Tulsa, OK: RunGood Gear, a clothing company built around the poker player, is starting its 2015 Fall RunGood Poker Series season at the Horseshoe Casino at Council Bluffs, IA at the end of August. This season’s tagline is “The Road to the RunGood Cup”. There are scheduled to be three stops leading up to a final RunGood Championship Main Event in December. RunGood has partnered up with Blaycation to coordinate thirty-six total $2,000 VIP packages for the championship that will be awarded to every side-event winner and final nine of each stop’s Main Event. Each package includes a travel allowance, hotel stay, a RunGood Championship seat, and nightly VIP events. The season’s full schedule can be found here: www.RunGoodPokerSeries.com. Expect to see friendly faces as RunGood ambassadors will be in attendance at each series.
The Horseshoe Casino Council Bluffs series will be starting up the action with a two-day $180 DeepStack 25K GTD kick-off tournament followed by a $200 Bounty Tournament ($50). Each winner will receive a $2,000 RunGood VIP Championship Package. The Main Event will again host a $100,000 Guarantee that was smashed last season to the tune of $251,340. The final nine will be awarded RunGood VIP Championship Packages as well. Package winners will be receiving a Road to the RunGood Cup hat and backpack while Main Event champions will be awarded, in addition, a custom “Road to the RunGood Cup” Seiko Watch.

“The best way to describe the RunGood Poker series is to recall a conversation I had with one of the poker room managers a while back. They were speaking with a player about upcoming events and was asked “When does that feel good series come back?”.” – Tana Karn, Founder and President of RunGoodGear.com.
Horseshoe Casino has provided a 30% off room rate code for the series at Harrah’s Council Bluffs, which is a couple miles down the road. Shuttles are available every 30 minutes. Use code “RUNGP” at www.harrahscouncilbluffs.com.
