From October 20 to 25, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa (Oklahoma) will once again host a stop of the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) Golden Expedition. Organizers have prepared a packed schedule: over six days, participants will be able to play in eight ring events, including the Main Event with an $800 buy-in and a $100,000 guarantee.

Eight ring events in six days The RGPS Golden Expedition Tulsa schedule kicks off on October 20 and immediately offers players three tournaments: $300 Seniors Ring Event — a tournament for players aged 50 and over; $250 Series Opener Ring Event — the opening event of the series; $300 Tag Team Double Ring Event — a team tournament where both members of the winning team receive a ring. One of the key events on the schedule will be the $400 PokerNews PokerStack Ring Event . This is a two-day tournament with two starting flights and a $50,000 guarantee. This format gives players a second chance to advance to the next day if they don’t make it on their first attempt. However, the highlight of the series remains the Main Event with an $800 buy-in and a guaranteed prize pool of $100,000. The tournament features four starting flights, with the final day and the crowning of the champion taking place on October 25. Thanks to the large guarantee and affordable buy-in, the Main Event is expected to attract a substantial field. The schedule also features: $400 40/40/40 Ring Event — a tournament with a unique structure; $400 Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) Ring Event — an event in the popular poker variant; $400 Black Chip Bounty NLH Ring Event — a bounty tournament for knocking out opponents, which will conclude the series on October 25 alongside Day 2 of the Main Event.
