The popular mid-major RunGood Poker Series will return in 2024 with a loaded front half of confirmed tour stops. The upcoming 2024 Spring Season, which actually encompasses a little more than half the calendar year, will be known as "Destination RunGood" and will include ten stops spread from California to Florida.
What began as an offshoot of founder Tana Karn's poker-clothing brand, RunGoodGear, has evolved into a multiple-award-winning mid-major series. From its first stops a decade ago in Tulsa, Oklahoma and nearby Joplin, Missouri, the RGPS has grown into a true coast-to-coast offering and a continuing market force.
Three visits to California
The ten spring-season series already confirmed by RunGood for 2024, include not one, but three separate trips to California, begiining with a late-February visit to Jamul Casino near San Diego. The RGPS will return to California in May and July with stops at the Bay Area's Graton Casino and at Thuder Valley, near Sacramento.
The RunGood Poker Series 2024 offerings actually begin in January with a series at what could be considered RunGood's "home" casino, Hard Rock Tulsa. Joplin's Downstream Casino will host a spring stop as well.
Karn, RunGood's CEO, declared, "Destination RunGood is more than just a theme; it's an invitation for players to experience poker as a way to explore the country. We've carefully curated the Spring Season to deliver excitement, camaraderie, and unparalleled competition."
Dream Seat Invitational to return in 2024
Among the new wrinkles in the 2024 season are redesigned rings for the winners of the tour's long-offered official ring events. The Dream Seat Invitational hosted at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas will also return in 2024. More information about that special event will be released at a future date. The RGPS has also benefited from its association with GPI/THM, although its unknown at this point if future Hendon Mob tourneys will be offered under the RunGood umbrella.
