Get Ready for Action as Day 1a of RGPS Jamul Casino Main Event Kicks Off at 6:00 P.M. PST
The next RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) champion will be crowned this weekend as the RGPS Jamul Casino Main Event in San Diego is about to get underway. The $600 buy-in tournament kicks off today at 6 p.m. Pacific Time with Day 1a.
The RGPS Jamul Casino Main Event has a guaranteed prize pool of $150,000 and is expected to surpass that as players have four starting flights to choose from. Day 1b will commence on Friday, November 18 at 6:00 p.m., Day 1c will start Saturday at 11:00 a.m., and Day 1d will be underway later that evening at 6 p.m.
Players will begin with a stack of 30,000 chips and blind levels of 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante. Blind levels will last for 30 minutes, and the tournament allows for unlimited re-entry up until the start of Level 9.
Day 1 will break after the top 12.5 % of the field has been reached and the surviving players will be in the money. At the end of each starting flight, the remaining players will return for Day 2 on Sunday, November 20 at 11:00 a.m. and play down to a winner.
The eventual winner of the RGPS Jamul Casino Main Event will be awarded the ever-sytlish RGPS championship ring and earn the lion��s share of the prize pool, as well as an exclusive invitation and $800 seat and stipend package to the RGPS: All-Stars Pro-am Event at PokerGo Studios in December 2022.
A handful of RunGood ambassadors will take their shot in the Jamul Casino Main Event, including Joe Stapleton, Preston McEwen, Cody Stanford, and Taylor Howard.
Last month, Nebraska��s Derrick Plumage achieved back-to-back Main Event Titles as he won the RGPS Council Bluffs Main Event and earned a payday of $56,931. That event drew 576 entrants and generated a total prize pool of $299,520.
