The upcoming RGPS Reno stop will kick off on Oct. 8 with a $250 buy-in Seniors Ring Event with a $10,000 guarantee, followed by a $250 Series Opener NLH Ring Event later in the afternoon with a $5,000 guarantee. Yet another $250 tournament will take place that evening with the $5,000 guaranteed Ambassador Bounty Ring Event.
Some highlights of the series include a $300 PLO Ring Event and $300 Black Chip Bounty Ring Event, both of which will take place on Oct. 10, as well as a $300 One Day NLH Ring Event and a $300 Tag Team Ring Event that will close out the series on Oct. 13.
The biggest draw of the series is the $150,000 guaranteed Main Event, which will feature four starting flights starting on Oct. 11. There are also plenty of satellite opportunities, giving players a way to get in on the Main Event action for as little as $85.
In May, the RGPS Reno $600 Main Event drew 291 runners and saw Billy Casey coming out on top for $29,092 and his first RunGood Ring after a heads-up deal with Andrew Fredericks.
“I feel like a winner,” the newest member of the RGPS champions club said with a big smile on his face. “All my grandkids have gotten my jewelry as they have grown up," he told PokerNewsafter his win.
Others who cashed the Main Event in May include Brittney Barnes, (8th - $4,200), Chris Wilcox (5th - $7,225) and Bret Toups (3rd - $15,375).
