RGPS is kicking off a string of tour stops with its first event at Graton Resort and Casino in Rohnert Park, California. The tour will continue on to Cleveland from September 22-October 2 before stops in Tunica, Tulsa, and Iowa. The remainder of the year for RunGood includes a CardPlayer cruise and a stop in San Diego before the $1,000,000 Season Finale at Thunder Valley in Lincoln, California.
Players will start with 30,000 in chips and registration is open until the start of Level 9. Levels are 30 minutes long and the opening flights will play until 12.5% of the field remains. The second flight of the evening will kick off at 6 p.m.
Players can play in all Day 1 flights, and if a player qualifies from multiple flights their highest stack will remain in play while they receive the lowest Day 2 prize for other bags. Survivors from the four opening flights will return on Sunday at 11 a.m. for the Day 2 finale.
