Welcome To The 2022 RunGood Poker Series Contenders Tour Tunica $600 Main Event
For the second time this year, The RunGood Poker Series has found its way to The Horseshoe Casino and Hotel in Tunica, Mississippi. After a successful week of preliminary events, that saw all of the prize pool guarantees surpassed, the weekend kicks off with Flight A of The $600 RunGood Main Event beginning at 7 p.m. tonight.
Players will begin the tournament with 30,000 chips with levels beginning at 100/200 and a 200 big blind ante. Levels will escalate once every 30 minutes, with a 10-minute break occurring every four levels. Players will have the option to enter in as many times as they wish in the first eight levels of the tournament. Play will continue until the field plays down 12.5%, then the remaining players will bag up for Sunday October 9th where they will all be in the money. Players who do not bag on this flight, will be able to play the remaining two flights on Saturday, October 8th.
This spring’s RGPS in Tunica saw the $100,000 guaranteed prize pool triple as 602 entrants made their way out to play the main event. After an even chop six-ways, Max Le took home the trophy and $31,234 for his victory. This time around, the buy-in has been upped to $600 while still boasting a prize pool guarantee of $100,000, which it is expected to hit.
