**Ronnie Day is adding another big title to his resume.** PokerNews reports that the WSOP bracelet winner took down The Reserve Club Fifth Anniversary event in Toledo, Ohio for $180,854 after entering via a maximum late registration and navigating what was described as a “very swingy” final table.
The storyline that jumped out was the entry point. Day reportedly jumped into a Friday flight at the latest possible moment, then carried 765,000 chips forward into Day 2. It is the kind of spot tournament regulars dream about: show up late, avoid early landmines, and still find a stack worth playing for a serious top prize.

The late stages featured multiple eliminations that underscored how fast tournament momentum can swing. PokerNews highlighted a hand where William Givens held 7-6 suited against Dustin Bowling’s ace-queen, flopping a draw and then completing a flush on the turn to send Bowling out in ninth. Later, Day eliminated Spencer Wright in fifth in a king-high spot where his king-ten outkicked Wright’s king-nine when a ten appeared on board.
Day ultimately beat Danny Moreland heads-up, with Moreland finishing runner-up for $114,317. While the full field size and prize pool were not emphasized in the tweet recap, the headline result is clear: a max-late entry turned into a six-figure win. For players tracking live mid-stakes series, it is another reminder that timing, structure, and stamina can matter as much as the cards.
