2026 RGPS Golden Expedition — Horseshoe Council Bluffs

The 2026 RGPS Golden Expedition stop at Horseshoe Council Bluffs is scheduled for November 17–22, 2026, in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

RunGood lists the stop on its official events calendar as part of the RGPS Golden Expedition schedule, but a dedicated event page with the full tournament-by-tournament schedule, Main Event buy-in, guarantee, structures, registration windows and re-entry rules has not yet been published as of this draft.

Players should treat the dates and venue as confirmed and continue checking the official RunGood Events schedule before making final tournament plans.

⠀

Confirmed Dates and Venue

The confirmed tournament window is November 17–22, 2026.

The confirmed venue is Horseshoe Council Bluffs in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The property is located across the Missouri River from Omaha, making the stop accessible to players from western Iowa, eastern Nebraska and the broader Midwest region.

At this stage, RunGood has confirmed the series listing on its official events calendar, but not the complete event schedule for the Council Bluffs stop.

⠀

Official Schedule Status

Players should use the official RunGood Events schedule as the primary schedule source for this stop.

As of this guide, the official RunGood calendar confirms:

• Series: RGPS Golden Expedition

• Venue: Horseshoe Council Bluffs

• Location: Council Bluffs, Iowa

• Dates: November 17–22, 2026

The following details have not yet been officially released for this specific stop:

• Full event-by-event schedule

• Main Event buy-in

• Main Event guarantee

• Main Event starting flights

• Starting stacks

• Blind levels

• Late-registration windows

• Re-entry rules

• Satellite schedule

• Final table or Day 2 timing

Because those details can materially affect travel and bankroll planning, players should not rely on older Horseshoe Council Bluffs RGPS schedules as a substitute for the 2026 Golden Expedition schedule.

Main Event Information

The Main Event details for RGPS Horseshoe Council Bluffs have not yet been officially released.

That means the buy-in, guarantee, starting flights, Day 2 date, starting stack, level length, registration deadline and re-entry rules should all be treated as pending until RunGood publishes the dedicated schedule or structure sheet for this stop.

Once the official schedule is released, the Main Event section should be updated with the confirmed buy-in, guarantee, flight structure and registration details.

⠀

What Players Should Watch For

When the full schedule is posted, players should review more than just the Main Event.

Important items to check include:

• Opening event format and guarantee

• Number of ring events or trophy events

• Main Event flight schedule

• One-day No-Limit Hold’em events

• Omaha or mixed-game events, if offered

• Seniors, Ladies or bounty events, if included

• Satellite availability

• Registration and late-registration cutoff times

• Re-entry limits by event

• Structure sheets for major events

Regional series schedules often include multiple daily tournament options, so players planning a multi-day trip should compare the full lineup before choosing travel dates.

⠀

Registration and Re-Entry Details

Registration, late-registration and re-entry rules have not yet been officially released for the 2026 RGPS Horseshoe Council Bluffs stop.

Players should verify each event’s posted structure sheet before entering. The most important items to confirm are the registration cutoff, whether re-entry is allowed, how many re-entries are permitted and whether re-entry remains open through a specific level or break.

Those details can vary by event, especially between one-day side events, multi-flight Main Events and satellite tournaments.

⠀

Planning Around the Schedule

Until the complete schedule is released, the safest approach is to treat November 17–22 as the confirmed series window and wait for the event-by-event schedule before locking in specific tournament plans.

Players focused on the Main Event should watch for:

• The first starting flight

• The final starting flight

• Day 2 timing

• Whether the Main Event overlaps with other major regional series

• Whether satellites are offered before or during the Main Event window

Players who prefer lower buy-ins or shorter one-day events should check the final schedule for midweek and weekend options once RunGood publishes the full listing.

Venue Notes for Poker Players

Horseshoe Council Bluffs is a familiar Midwest poker venue and has hosted major regional poker events, including WSOP Circuit activity. Angry Aces Poker also maintains a separate guide for the 2026 WSOP Circuit Council Bluffs, another tournament series hosted at the same property.

For RGPS players, the key practical point is to verify all tournament-specific information directly with RunGood or the venue before arriving. Tournament room location, player registration areas, alternate seating procedures and payout processing can vary by series setup.

⠀

Final Thoughts

The 2026 RGPS Golden Expedition stop at Horseshoe Council Bluffs is confirmed for November 17–22, but the tournament’s full official schedule has not yet been released.

That makes this guide useful for confirming the date window, venue and current schedule status, but it should be updated once RunGood publishes the full Council Bluffs schedule. The most important missing items are the Main Event buy-in, guarantee, starting flights, structure and registration rules.
