RGPS Golden Expedition — bestbet Jacksonville

The 2026 RunGood Poker Series Golden Expedition at bestbet Jacksonville features 11 championship-ring events, a $200,000-guaranteed PokerNews PowerStack and a $1,200 Main Event with a $300,000 guarantee.

The championship-ring schedule runs October 21 through November 1, 2026. RunGood’s current event heading, master calendar and detailed schedule now agree on the October 21 start, when the $200 Ladies No-Limit Hold’em Ring Event begins at noon.

Pre-series satellites begin even earlier, on October 13. Those qualifiers should not be confused with the beginning of the championship-ring schedule. For tournament-planning purposes, October 21 is the first published ring-event date.

Players can view the full official RGPS Golden Expedition bestbet Jacksonville schedule and should check it again before traveling in case RunGood or bestbet makes schedule changes.

⠀

PokerNews PowerStack

The Jacksonville PokerNews PowerStack is a $400 No-Limit Hold'em ring event carrying a $200,000 guarantee.

Six starting flights are scheduled:

• Flight A: October 22 at 12 PM

The final day begins at noon on October 25 and is scheduled for bestbetLIVE coverage.

The published structure gives players 30,000 starting chips with 30-minute levels. Registration remains open until the start of Level 9, and unlimited re-entries are permitted during the registration period.

Players can make multiple qualifying stacks. If a player reaches the final day from more than one flight, the highest stack remains in play and each additional Day 2 bag earns a $1,200 multi-bag bonus from the prize pool.

⠀

$1,200 RGPS Main Event

The $1,200 RGPS Main Event carries a $300,000 guarantee and runs from Thursday, October 29 through Sunday, November 1.

Three starting flights are scheduled:

• Flight 1A: Thursday, October 29 at 12 PM

• Flight 1B: Friday, October 30 at 12 PM

• Flight 1C: Saturday, October 31 at 12 PM

• Day 2 / Final Day: Sunday, November 1 at 12 PM

Each starting flight begins with 30,000 chips and uses 40-minute levels. The published Main Event structure reduces levels to 30 minutes during heads-up play. Registration remains open until the start of Level 10, with unlimited re-entries available during the registration period.

Day 1 flights are scheduled to stop when approximately 12.5% of the field remains, rounded as provided in the official structure, or at the tournament director's discretion. Only players advancing to Day 2 will be in the money.

Players are allowed to enter later starting days even after advancing from an earlier flight. A player who bags more than once takes the highest stack forward, while each additional qualifying stack earns a $3,600 multi-bag bonus from the prize pool.

The Main Event final table is scheduled to be streamed on bestbetLIVE.

Players can view the official Main Event structure sheet for the complete blind schedule and tournament rules.

⠀

Main Event Satellites

bestbet's published schedule includes several paths into the $1,200 Main Event.

$280 Main Event satellites appear on October 25, 26 and 27. Milestone satellites with 10 seats guaranteed are scheduled for October 28, October 29 and October 30.

The wider qualifying schedule begins before the ring-event portion of the festival, with satellites listed as early as October 13 and a Main Event Mega scheduled before the official championship events begin.

Players should distinguish these preliminary qualifiers from the ring-event schedule when planning their arrival.

⠀

Tournament Structures and Registration

Tournament structures are now published, replacing the earlier period when Jacksonville-specific structure information was unavailable.

bestbet provides individual structure sheets for the numbered events and satellites on its dedicated series page. Players can view the bestbet Jacksonville RGPS schedule and structure sheets.

bestbet states that all listed events permit unlimited re-entries during their registration periods. Most are one-day tournaments; the exceptions include the Flip and Go, PokerNews PowerStack and Main Event.

Registration details vary by tournament, so players should use the structure sheet for the event they intend to enter rather than assuming the Main Event or PowerStack rules apply throughout the series.

⠀

The October 21 Start-Date Discrepancy

The earlier start-date discrepancy has been resolved. RunGood now lists October 21 through November 1, matching bestbet’s numbered ring-event schedule.

Preliminary satellites begin October 13. Those qualifiers are separate from the championship-ring schedule, which opens with the Ladies event on October 21.

⠀

bestbet Jacksonville Poker Room

bestbet Jacksonville is located at 201 Monument Road, Jacksonville, FL 32225.

The venue currently lists Jacksonville poker-room hours as 10 AM to 4 AM Monday through Friday and 24 hours on Saturday and Sunday. Players must be at least 18 years old to enter the facility and play.

The room is hosting both the Golden Expedition tournament schedule and the published event structures, making bestbet's dedicated RunGood page an important companion to the tour's official event page.
