Joey Weissman raised from the button and Paul Domb called from the big blind.

The flop was 3c3s8h and Domb check-called a bet from Weissman.

The turn was the 4h and Domb check-called another bet from Weissman.

The river was the 4s, Domb checked, Weissman bet 175,000 and Domb tanked for about three minutes before asking somebody at the table to call the clock on him.

Craig Chait obliged and did so. As the clock ticked down, Domb check-raised all in for about 246,000 total and Weissman called after a few moments.

Domb showed 6h6c for sixes and fours, but Weissman tabled Kd3d for threes full of kings to win the pot and eliminate Domb in seventh place.

Joey Weissman – 1,330,000 (133 bb)

There was a bit of a delayed start to Day 2 because of the huge turnout this morning. Another 21 entries bought in since Day 1 came to an end to more than double the $200,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Tournament staff needed to redraw seats at additional tables and they are now in action.

The $5,000 buy-in RRPO tournament had a great turnout for Event 20 with 67 entries pushing the $200,000 guaranteed prize pool well over $300,000. And with registration open until the start of Day 2 at 1 pm, that number should go up a little.

Jaime Lewin and Paul Domb are the two big stacks coming back but they have a lot of tough competition to get through if they want the title.

Once play gets underway and registration closes, we will publish the official prize pool and payout numbers.
