Welcome to Day 1a of the RGPS "Game 7" Hard Rock Tulsa Main Event!
The RunGood Poker Series "Game 7" season continues this weekend with the $675 buy-in, $100K GTD Main Event from Hard Rock Tulsa. The tournament begins at 7 p.m. tonight with the Day 1a flight, while 1b and 1c will take place at Noon and 7 p.m. local time respectively on Saturday. The surviving players from each flight will then return at noon on Sunday to play down to a winner.
Players start with 20,000 starting chips and will play 12 30-minute levels in their opening flight before bagging for Day 2. Levels will increase to 45 minutes on Day 2 before going up to one hour once the final table is reached.
This season at the RGPS is "Championship Ring" season and each winner of an RGPS event will win a Signature Championship Ring. The stop has already minted new ring winners in Brent Harrington, Chad Holloway, Katerina Lukina, Justin Gardenhire, and Daniel Lowery. We'll be bringing you mini-recaps of those tournaments here in the blog throughout the night.
The last time the RGPS visited the venue was back in May, which is when Blair Hinkle topped a 313-entry field to win the tournament for $35,985 and his first RGPS Main Event title. He's since added two more to his poker resume. Hinkle is expected to be in attendance to attempt a title defense. Others expected to fire are Survivor's "Boston" Rob Mariano, Lexy Gavin, Bob Mather, Matt Waxman, and many more.
