It's the final day of the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) Joplin $600 Main Event and there are 75 players returning for a chance at the title. Leading the way are the chip leaders from the four starting flights, Brant Jolley (Day 1a - 741,000), Charles Deatherage (Day 1b - 723,000) and David Greufe (Day 1c - 680,000) and Rachel Sawyer (Day 1d - 675,000).
They may have big stacks, but they face tough competition as serial ring collector Daniel Lowery, RunGood Player of the Year contender Brian Winter and last year's runner-up Blair Hinkle are all still in contention. Others in the Day 2 field include Forrest Kollar, Mark Lafata, Derek Baxter, Sarah McCain and content creator Ashley "PokerFace Ash" Frank.

Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Mark Johnson was down to crumbs and open-jammed on the button. Daniel Hughes had a bigger stack in the big blind and called.
Mark Johnson: Q♠5♥ 
Daniel Hughes: 10♣8♥
It wasn't much of a fight as Hughes flopped two pair on the board of 8♦10♥3♠ before the board finished out 2♦9♠ to mark Johnson's elimination.
"When the reporter comes to the table, you have to give them a show!" Hughes joked about his preflop call.
