The RGPS Reno Day 1A Kicks Off at 11:00 am
The RunGood Poker Series has made its second trip out west this year. It has made its home at the Atlantis Casino in Reno Nevada, awarding out 10 rings over the course of the week. Today begins the biggest tournament of the series as the first $600 Main Event begins today at 11:00 am.
Last year in October, it was Dustin Cavanaugh who secured his first ever live tournament cash on Hendon Mob with his first RGPS ring, with $33,450 as a nice cash prize to boot. He beat out a final table that included many RGPS regulars including Michael P Harris, Matthew Betti, and WPT World Championship winner Scott Stewart.
