After 15 hours of play on Day 2, they were still unable to determine a champion for the opening event of the 2019 RRPO. There were still 13 players remaining when action was halted at 3 am and they return this afternoon at 2 pm to play it out.
Pedro Catinchi is a great story coming back to the bonus day. He was down to a single 5K chip late in the tournament but spun it up to return as the frontrunner. John Two-Bears sits not far behind in second place and the two of them have a significant lead over the rest of the field.
They will combine for the final table when nine players remain and they will begin working their way down to a champion who is set to take home more than a quarter of a million dollars.
Cards go back in the air at 2 pm and we will have all the action.
