RGPS Tunica $600 Main Event Kicks off at 6:00 p.m.
For the first 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 6 p.m. tonight.
Players will begin the tournament with 30,000 chips with levels starting at 100/200 and a 200 big blind ante. Levels will escalate once every 30 minutes, with a 15-minute break occurring every four levels. Players can enter 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, March 5th where they will all be in the money. Players who do not bag on this flight can play the remaining two flights on Saturday, March 4th.
The last RGPS stop in Tunica last October saw the $100,000 guaranteed prize pool triple to over $300,000 as 597 entrants made their way out to play the main event. After battling it out on the final table, it was JW Carter who took home the trophy and $58,110 for his victory. This time around, the prize pool guarantee has been upped to $200,000 and is still expected to be smashed.
