The live-streamed feature table looks to be an exciting one, with 2019 WSOP Player of the Year Robert Campbell and High Roller runner up just two of the players in action.
PokerNews caught the tail end of a hand between Vincent Xu and Liam Doyle with 2,000 already in the pot with the community cards spread 
. Xu had checked the action over to Doyle on the river, who had led out for 500, only to see Xu check-raise to 2,000.
Doyle mulled it over and threw in the extras, but could only muck when Xu rolled over 
for a full house.
