The RunGood Poker Series is scheduled to bring its 2026 Golden Expedition to bestbet Jacksonville from October 22 through November 1, giving Northeast Florida an 11-day RGPS festival late in the tour's fall season.

The stop takes place at bestbet Jacksonville, 201 Monument Road in Jacksonville, Florida. RunGood's official 2026 event calendar confirms both the dates and venue, while the tour's Golden Expedition season announcement lists Jacksonville as one of the fall schedule's destinations.

As of August 16, 2026, RunGood has not published a Jacksonville-specific Golden Expedition tournament schedule or structure sheets. That means the number of championship-ring events, Main Event buy-in and guarantee, supporting events and individual tournament structures remain Not Published.

Players should not use the August 20–September 9 WPT festival as a substitute for RunGood information. The 2026 WPT bestbet Scramble Tournament Guide covers a separate tour and tournament schedule at the same venue.

⠀

2026 bestbet Jacksonville Series Overview

The Jacksonville festival is scheduled for 11 days, beginning Thursday, October 22 and ending Sunday, November 1.

RunGood introduced Golden Expedition as its 2026 fall-season theme, accompanied by a new championship-ring design and a schedule spanning numerous poker markets. Jacksonville falls toward the later part of that itinerary, after October stops in St. Louis, Houston and Tulsa.

Players following the season can also find Angry Aces guides for the RGPS Golden Expedition at Caesars New Orleans, RGPS Golden Expedition at The Barrel Social Club and RGPS Golden Expedition at MGM National Harbor.

Those guides are useful for following the broader Golden Expedition season, but their tournament schedules should not be treated as templates for Jacksonville. RunGood builds stop-specific schedules, and Jacksonville's exact event lineup must be confirmed independently.

⠀

Schedule Highlights

As of August 16, 2026, the complete bestbet Jacksonville Golden Expedition schedule is Not Published.

RunGood has not yet confirmed Jacksonville-specific details for:

Number of championship-ring events
Opening ring event
Main Event buy-in or guarantee
PokerNews PowerStack
Seniors event
Ladies event
Pot-Limit Omaha
Big O
Other mixed games
Black Chip Bounty
Mystery Bounty
Flip & Go
High Roller
Satellites
Overall festival guarantee

Players should monitor the official RunGood event calendar for the Jacksonville schedule release rather than relying on a previous bestbet Jacksonville series or another Golden Expedition stop.

bestbet also maintains an official tournament page where major upcoming Jacksonville series are published.

⠀

RGPS Main Event

The RGPS Main Event will be the centerpiece of this guide once RunGood releases the Jacksonville-specific tournament schedule and structure sheet.

As of August 16, 2026, the following Main Event information is Not Published:

Exact official event name
Buy-in
Guarantee
Starting flights
Flight dates and times
Starting stack
Blind levels
Level lengths
Late-registration period
Re-entry rules
Advancement or bagging requirements
Day 2 date and time
Final-day structure
Other winner benefits

RunGood's Golden Expedition announcement states that PokerNews will provide Main Event live reporting throughout the fall season. That gives players reason to expect PokerNews coverage of RGPS Main Events during Golden Expedition, although Jacksonville's dedicated coverage page and reporting schedule have not yet been posted.

No figures from the WPT bestbet Scramble or previous Jacksonville RunGood Main Events should be applied to this October festival.

⠀

Main Event Starting Flights and Day 2

Jacksonville Main Event flight information is Not Published.

RunGood has not yet announced how many starting flights will be offered, when those flights will begin, what percentage or number of players will advance, or when Day 2 will start.

The same applies to starting chips, blind progression, level duration, breaks, late registration and re-entry. Those details should come from the official Jacksonville structure sheet once RunGood publishes it.

For players planning flights or hotel stays around the Main Event, it is worth waiting for the actual Jacksonville schedule before making assumptions about the required arrival or departure dates.

⠀

PokerNews PowerStack

RunGood and PokerNews have renewed the PokerNews PowerStack Leaderboard for the 2026 fall season.

