RGPS Cleveland $1,000 Main Event Fires up today at 3:15 p.m.!
For the first time this year, The RunGood Poker Series has returned to JACK Casino in Cleveland, Ohio. The series included eight ring events including a $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship that will begin on Sunday, and the $1,000 RGPS Main Event with $400,000 prize pool guarantee, beginning today at 3:15 p.m. local time.
Last year when the tour came to this casino, the $1,000 Main Event saw a total of 590 entrants come out to play, creating a prize pool of $508,580. After the dust settled on Day 2, it was Louis Ganser who hoisted the RGPS Ring and took home a not-so-little amount of $102,225 for his first RGPS title.
