PokerNews PowerStack Returns for the 2026 Fall RunGood Poker Series Season
PowerStack Leaderboard returns with the Top 10 earning a trip to Thunder Valley Casino Resort and entry into the exclusive Dream Seat Invitational
TULSA, Okla. The PokerNews PowerStack is back.
Following its successful introduction to the RunGood Poker Series, the PokerNews PowerStack will return for the 2026 Fall RunGood Poker Series season, once again giving players an opportunity to turn their performances throughout the season into a trip to Thunder Valley Casino Resort and a shot at representing RunGood on one of poker's biggest stages.
The PokerNews PowerStack Leaderboard will also return, tracking player performances across eligible PowerStack events throughout the Fall season.
When the final points are tallied, the Top 10 players on the leaderboard will each earn a package to Thunder Valley Casino Resort and entry into the exclusive $300 Dream Seat Invitational.
The Top 10 Are Headed to Thunder Valley
Each Top 10 PokerNews PowerStack leaderboard package will include:
- Entry into the $300 Dream Seat Invitational
- $300 travel stipend
- Two-night hotel stay at Thunder Valley Casino Resort
The Dream Seat Invitational will take place during the RunGood Dream Factory Festival, November 27 through December 3, 2026, bringing RunGood champions and qualifiers together at Thunder Valley Casino Resort.
The $300 event will feature an exclusive field competing for something that cannot be won at any ordinary tour stop: a seat in the PGT Championship at the PokerGO Studio in January 2027.
The Dream Seat Invitational winner will earn the opportunity to represent RunGood and step into the PGT arena alongside some of the best players in the game.
Stack Points. Chase the Top 10. Earn the Dream Seat.
The returning leaderboard adds a season-long race to every PokerNews PowerStack event.
Every eligible result represents another opportunity to accumulate points, move up the standings, and finish the Fall season among the Top 10.
For those who make it, the reward is more than recognition on a leaderboard. It is a trip to Thunder Valley and an opportunity to turn a PowerStack run into a seat at the PGT Championship.
The path is simple:
Play the PokerNews PowerStack.
Climb the leaderboard.
Finish in the Top 10.
Chase the Dream Seat.
Additional details regarding the 2026 Fall PokerNews PowerStack schedule, leaderboard scoring, standings, and Dream Seat Invitational will be announced throughout the season.
