The RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) continues its Road Trip with a trip to Kansas City from October 24-29 for six full days of poker action at Harrah’s Casino with a $1,100 Main Event that guarantees a prize pool of $200,000.

In addition to the $1,100 Main Event, the series also offers a two-day $400 Deepstack and the RGPS Step Satellite the week before the series kicks off.

The RGPS Step Satellite will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 17, Thursday, Oct. 19, and Monday, Oct. 23. The first two days will offer a $100 satellite where one in five players will move on to Monday’s $400 Mega Package Satellite. Mega satellite players will take their shot at a winner’s package that includes a $200 buy-in, a $400 buy-in, and a ticket to the $1,100 Main Event.

The last time RGPS was in Kansas City was in May of 2023 when Andre Allen won the Main Event for $86,550 against a field of 497 entries.

Throughout the Road Trip series, Main Event winners will secure a spot in the Dream Seat Invitational at Thunder Valley Resort in November. The winner of the Dream Seat Invitational will be entered into the invitation-only PokerGO Tour Championship in December where they will battle it out with the game’s top players for a $1,000,000 prize pool.
