Welcome to Day 1a of the RunGood Poker Series Horseshoe Council Bluffs Golden Ticket Main Event
In "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory", possessing a Golden Ticket netted the owner access to a world of pure imagination in the form of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. For players in today's RunGood Poker Series Horseshoe Council Bluffs $420 Golden Ticket Main Event, the goal is not only the top prize in the $40,000 Guaranteed tournament, but a Golden Ticket of their own that will earn them access to an exclusive tournament in December.
Players in today's Day 1a flight will begin with 20,000 in tournament chips, and once the action kicks off at 10 a.m. CST, blinds will start at 100/100 and increase every 30 minutes through Level 12. The final three levels scheduled for the evening will be 45 minutes in length, and play will conclude at the end of Level 15 or under the Tournament Director's discretion, whichever comes first. Players may re-enter and late register up through the break at Level 8. One final flight will begin Saturday, November 12th at 10 a.m., and survivors from the two starting flights will reconvene on Sunday, November 13th at 10 a.m. to play down to a champion.
That champion will earn the aforementioned Golden Ticket, which gives them a coveted seat in the RGPS All-Stars ProAm on December 11th and 12th. The inaugural RGPS: All-Star ProAm event will take place inside the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the 64-player field will include 32 players that qualified at various events throughout the RGPS season (including three more qualifiers during this series), along with 32 invited players that include celebrities, streamers, and poker industry members. All of the action will be streamed on PokerGo, as well, so players looking to make their mark in front of a viewing audience will be looking to nab one of the last Golden Tickets to be handed out before the ProAm gets underway.
PokerNews will be on hand all weekend long with all the action from Horseshoe Council Bluffs, so be sure to stay tuned as one of the last All-Stars ProAm seats is handed out in this weekend's Main Event!
