RunGood Poker Series is heading back to MGM National Harbor in Maryland for RGPS Golden Expedition Maryland, a seven-day stop with 12 ring events and a $1,300 Main Event that carries a $250,000 guarantee.

MGM Resorts’ newsroom said the series returns to the poker room this September, and PokerNews said it will be on site to live report the Main Event. The venue is being billed as a poker hot spot for East Coast grinders and as one of the biggest poker rooms east of the Mississippi.

The schedule opens on Sept. 21 with a $300 Tag Team Ring Event that costs $150 per player. Other early stops include a $400 Seniors NLH Ring Event with a $25,000 guarantee, a $400 PokerNews PowerStack Ring Event with a $50,000 guarantee across two starting flights, and $500 Five Card PLO and Big O events for mixed-game players.

As covered in the spring, RunGood was already at MGM National Harbor for RGPS Passport Maryland, where the $1,300 Main Event drew 307 runners and Arash Asadabadi won $73,037. That stop produced a $349,980 prize pool and featured RunGood ambassador Julie Cornelius at the final table. This September’s Main Event begins on Sept. 24 with the first of three starting flights and plays to a winner on Sept. 27.

PokerStars’ Sunday Million 20th Anniversary ended with Belarusian player AHTOCb taking the title after a 55,444-entry field was whittled down to one. The event generated a $5,544,400 prize pool, and the champion’s payday was reported as $255,336 by PokerNews and $255,337 by Spadepoker.

As reported on Sept. 7, Niklas “Lena900” Astedt had already reached the final day sitting sixth in chips. His run finished in eighth place, good for $25,538 total, with Spadepoker splitting that into $10,835 from the regular prize pool and $14,703 in bounties.

The final phase took 1,763 players down to 49, and those survivors locked in $924 from the regular prize pool before any bounty money. Finland’s RageReaperf came back with the chip lead, while AHTOCb sat second. Eight of the final 49 had qualified through satellites, Power Path, or the Ticket Machine, and one player had made it in for just $1.50.

The satellite angle produced some of the event’s best value stories. Paul “jim5432” Romain qualified through a $1.50 Power Path Step 2 tournament and finished 14th for $2,039 including bounties. “Aleshek” turned an $11 qualifier into fifth place and $55,198, with PokerNews reporting a 501,700% ROI, while “makassip” also came in via an $11 route and finished sixth for $31,578.

The final table formed when Armenia’s “Karat221” busted in 10th place. Ukraine’s “grid 92” was the first finalist out for $12,999, and RageReaperf then finished seventh for $32,712. PokerNews also noted that all nine finalists were guaranteed a five-figure haul once bounties were included.

The last stretch tightened around the biggest names left. “234241234214432” finished fourth for $93,793, and Hungary’s Marton “komarcus” Kokai, described as a SCOOP champion, collected the first six-figure payout of the tournament at $144,167 or $144,168, depending on the source, before heads-up began.

The title match was AHTOCb against Charlie “JIZOINT” Combes. Both had already secured at least $176,300 from the regular prize pool before the final two bounties were played for, but the knockout money swung the finish, with AHTOCb taking $79,027 in bounties against Combes’ $9,953.

Combes finished second with $186,255, which PokerNews described as the largest online score of his career. AHTOCb’s win completed the anniversary run.

Triton Jeju II’s $30,000 NLH 8-Handed reached its final table on Wednesday, and Daniel Dvoress was still the player setting the pace. He began the day with the chip lead and was in position to try to run the table wire-to-wire in South Korea.

According to PokerNews, the final table also featured Stephen Chidwick, Ben Tollerene and Xuan Liu. The event drew 135 entries and built a $4.05 million prize pool, with $942,000 reserved for the winner.

As covered in our earlier Jeju updates, Triton’s stop has already produced a string of deep runs and big-money spots. Liu brought her own piece of history into the mix, since she beat Dvoress heads-up in Montenegro last year for $860,000 and became Triton’s first-ever female champion.

Dvoress had been in command from early on. He bagged the Day 1 lead with 2,590,000 chips when 18 players were still alive, and the field had already locked up a minimum of $51,000 at that stage. The Wednesday schedule also included the start of the $40,000 NLH 7-Handed Mystery Bounty event at 3 p.m. local time.

PokerStars has reduced the buy-ins for two events at PokerStars Open Prague. The Open Main Event is now €1,100, down from €1,650, and the Open High Roller has been cut to €2,200 from €2,700. The Open Cup stays at €825.

According to Poker.org, PokerStars said the cuts are a direct response to player feedback and reflect its aim of making the tour more accessible to as many players as possible. The company said the new pricing starts with Prague and standardizes the buy-ins across EPT-connected PokerStars Open stops and standalone festivals such as Aix-en-Provence. PokerStars expects the lower prices to remain in place through 2027.

The Prague stop runs alongside EPT Prague, which runs December 2 to 13. The Open Main Event is set for December 2 to 7, the Cup for December 5 to 6, and the High Roller for December 6 to 8.

PokerStars also said the change will not affect any past or future PokerStars Live League rankings. The Live League uses Low, Medium, and High buy-in categories for its year-long leaderboard, and the ranking system is staying in place even as the Prague event pricing comes down.

ACR Poker rolled out its FT Replayer as a free browser-based tool for replaying completed final tables with every player’s hole cards revealed. It works without an account or a software download, and it lets users step through a final table hand by hand instead of just seeing a highlights reel.

As covered on Sept. 2, ACR had already launched the browser-based replayer; the latest release ties it to OSS XL. The company’s September festival runs from Sept. 6 to Sept. 29 and packs 336 events with more than $50 million in guarantees.

Card Player reported that the archive already contains more than 4,000 final tables. ACR says every completed tournament final table is added automatically after the event ends, with no manual upload or selection, and the tool is open to people who do not play on ACR.

The site is pitching the feature as a study aid as much as a spectator feature. According to the company, final-table play is where stacks change quickly, pay jumps matter more, and the table gets shorter, so seeing every raise, call and fold in order gives more context than a normal result page or hand history.

Card Player and USPoker both described the replayer as a way to study bet sizing, preflop aggression, all-in ranges, and bluffing patterns across an entire final table. ACR’s own launch note says the revealed hole cards add the missing information behind decisions that would otherwise stay hidden.
