Flashback: Daniel Lowery Dominates RGPS Joplin Main Event
Earlier this month at Downstream Casino, RunGood Poker Series ambassador Daniel Lowery emerged victorious in the RGPS Main Event, defeating Justin Dreiling heads-up to claim the top prize of $74,398 and the coveted RGPS ring.
With over $3.7 million in career poker earnings and 18 WSOP Circuit rings to his name, Lowery is no stranger to the winner’s circle, but conquering a 496-entry field in the Main Event made this win feel a little more special.
Although Lowery already held several RGPS rings, this marked his first Main Event victory—something he reflected on after the win. “It feels good. I’ve been close a lot of times in these RunGood Main Events, so to finally win and have that as an accolade is cool,” he said. He also touched on what it meant to earn the title as a series ambassador: “Any win feels good, but being able to represent our brand, have a great time here all weekend, and finish strong—it just feels really good.”
