We wanted to give everyone an update on this year’s Run It Once lounge during the WSOP. The lounge is open to all our Elite members and RIO Pros from Friday, June 27th - Sunday, July 13th. We have a few things tentatively planned such as Live Q&A with some of the Pro’s and also panel discussions.

We plan to have snacks and beverages such as coffee, tea and beer available all day as well as breakfast during the opening days of the Main Event.  With the World Cup going on during this time, we will have plenty of TVs showing these matches along with other sporting events, and some WSOP final table streams (for those who don’t consider poker a sporting event).

That said, the lounge is for you guys, and we want to know what you want out of it.  At the start of last summer’s lounge opening, the word wasn’t out and it wasn’t until much later in the series that it started to fill up.

Gauging interest levels and getting an idea for the number of our Elite members who will be in Vegas will help us plan accordingly and make sure we have enough of everything we need.  So please jump in and get this discussion going!

I’m also excited to announce that we’ve been working extremely hard on some Run It Once gear, and it’s turning out great (in our biased opinions).  We know a lot of you have expressed interest, and like everything else, it’s taken some time because we want to get it right.  We’re still working around the clock to get everything perfected by summer.

Things won’t be for sale until the lounge opens on the 27th, but if you’re in Vegas or following the tournaments, you’ll get to preview what’s on the way for you as we deck out Phil and the other RIO pros.
