The RGPS Season's First Main Event Starts at 7 p.m.
The first stop of the Run Good Poker Series (RGPS) "Game 7" Season has kicked off strong at the Horseshoe Casino in Tunica. Each event so far has pulled more entries than last season's stop — including a new pot-limit Omaha (PLO) tournament.
This is the first stop on the "Game 7" tour, where each player who wins an RGPS event wins a specially made championship ring made by Signature rings.
The biggest event of the weekend, the $575 Main Event is kicking off Friday night at 7 p.m. with the first of three opening flights. With record numbers so far this stop, the prize pool in the Main should be quite large and give the players a shot at $50K plus payday.
The players start with 20,000 chips and have 12 30-minutes levels to make their way into Day 2. Registration will remain open until the start of level nine.
Stay tuned to PokerNews.com for all the updates and photos from the RGPS main event from the Tunica Horseshoe.

RGPS Tunica Horseshoe Main Event Players: Stuart Breakstone
Level 1
: 100/100, 0 ante
Stuart Breakstone used to travel the circuit to play a lot more poker than he currently does.
He has been a lawyer for 28 years and working as a divorce and custody lawyer.
He says that he had way more time to play poker after the housing crisis since people couldn't afford to get divorced. Nowadays his work is keeping him busier and he only gets to play once in a while.
He is from Memphis, Tennessee and is in the field. He's sitting at a table with RunGood Ambassador Preston McEwen and local legend Connie Rice.

Al Williams and Chris Dietsch Book Their Seats to the RGPS Main
Level 2
: 100/100, 100 ante
Earlier today several players queued up for single table satellites where the top two places earned a seat to the main event.
Al Williams, a poker player from Clarksdale, MS and Chris Dietsch, one of the dealers in the room here, have both earned a seat into the main event.
Williams says poker is all he does and that he did all the work in the satellite to help Dietsch get his seat.
He stood up and was cheering for Dietsch to win when he was all in with pocket eights against the ace-high of the eventual third-place finisher.
