The RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) is set to bring its Gateway Poker Classic to Hollywood St. Louis in Missouri, running from Aug. 4-9. The stop follows the conclusion of the tour’s Passport Season at Thunder Valley Casino in California.
The series will feature several trophy events before culminating in an $800 buy-in Main Event carrying a $200,000 guaranteed prize pool. As is standard for RGPS stops, PokerNews will provide live reporting coverage of the Main Event.
Action begins Aug. 4 with a $250 Seniors Trophy Event guaranteeing $10,000, alongside a $300 Series Opener and a $300 Tag Team event. The following day introduces the $400 Deepstack, a series highlight offering a $50,000 guarantee across three starting flights before crowning a winner on Aug. 6.
The Main Event, carrying a guarantee four times larger than the Deepstack, will launch the same day with the first of four starting flights. Play will continue until a champion is determined on Day 2, Aug. 9.
Other notable tournaments on the schedule include the $200 Ladies Missouri State Championship, a $500 PLO Trophy Event, a $400 Black Chip Bounty event, and a $250 Closer event that will wrap up the series.
This will not be the first RGPS Main Event title decided in St. Louis this year. In March, Gabriel Attoun won the Passport Season St. Louis Main Event, earning a career-high $83,141 after outlasting a field of 647 entrants, defeating Bradley Young heads-up. Before returning to St. Louis, RunGood will host the RGPS San Diego Poker Classic at Jamul Casino from July 30 through Aug. 9.
