Takahiro Omori has a lot of questions to answer after bringing a huge bag to scales on Day 2. Omori more than doubled his Day 1 weight of 10-7 today when he caught 23-3. Now he's sitting comfortably in the Top 5. Photo: Phillip Lawless — Takahiro Omori has a lot of questions to answer after bringing a huge bag to scales on Day 2.
