Event 5: Rafael Reis Looks to Parlay a Cash

$565 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
$200,000 Guaranteed | Structure
Level 7: 300/600 with a 600 Ante
Flight B Entries: 98 (Total Entries: 148)

The first break’s a wrap and players are back in their seats with the clock showing 98 registered. Today’s turnout uptick over yesterday’s flight wasn’t unexpected as yesterday saw 65 potential entries tied up in Day 2 of the $250. One of those potential entries was Rafael Reis who went on to record a small cash in the $250 before taking the rest of the evening off.

Rafael Reis

Well rested and with a fresh cash, Reis is among the field here in Friday’s Flight B. The Florida regular has enjoyed loads of success, most notably winning the largest tournament in Florida sate history — the 2016 Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open kickoff event in Hollywood. That $360 buy-in tournament drew 5,018 entries smashing the $1,000,000 guarantee. For the historic win, Reis earned $155,642 and etched his name firmly in the poker history books.

A deep run here wouldn’t break any records, but it does have the potential to move Reis closer to the $1,000,000 mark in career earnings.
