The RunGood Poker Series Dream Factory has grown in scope, as PokerNews has added a second PGT Championship seat to the festival at Thunder Valley Casino Resort. The event already featured one such seat, and now two separate tournaments will each offer a path to the PokerGO Studio.
The two $300 buy-in events, the RunGood Winner’s Circle on December 1 and the RunGood Dream Seat Invitational on December 2, are restricted to players who have earned an official RGPS Championship Ring during the 2023, 2024, 2025 or 2026 seasons. PokerNews will provide live updates from both tournaments as the fields narrow down to a champion.
Beyond the standard prize pools, both events will hand out three extra prizes. The winner of each secures a PGT Championship seat, the runner-up receives a $600 Hendon Mob Mid-Major Championship seat, and third place earns a $400 PokerNews Cup seat.
The Winner’s Circle begins at 11 a.m. on December 1, and all entrants will also be eligible for the RunGood “Compete for the Seat” Gameshow that evening at the RunGood Player Party inside Illusions Bar, which carries an additional $6,000 in prizes.
The Dream Seat Invitational follows at 11 a.m. on December 2. Part of its field will consist of the top 10 finishers from the PokerNews PowerStack Leaderboard, a season-long points race across the 2026 Fall RGPS schedule. Those players receive entry into the event, a $300 travel stipend and a two-night hotel stay at Thunder Valley.
The RGPS Dream Factory runs from November 27 through December 3 at Thunder Valley Casino Resort in Lincoln, California.
