Players are now on a 15-minute break.
"We want to put the fun back in poker."
Those were the words of RunGoodGear.com CEO Tana Karn shortly before the Main Event of the 2015 RunGood Poker Series Downstream Casino Main Event was set to begin.
"There is a lot of personality in poker. A lot of up and coming players that have a lot to offer and we feel that we can help promote poker in a positive light. Poker is fun and we know that people can have a good time playing poker while trying to make some money."
RunGoodGear is determined to have a prominent place in the poker market in numerous ways. They have an unmatched stable of Team Pros with veteran players like Jordan Morgan, Bernard Lee, and Jamie Kerstetter joining forces with top young guns like Bryan Campanello and Joe Serock. Add in a fledgling and growing poker tour and a poker apparel company and it's easy to see why people are talking up RunGoodGear and what they are doing for poker.
"We want to be able to provide poker players with stylish and comfortable clothes for on and off the felt," said Karn. "Surfing has Quiksilver. Poker has RunGood."
Karn is more than just talk. He's a man of action. During play tonight he made a call to a local pizza delivery place and had 15 pizzas delivered for the players to eat while playing. Players thanked him endless times to which Karn would just say "no thank you, we wouldn't have a company without you."
It's statements like that which will keep RunGoodGear.com around for many years to come.
