It checked to Reis who bet 3,100. The cutoff called while the other player mucked and they were heads up to the turn.

Reis checked, the cutoff bet 7,000 and Reis called.

With the board completed, Reis checked a second time. The cutoff jammed for 22,200. Reis cut out calling chips and took a couple minutes to weigh his options. In the end, he found a fold and surrendered the pot.

Despite the tough lay down, Reis smiled for the camera afterward, and good for reason. He still sits on 84,000 chips midway through Flight C.
