Several other events will play out on May 15, including a $300 One Day NLH Ring Event, and a $250 Double Green Chip Bounty Ring Event.

The series will culminate with the $1,110 Main Event, a higher price point than most RunGood championship events that offers three starting flights beginning May 16. The event will then play to a winner on May 18.

Other highlights across the series include a $500 Pot Limit Omaha Ring Event, a $400 Black Chip Bounty Ring Event and a $250 Closer NLH Ring Event that will wrap up the series on May 18.

Will Blair Hinkle Win Another Ring?

At the last RGPS Kansas City stop in May 2024, the $1,100 Main Event drew 477 runners for a prize pool of $462,690.

A familiar name emerged victorious as RGPS regular Blair Hinkle won his fourth RGPS ring after a five-year drought. He defeated heads-up opponent Shaun “The Ghost” Emery to win $92,228, while the final table also included Cory Smith (3rd - $45,473), Beau Wilshire (4th - $33,971) and Michael Lucas (5th - $25,637).

“I’m feeling tired but really great,” Hinkle told PokerNewsafter the victory. “That was a tough final table; I ran insanely hot and had a huge chip lead. But the final table was a roller coaster. I’m just glad it worked out for me.”
