The RunGood Poker Series has returned to Downstream Casino in Joplin, Missouri, where eight RGPS rings will be awarded over six days of tournament action. The highlight of the series is the $800 Main Event, which features a $200,000 guaranteed prize pool and includes four starting flights spread across three days. The first flight kicks off on Thursday, April 10, at 6:00 p.m. local time, followed by another on Friday, April 11. Two additional flights will take place on Saturday, April 12, leading into the final day of action on Sunday, April 13.
The last time the RGPS stopped in Joplin, in April 2024, Andre Allen pulled off an incredible comeback—climbing from just one big blind with three tables remaining to outlast a field of 620 entrants and take home the top prize of $60,972.

Players will start the event with 30,000 chips, playing 30-minute levels during Day 1 flights before levels increase to 40 minutes on Day 2. Blinds will begin at 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante. There will be a 15-minute break after every two hours of play.
The Main Event features unlimited reentries, with late registration open until the start of Level 9. Play will continue until only 12.5% of the field remains, at which point players will reach the money, bag their chips, and return for Day 2.
Participants may enter multiple Day 1 flights, but if a player qualifies for Day 2 more than once, only their largest stack will carry forward. Any lower chip stacks will be removed at the start of Day 2 and receive the minimum Day 2 payout. Blinds on Day 2 will begin at the lowest level reached during the Day 1 flights.

Jarryd Hawkins was first to act in the hijack and raised to 500, which was called by the player in the cutoff and small blind. Then Dorianne May in the big blind put in a three-bet to 2,500, which Hawkins called, the cutoff folded, and the small blind called as well.
After the flop came 3♦6♥2♠ the small blind checked to May who bet out 3,000, which Hawkins called and the small blind folded.
The turn brought the K♣ and Hawkins called a bet of 5,000 from May.
Both players checked after the 6♦ on the river, and May tabled A♠K♦ to take the pot with her two pair, kings and sixes, as Hawkins tossed his cards in the muck.
