Rafael Reis

In a seemingly innocent hand, Kyle Sturgis and Rafael Reis were heads-up with board out and reading AsJh5c3d6h.

Sturgis put his 1,900,000 stack in the middle and Reis had him at risk.

Sturgis tabled Ac5s for aces and fives and Reis was left to lament the cooler with his smaller two pair with Ah3c.

Reis was left very short and eliminated a few hands later, denied his chance to go back-to-back as our Champion.

Kyle Sturgis – 6,800,000 (68 bb)
Rafael Reis – Eliminated in 3rd Place ($59,470)
