Day 1a of RGPS Grand Prix Council Bluffs $800 Main Event Kicks Off at 6 p.m.

The RunGood Poker Series returns to Iowa here at Horseshoe Council Bluffs just five miles from Omaha, with Day 1a of the RGPS Grand Prix $800 Main Event kicking off at 6:00 p.m. local time. The tournament features a $111,000 guaranteed prize pool, with three Day 1 starting flights taking place over two days. Players who advance from each flight will combine and return for Day 2 on Sunday, November 23, where a winner will be crowned.

The last time the RGPS made a stop in Council Bluffs was back in April for the 2025 Mission RunGood Series, where the main event generated a whopping $322,700 prize pool. Iowa native Thomas Wikoff parlayed a $190 satellite into $64,869 by topping a field of 461 entries to capture his first RGPS ring.

Players will begin each starting flight with 30,000 in chips and blinds will begin at 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante. Blinds will be 30 minutes in length during the open registration period (Levels 1-8) and will increase to 40 minutes after late registration closes (Level 9 and beyond). At the completion of Level 8, players may forfeit their stack and reenter for $800.

Should a player choose to play multiple Day 1 flights, only the highest qualifying stack will be permitted to continue to Day 2. Any lower stack(s) will be removed from play at the start of Day 2 and receive a min-cash.

Play for Day 1 flights will conclude once 12.5% of the field (rounded down) remains and those who bag will be in the money. Day 2 will then start at the earliest blind level of the three flights on Sunday, November 23, where the event will play down to a winner.
