Boston Rob Mariano Poker

The RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) is currently at JACK Cleveland Casino in Ohio for the very first time. The RGPS Cleveland features a $800 buy-in RGPS Cleveland Main Event with a $250,000 guarantee, a tournament that will be live reported here on PokerNews.

The RGPS Cleveland stop, which runs Sept. 22-Oct. 2, also features over $500,000 in guarantees and a handful of side events that will see the winners taking home Championship Rings, which were recently reintroduced by RGPS.

On Tuesday night, one of the world��s biggest reality TV stars took down the $200 Guest Ambassador Bounty Ring Event. ��Boston�� Rob Mariano is arguably the biggest star to come out of the hit CBS television show Survivor (he��s appeared on six seasons) and has also appeared on Amazing Race, The Price is Right, and most recently Season 2 of Secret Celebrity Renovation.

Surviving a Poker Tournament

The tournament attracted a field of 206 runners including a slew of ��celebrity�� bounties who competed for a $32,960 prize pool. Participants could knock out a bounty and draw a mystery envelope with prizes from $50 gift certificates up to $2,000 cash!

Along with Boston Rob, some of the other bounties included RGPS Ambassador Justin Gardenhire, 2022 WSOP $10K PLO bracelet winner Sean Troha, and Katie Kopp, the first-ever winner of a gold bracelet at the WSOP��s new home at Paris/Bally��s.

By outwitting, outplaying, and outlasting the field, Boston Rob kept his own bounty, received $8,615 in prize money, and claimed an RGPS Contenders ring.

It��s not the first time Boston Rob has ventured into the poker world. On the contrary, he��s been a familiar face for a while. Last year, he participated in the RGPS All-Stars ProAM in Las Vegas, and in 2015 he bubbled the Run It Up (RIU) Reno Main Event final table. A year later, he actually won the second event at RIU Reno.