The official Fall PowerStack announcement states that eligible PowerStack results will award leaderboard points. At the end of the fall race, the top 10 players are scheduled to receive:

Entry into the $300 Dream Seat Invitational
A $300 travel stipend
A two-night stay at Thunder Valley Casino Resort

The Dream Seat Invitational will be part of the November 27–December 3 Dream Factory Festival at Thunder Valley.

What has not yet been confirmed is the Jacksonville PowerStack itself. Until the bestbet schedule is published, the Jacksonville PowerStack buy-in, guarantee, flight schedule, starting stack, re-entry rules and Day 2 structure remain Not Published.

⠀

Other Ring Events to Watch

bestbet Jacksonville has a long history of hosting Hold'em and non-Hold'em tournament formats, but that history is not enough to establish the 2026 Golden Expedition lineup.

No Jacksonville-specific Seniors, Ladies, PLO, Big O, mixed-game, bounty, Flip & Go or High Roller ring event has been officially published for this stop as of August 16.

That distinction matters because previous RunGood festivals at bestbet have included specialized formats, while other Golden Expedition stops have their own schedules. Players interested in Omaha, mixed games or bounty events should wait for the Jacksonville schedule instead of assuming those tournaments will return.

Once the official schedule is released, this section should be updated with the strongest supporting ring events rather than reproducing the complete festival schedule.

⠀

Satellites and Ways to Qualify

Official Jacksonville Golden Expedition satellites are Not Published.

RunGood has not yet released buy-ins, seat ratios, guarantees, starting stacks, re-entry terms or direct-entry procedures for any bestbet Jacksonville Main Event or major-event satellite.

Players planning to qualify rather than buy in directly should check both the RunGood event calendar and bestbet Jacksonville tournament page as the festival approaches.

⠀

Golden Expedition Promotions

The Jacksonville stop takes place within a RunGood season that includes several broader competitive programs.

⠀

RunGood Player of the Year

The 2026/27 RunGood Player of the Year race runs from June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027.

According to the official 2026/27 RunGood Player of the Year rules, points are calculated using the Global Poker Index ranking system across eligible RunGood-powered events.

Events that are not open to the public, including examples such as Seniors, Ladies and Tag Team tournaments, are excluded from POY points.

The top five players are scheduled to receive:

A custom Player of the Year ring
A $600 Hendon Mob Mid-Major Championship seat
An invitation to the Hall of Rings celebration at Thunder Valley Casino Resort
Hotel accommodation for the Hall of Rings
A $500 travel stipend

The player finishing first in the standings is also recognized through a traveling RunGood Player of the Year banner.

Accordingly, eligible open events at bestbet Jacksonville can affect the 2026/27 standings. RunGood's current published rules do not specify a separate Jacksonville Main Event weighting in the material available as of August 16.

⠀

Dream Seat Invitational and Dream Factory

RunGood's 2026 Dream Seat Invitational announcement places the Dream Factory Festival at Thunder Valley Casino Resort in Lincoln, California, from November 27 through December 3.

The $300 Dream Seat Invitational is scheduled for December 2 at 11:00 AM and is restricted to eligible RunGood ring winners. RunGood also lists a $300 Winner's Circle tournament for ring winners on December 1.

The Dream Seat Invitational winner is scheduled to earn a seat in the PGT Championship at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas in January 2027.

Because Jacksonville's ring-event schedule has not yet been released, the exact number of opportunities to earn a RunGood ring at this stop remains Not Published.

⠀

PokerNews PowerStack Leaderboard

The separate fall PowerStack leaderboard gives players another path into the Dream Seat Invitational. The top 10 on that leaderboard will receive Dream Seat Invitational entry, a $300 travel stipend and a two-night Thunder Valley hotel stay.

Jacksonville-specific PowerStack tournament details remain Not Published.

⠀

Tournament Structures and Registration

The Golden Expedition Jacksonville structure sheets are Not Published.

That means players should not yet rely on unconfirmed information about:

Starting stacks
Blind levels
Level lengths
Late registration
Re-entry
Day 2 qualification
Bounty activation
Satellite seat allocation

bestbet's official poker page provides access to tournament information, promotions and active-table information, while RunGood is the primary source for RGPS structures and tour-specific rules.

Tournament players should confirm registration and cashier procedures with bestbet before the series if those details are not included when the official schedule is released.

