RGPS San Diego Main Event Day 1a Kicks off at 6 p.m.!
After only a few months since the last stop here, the RunGood Poker Series is back at Jamul Casino in beautiful San Diego as the second stop on their newest season Destination: RunGood . The series returns tonight for the first of three starting flights for the stop's $600 Main Event. With a championship ring up for grabs alongside the $125,000 guaranteed prize pool, this event will bring out many familiar faces and ring winners from past RGPS seasons, adding to the stop's already fun and family-like atmosphere at the tables.
As with all of the RunGood Main Events, the eventual winner will also win a seat in the invitation-only Dream Seat event that runs at the end of the year. The tournament's eventual winner will then win a seat into the 64-player capped field PokerGo Invitational $1,000,000 guaranteed freeroll, meaning that taking down this event could be a ticket to life-changing money for whoever goes home with the title.
The RGPS San Diego defending champion from last November is Derrick Yamada who topped a 299-person field to take down the top prize of $31,565 along with the title and the ring after a heads-up chop deal with Steve Hoang.
