Welcome to RunGood Poker Series Hard Rock Tulsa
It's time for the second tournament in RunGood's spring "Ignite the Night" poker series.
A week after the tour rolled through Harrah's North Kansas City, it's back in its home state of Oklahoma for another event at Hard Rock Tulsa. Last time out, Troy Repp topped a field of 281 runners here to take home $33,998 in prize money.
This time out, the tournament is expected to be bigger and better, as there's a $10,000 WSOP Main Event seat up for grabs that's added on to the prize pool. Additionally, tournament organizers have told us they expect some big names to be playing, with Olivier Busquet and Tripp Kirk's names being dropped.
The tournament kicks off at 7 p.m. with the first of three starting flights, and 12 30-minute levels are scheduled to be played. Stay tuned for all of the live updates here on PokerNews.
