RunGood Sets Mississippi Poker Championship at Tunica
The Horseshoe Casino stop runs Sept. 15-20 with nine trophy events, a $50,000 Main Event and live coverage plans.
RunGood Poker Series is bringing its Mississippi Poker Championship stop to Horseshoe Casino Tunica from Sept. 15-20. Listed on RunGood’s schedule page as the Mississippi State Championships, the six-day series features nine trophy events, more than $100,000 in combined guarantees, and a four-flight Main Event with a $50,000 guarantee.
RunGood had a Passport Season stop at Tunica in March, and the posted schedule now shows how the week unfolds. Sept. 15 opens with a $250 Seniors Championship with a $10,000 guarantee, a $65 satellite into the PLO Championship, and a $150 Tag Team NLHE Championship with a $5,000 guarantee.
The next day brings a $250 PLO Championship with a $10,000 guarantee, a $65 satellite into the Monster Stack Championship, and a $150 Big Bounty Championship with a $5,000 guarantee. Sept. 17 adds a $250 Monster Stack Championship with a $10,000 guarantee, a $95 satellite into the Mississippi State NLHE Championship, and a $250 6-Max NLHE Championship with a $10,000 guarantee.
The Main Event starts on Sept. 18 with Flight A and Flight B of the $400 Mississippi State NLHE Championship, each carrying a $50,000 guarantee. Sept. 19 adds Flights C and D, plus a $250 Ladies Championship with a $5,000 guarantee, before Sept. 20 wraps with the Day 2 restart and a $250 Turbo NLHE Championship with a $10,000 guarantee.
PokerNews will provide live reporting coverage of the Main Event beginning Sept. 18 at Horseshoe Casino Tunica. PokerTube says it will also follow the full series with daily recaps and hand reports through the crowning of a champion at Horseshoe Tunica.
This is RunGood’s third scheduled visit to Horseshoe Tunica in 2026. PokerTube says the series already had a Passport Season stop there in March, and it says another Golden Expedition series is scheduled for November, keeping the casino in regular rotation for the tour.
The Tunica Main Event has a recent benchmark too. When RunGood last ran its main event there in fall 2025, Carl Masters beat a 645-entry field to win $60,251 after defeating Rafael Lopez heads-up. Results from the upcoming stop will also feed into the RunGood Player of the Year standings for the 2026/27 season, and the Mississippi State Championship winner will earn a seat at the 2026 Dream Seat Invitational later this year.