⠀

bestbet Jacksonville Poker Room

The Golden Expedition is being held at bestbet Jacksonville at 201 Monument Road, Jacksonville, Florida 32225.

bestbet currently lists Jacksonville poker-room hours as:

Monday through Friday: 10:00 AM–4:00 AM
Saturday: 24 hours
Sunday: 24 hours

The minimum age to enter and play in a bestbet poker room is 18.

The official bestbet Jacksonville poker page also lists tableside dining, Starbucks coffee and tableside massage among the room's current amenities. Players can use bestbet's active-table system to check which cash games are running.

bestbet Jacksonville should be viewed as a major cardroom and gaming facility rather than a Las Vegas-style casino resort. The property includes poker, other permitted card games and simulcast wagering, but does not operate an attached resort hotel.

⠀

bestbet Jacksonville vs. Orange Park and St. Augustine

Travelers should pay close attention to the location.

The RGPS Golden Expedition stop is at:

bestbet Jacksonville 201 Monument Road Jacksonville, Florida 32225

It is not being held at bestbet Orange Park, located at 455 Park Avenue in Orange Park, and it is not being held at bestbet St. Augustine, located at 800 Marketplace Drive in St. Augustine.

This distinction is particularly important when searching for lodging, promotions, poker games or directions because bestbet's website covers all three Northeast Florida properties.

⠀

Live Streaming at bestbet

bestbet operates its own poker streaming operation, bestbetLIVE, and the official bestbet live-stream page publishes its streaming calendar.

As of August 16, no Golden Expedition Jacksonville livestream has been announced on that calendar.

Accordingly, a bestbetLIVE broadcast of the RGPS Main Event or any supporting final table is Not Published and should not be assumed.

PokerNews live reporting and bestbetLIVE streaming are separate forms of coverage. RunGood has announced PokerNews Main Event reporting for its fall season, while any cards-up bestbet livestream would require a separate bestbet announcement.

⠀

Where to Stay

bestbet Jacksonville does not have an attached hotel, so players traveling for several days will need off-site lodging.

The official bestbet poker page currently lists several Jacksonville-area recommended accommodations. Among them are:

Hampton Inn Jacksonville East Regency Square at 1021 Hospitality Lane
Courtyard Jacksonville I-295/East Beltway at 9815 Lantern Street
Hampton Inn & Suites Jacksonville-Deerwood Park
One Ocean Resort & Spa
Holiday Inn Express at 53 Jefferson Road

bestbet currently publishes poker rates of $99 plus tax for the Hampton Inn Jacksonville East Regency Square and $119 plus tax for the Courtyard Jacksonville I-295/East Beltway. Players should verify rates and availability directly before booking because lodging offers can change.

No separate RGPS Golden Expedition room block, RunGood promo code or tournament shuttle has been published for the October stop.

The Jacksonville accommodations should not be confused with the separate hotels bestbet lists for its St. Augustine property.

⠀

Dining and Amenities

bestbet Jacksonville offers food and beverage service inside the poker facility.

The official bestbet food and drink page currently lists sandwiches, salads, daily specials, tableside food and beverage service, a full-service bar and a Jacksonville sushi operation.

Jax Sushi is currently listed as open daily from noon to 10:00 PM. The Jacksonville poker menu is listed from 10:00 AM to 1:45 AM Sunday through Thursday and 24 hours Friday and Saturday.

bestbet also advertises Starbucks products at the Jacksonville poker room, which can be useful for players arriving for early tournament sessions or playing into the night.

These options allow tournament players to eat without leaving the facility, although anyone with a short break should still consider service time before ordering.

⠀

Parking and Getting There

bestbet Jacksonville is located at 201 Monument Road in Jacksonville.

The bestbet website does not currently publish Golden Expedition-specific parking instructions, overflow arrangements, valet information or tournament parking charges. Those details should therefore be treated as Not Published rather than assumed.

Players flying into Northeast Florida can use Jacksonville International Airport, the region's principal commercial airport. Rideshare and rental-car options can be considered depending on lodging and travel plans.

Because the venue is on Monument Road rather than at a downtown hotel or resort complex, players staying elsewhere in Jacksonville should plan their daily transportation separately.
