Action in Joplin will kick off on April 9 with a $250 Seniors Ring event in the morning and a $200 Ambassador Bounty Ring Event in the evening, which should be sure to bring out some familiar RunGood faces.

Other highlights of the Joplin stop include a $300 PLO Ring Event, a $300 One Day NLH Ring Event and $150 Flip and Go events that will run on demand.
The stop will culminate with the $600 Main Event, which offers players four separate starting flights for a chance to win some of the $100,000 guaranteed prize pool.
There will be also plenty of satellite opportunities, including an Ultimate Satellite where one in 10 will win $100 cash and several tournament entries.
The RGPS Joplin series will close out with a $400 Black Chip Bounty Ring Event on April 14, the same day that the Main Event will play to a winner.
