RunGood Poker Series will bring its Golden Expedition to Jamul Casino in San Diego from Nov. 17-22, with 12 ring events led by a $600 Main Event guaranteeing $150,000. The six-day festival is the tour’s second Jamul stop of 2026, following a February Passport Season series that used the same Main Event buy-in, guarantee and three-flight format.
PokerNews detailed a Main Event schedule that begins with a 6 p.m. flight on Friday, Nov. 20. Two further entry flights follow at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Saturday, before surviving players return at noon on Nov. 22 to play the finale. PokerNews will provide live reporting from that final day.
Players can try to qualify before the series rather than pay the full Main Event buy-in. Satellite week starts Nov. 10, when $85 qualifiers guarantee two seats apiece over the first three days. The $145 satellites on Nov. 13 and 14 each guarantee five seats, and more qualifiers are scheduled during the festival itself.
The opening day includes a $200 Ambassador Bounty Ring Event with a $10,000 guarantee. Special guests in the event will carry prize envelopes, with awards ranging from $1,000 cash to RunGood apparel store credit.
A $300 PokerNews PowerStack follows on Wednesday and Thursday with two starting flights and a $25,000 guarantee. Thursday also brings the $300 Tag Team Double Ring Event, which awards two rings. The remaining schedule includes a $200 Double Green Chip Bounty, a $300 Pot-Limit Omaha tournament and a $200 Monster Stack on the final day.
The February Jamul series also featured the $300 PowerStack with a $25,000 guarantee. Jamul’s Main Event has a recent repeat winner: Maksim Tatarintsev won in both November 2024 and 2025, collecting $38,890 for the latter victory.
Jamul is part of RunGood’s 2026 Fall Season, branded Golden Expedition. RunGood says the season uses a new championship-ring design and includes a Player of the Year race powered by The Hendon Mob and the Global Poker Index. The Golden Expedition concludes with the Dream Factory Festival at Thunder Valley Casino Resort in Lincoln, California, from Nov. 27 through Dec. 3, including two invitationals reserved for 2026 ring winners.
