Tana Karn has built more than a poker tour; he’s built a culture. As the CEO and creative force behind the RunGood Poker Series and RunGood Gear, Karn has turned a simple slogan into a movement that blends community, competition, and connection.
What began as an apparel line in 2012 has grown into one of the most beloved mid-major tours in poker, known for its hospitality, heart, and captivating storytelling.
Beyond the felt, Karn’s ventures, 8131 Media and Juniper Apps Studio, reflect the same creative vision: to make people feel seen and inspired.
In this candid Inside the Poker Circles piece, he opens up about what drives him, how RunGood continues to evolve, and why, at its core, poker is still about people, not just the money.
