Rafael Reis

In addition to Alan Phillips, Rafael Reis is also coming off a long Sunday. Reis, who won the Rock ‘n’ Roll Poker Open’s record-breaking event last month, made Day 2 of the $570 and took part in about 11 hours of play that ended in an eight-way chop. In the end, Reis negotiated for a third-place finish that earned him $28,360.

Reis has been on site throughout the entire Winter Poker Open series. His journey for a guitar trophy continues today in the $250 big stack.

Barely 12 hours later, Phillips is back at the Seminole Hard Rock and in search of another victory.
