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.
