Run It Up Reno IX Returns to the Peppermill Next Month
Poker pro Jason Sommerville and his team will be making their return to the Peppermill Resort and Spa in Reno, Nevada for the ninth edition of Run It Up Reno. Scheduled to take place between October 11 and October 21, the event is set to feature a decent number of exciting and action-packed events as well as huge guaranteed prizes.
Confirmed to be attending the incredibly popular event series are members of the Run It Poker team including Andrew Neeme, Arlie Shaban, Ricky “RatedGTO” Guan, and Kevin Martin. Also joining them will be renowned Twitch streamer-cum-rapper and comedian Andy Milonakis and popular vlogger Johnnie “Johnnievibes” Moreno.
Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) Event in the Schedule
One of the biggest highlights of the Run It Poker Reno IX is the Charity Series of Poker’s (CSOP) “Above the Fold” Charity Event. This event will be the 25th one in the history of CSOP and it is meant to benefit the Folded Flag Foundation. It is one of the biggest poker charity events of the year.
It will feature a $235 buy-in as well as $!00 rebuys and $100 add-ons. Also, it is scheduled to run the first day of the Run It Poker Reno (October 11) at the Naples Ballroom at Peppermill Reno. For the attendees, there will be free turkey burgers and frees drinks between 6.00 and 7.00 p.m. PT – the tournament event will then kick after that.
The winner of the CSOP event is set to walk away with $5,000 in cash but that is not all that players can look forward to. There are final table and bounty prizes including in the schedule and to help raise more funds for the charity, there will also be a silent auction.
What the CSOP Is All About
The idea of having the Charity of Series of Poker included in the Run It Poker Reno IX schedule was conceived about a year ago. This came after Matt Stout, the founder of the CSOP traveled from Las Vegas to Reno where he met with Jason Sommerville. Not only did Stout find the opportunity to strike a collaboration deal during the visit but he also went on to top a field of 687 runners to win a whopping $70,000 at the RUI Reno VII Main Event.
“It’s really exciting for us to finally be a part of the Run It Up series,” Jason Somerville has built a great series with an incredible atmosphere that makes it a perfect partner for CSOP events. I look forward to working together on fun events for great causes,” said CSOP Founder Matt Stout.
As mentioned earlier, the upcoming CSOP event will be raising funds for the Folded Flag Foundation. This organization is on a mission to provide educational scholarships as well as support grants to the spouses and children of US military and government personnel who may have lost their lives in the line of duty.
