Stamps, Rings and Big Guarantees: RGPS Heads to Reno

The RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) Passport Season is set to stop at Atlantis Casino Resort Spa in Reno, Nevada, with tournament action running from February 24 through March 1, 2026.

The series will bring a full slate of events to Northern Nevada, continuing the Passport Season schedule with a stop expected to attract both local players and traveling RGPS regulars from across the region. Players can look forward to a full week of action with nine RGPS rings on the line, highlighted by the $800 RGPS Passport Reno Main Event with a $150,000 guarantee, along with the PokerNews PowerStack, which has quickly become a staple on the RGPS schedule this season.

$800 Main Event Features $150K Guarantee

Headlining the stop will be the $800 RGPS Passport Reno Main Event, which features a $150,000 guaranteed prize pool and four Day 1 starting flights.

Action gets underway on Friday February 27th, with Day 1a at 11 a.m. and Day 1b at 6 p.m., followed by two additional flights on Saturday, before surviving players return for Day 2 on Sunday, March 1. The multi-flight structure provides several opportunities to advance, with the remaining field combining on Day 2 to play through the money, the final table, and ultimately crown a champion.

PokerNews PowerStack Off to a Hot Start

Also on the schedule is the $400 PokerNews PowerStack, featuring a $40,000 guaranteed prize pool and three starting flights.

Now a regular fixture at RGPS festivals during the Passport Season, the PokerNews PowerStack offers deep starting stacks and strong value at a modest buy-in. Players also earn points toward the PokerNews Tour year-long leaderboard, adding extra significance for those chasing season-long honors, with the top 10 finishers awarded a $1,100 Main Event seat at Thunder Valley, complete with hotel accommodations.

The PowerStack gets underway with Day 1a on February 24 at 11 a.m., followed by Day 1b on February 25, and 1c later that same evening, before survivors return for Day 2 on Thursday to play down to a winner.

The event has consistently smashed its guarantee this early season, further establishing the PokerNews PowerStack as a staple of the RGPS schedule.
