The RGPS Main Event Returns to St. Louis; Day 1a Starts Today at 5 p.m.
For the second time in RunGood Poker Series history, the tour has made its home at Hollywood Casino in St. Louis, Missouri. This week, the stop sees a total of eight events (including one PLO), with the biggest being the $800 Main Event that boasts a $200,000 guaranteed prize pool.
The event looks to attract a number of well-known circuit players, including RGPS Player of the Year points leader Brian Winter, who seeks to extend his commanding points lead even further as the season winds down next month.
Look out for other notable players to make an appearance this week as well, including last year's winner Keith Heine, who took home the ring and top prize of $88,506, as well as players like RGPS regs Angela Jordison, David Prociak, and Grant Hinkle, all looking to scoop a ring and the high five-figure first-place prize.
