RunGood Poker Series to make Reno debut at the Atlantis

$100K guaranteed main event headlines schedule of events

Reno, NV – Atlantis Casino Resort Spa is excited to host the Biggest Little City’s first-ever RunGood Poker Series tour stop May 2 - May 7. The six-day series includes a range of guaranteed tournaments and ten ring events, headlined by a $100,000 guaranteed main event. Each ring event winner will earn the chance to buy into the tour’s end-of-year $300 Dream Seat Invitational sponsored by PokerGO.

“We are always looking for new ways to raise the stakes for poker players in our region,” said Shannon Kenny, manager of the Atlantis Poker Room. “This three-time Global Poker Award winning tour will give players of all skill levels the opportunity to take part in a fun, elevated gaming experience.”

The schedule at the Atlantis includes events such as No Limit Hold’em, Limit O/8, and Pot Limit Omaha. An opening night Guest Bounty Ring Event will feature professional poker players and commentators Jeff Platt and Jamie Kerstetter. Buy-ins for ring events range from $200 to $600.

Participants will also be playing for a purpose as the RunGood Poker Series supports its non-profit partner, Operation Gratitude. For every side-event winner and main event final table player, the RunGood Poker Series will be donating a care package to be shipped overseas to service members. Limited edition hats will also be available for $25 with all proceeds going towards Operation Gratitude.

“We are thrilled to bring the RunGood Poker Series to the Atlantis and look forward to giving players the chance at something special, “said Tana Karn, President of RunGood Poker Series. “After everything we’ve faced the past couple of years weathered by the incredible support of players, it is a proud moment to be able to pay it forward.”

The Atlantis is offering participants special room rates for the series. For registration and booking information, visit atlantiscasino.com/checkpoint.
