The series here in Reno has already had several events complete, with multiple players taking home a RunGood Series ring. A couple of those include; Harley Brooks who won Event #6: $250 Double Green Chip Bounty for $2,945 and Joseph Mussat who achieved his ring by winning Event #4: $250 DeepStack No-Limit Hold’em for $10,213 after beating a nice field of 202 runners.
