The Roughrider Poker Tour kicks off today at Jackpot Junction, and the first of three Main Event flights is on the clock at noon. Registration opens at 9:30 AM upstairs in the Grand Eagle Ballroom. Stop at the Rewards Club for your players card first if you don't have one, and claim $20 in free play.
Today's Schedule
10am - Satellite: $160 buy-in, 10,000 starting chips, 20 minute levels. Unlimited re-entry with late registration open through the first 5 levels (approximately 11:50am). Top 20% will get $640 seats.
Noon - Flight 1A: $640 buy-in, 60,000 starting stack, 40 minute levels. Unlimited re-entry with late registration open for 12 levels (approximately 9pm). We will play down to 15% of the field rounded up and all players who make day two will be in the money.
Day 2 will start Sunday morning at 11am. Play will start at the earliest ending level of the 3 flights. If players bag more than one stack, they will be paid $1,500 for their smaller bag, and it will be removed from play.
The Main Event includes a custom RPT bracelet from Westley's Jewelry for the champion. The top 10 finishers also get $1,000 Golden Tickets to the RPT Golden Nugget Main Event in Las Vegas next June.
