The RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) is heading to Downstream Casino Resort in Joplin, Missouri later this month for RGPS Contenders Joplin, which will culminate with the $600 buy-in Main Event taking place May 20-22.

RGPS Joplin will kick off on May 17 and wrap up on May 22, with the Midwest stop including everything from a Seniors Event to a Pot-Limit Omaha tournament.

$100K Guaranteed in Main Event

The RGPS Joplin Main Event will feature three starting flights, the first of which will take place on May 20, while the next two will take place the next day in the afternoon and evening.

The Main Event has a guaranteed prize pool of $100,000, though it could surpass that. For reference, the last RGPS Joplin Main Event in March 2020 attracted 383 runners to generate $191,500 in prize money.

Day 2 will take place on May 22 at 11 a.m. local time and will play down to a winner, who will take home the lion's share of the prize pool and the RGPS trophy. PokerNews will be there every step of the way in the Main Event to offer live updates.

Missouri's Matt Riffel took down the 2020 RGPS Main Event at Downstream Casino after a three-way deal that left him with $35,333. The others who got in on the deal were Phillip Teel and Jared Ward, who each pocketed $27,000.
