Rafael Reis (Orlando, FL via Brazil) says it’s been a slow and steady climb to a chip leading 130k. Although his table mates are quick to point out a key hand.

“He called a 5-bet shove with KQ,” says one impressed player. Reis was way ahead of K6 to pick up 40k and a healthy lead.

Reis is fresh off his chop at Hollywood where he took home his first career cash for $91,000. He got the lion’s share of the prize pool, chopping with five others including 2006 WSOP Main Event Champion Jamie Gold.

Today Reis is 35k ahead of the next closest stack which belongs to Richard Higgins (Tampa, FL) at 95k.

Registration close with 112 entries, the largest flight to date, and sets the three flight total at 304 entries.
