The RunGood Poker Series Passport Joplin $600 Main Event has been a resounding success. It blew past the $100,000 guarantee after 752 total entries helped create a prize pool of $379,760 as 87 players will return for Day 2 at the Downstream Casino Resort.
The final flight of the main event proved to be the biggest of them all, hosting a total of 246 entries with 30 advancing to Day 2 from the final starting flight.
Cody Hughey (1,004,000) led all players on Day 1d and will be the only player to enter Day 2 with a seven-figure stack. Hughey, a Tulsa native and former manager at Hard Rock Tulsa, has been a longtime friend of the RunGood Poker Series and will certainly have a contingency rooting for his success as he enters the room as the stack to beat on the final day. Hughey is looking to break through and secure his first-ever RGPS title.
Robert Little (579,000) and three-time RGPS ring winner Jesse Jones (508,000) rounded out the top three finishers from Day 1d.
Top Ten Chip Counts
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cody Hughey | United States | 1,004,000 |
| 2 | Tony Courtney | United States | 864,000 |
| 3 | Benjamin Rohrs | United States | 662,000 |
| 4 | Plez Bradley | United States | 614,000 |

| 8 | Jimmy Litton | United States | 500,000 |
| 9 | Johan Cervantes | United States | 482,000 |
| 10 | Kenneth Gregory | United States | 473,000 |
Tony Courtney (864,000) will enter the room as the second-largest stack after his successful flight on Day 1b launched him to the top of the leaderboard. Courtney is chasing his first RGPS title, and will enter Sunday with a chance to change that.
Benjamin Rohrs (662,000) will enter third in chips after he led Day 1c on Saturday. Rohrs will aim to secure his first RGPS ring as he enters the fray on Sunday.
Day 1a chip leader Nicholas Rigby has been collecting rings in a hurry as of late on the RunGood Poker Series circuit. Rigby added four rings to his collection in just the last month, including one earlier this week when he took down the RGPS Passport Joplin One Day event.
In total, Rigby will enter Day 2 with seven rings to his resume and is in the hunt to win his second main event at RunGood. If there is such a thing as momentum in poker, then Rigby will have plenty of it when he sits down at the table on the final day.
Rigby is one of several players to enter Day 2 looking to add a second or more RGPS title as the field is loaded with RGPS ring winners looking to add more hardware to their collection.
Todd Tucker (375,000), David Burke (224,000), Jimmy Litton (500,000), Byron Abernathy (228,000), Eldon Penn (347,000), Bobby Randolph (176,000), Trent Wilson (137,00), Kenny Baggett (282,000), Rodney Spriggs (265,000), Duster Ellis (40,000), Hanunyah Fish (388,000), Thanh Bui (167,000), Kenneth Gregory (473,000), Keith Murrell (79,000), Tyler Barnes (414,000), Cody Reed (234,000), Bobby Sanuoudane (71,000), and Matthew Riffel (304,000) are all looking to add another RGPS ring to their collection. Gregory and Spriggs are looking to join the five-time winners club with a win on Sunday.
Day 2 is slated to begin at 11 a.m. local time. Play will continue until a new champion is crowned. Play will begin with the blinds at 3,000/5,000 as Day 1a finished at the lowest blind level across the four starting flights.
