Final Opening Flights Scheduled for Saturday
RunGood Poker Series Grand Prix will host two more flights for the $800 RunGood Poker Series Grand Prix Main Event at Reno, Nevada, at the Atlantis Resort and Casino.
Saturday will feature a fresh crop of entrants as players continue to chase a piece of the $150,000 guarnteed prize pool and the RGPS title and ring. For players in the area, this is the second time the RunGood Poker Series has stopped in Reno this year, as it made a stop in March to host the 2025 Mission RunGood Poker Series, giving local players another chance to capture RPGS glory.
The 2025 RunGood Poker Series Grand Prix will finish the opening flights on Saturday, with Day 1c set to begin at 11 a.m., and Day 1d will take place at 6 p.m. The final day is scheduled to begin at 12 p.m. on Sunday. The tournament will play down until a winner is crowned.
Each starting flight will play down to 12.5% of the field, who will advance to Day 2 on Sunday. Late registration will take place until the start of Level 9. Players are entitled to play in all Day 1 flights if they choose. The player will advance to Day 2 with the higher chip stack of their qualified entries, with the lower stacks being removed from play, and receive the lowest Day 2 payout.
The two opening flights of the main event featured a total of 142 entrants, with 17 players advancing to Day 2. Thomas Phillips (977,000), Robert Hancock (579,000), Denis Lee (418,000), David Paredes (352,000), and Mike Sippola (320,000) were the top five finishers from Day 1ab.
Blinds are scheduled for 30 minutes on Day 1 and 40 minutes on Day 2. Blinds for each starting flight are scheduled to begin at 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante. Blinds will reset on Day 2 at the lowest level of play on Day 1 flights.
A total of three redraws will occur, with one scheduled to begin on Day 2. Another set of redraws occurs when there are 27 players left, and nine players left when they reach the final table. There are 15-minute breaks scheduled after every four levels of play until Level 9. Then the 15-minute breaks are scheduled every three levels of play.
