Others that found bags included Ben Ludlow (322,000), RGPS St. Kopp also found a bag and will be looking to match Derrick Plumage’s feat of winning two RGPS main events in a row. With this stack today, he looks to better the finish he had back then with a massive score. Laughlin final tabled this event in 2020, finishing in 6th place for $7,990. It wasn’t until a triple up he had through defending champion Joshua Kopp (279,000), and knocking out Brian Winter shortly afterwards where he defined himself as one of the flight chip leaders. Laughlin spent much of the early chunk of the tournament on the short stack.
Leading the way is Mark Laughlin who ended their day with 513,000.
