The last RGPS Joplin stop took place in April 2024. It featured a $600 Main Event that drew 620 runners for a prize pool of $316,200.

Andre Allen climbed back from a single big blind to win $60,972 and his second RGPS Main Event ring as he defeated runner-up William Fisher.

The final table also included Jackson Turrentine (3rd - $27,549) and poker vlogger Ashley Frank, who suffered a second-nut-flush-versus-nut-flush cooler that led to her going out in fourth place for $20,568.
