Rafael Reis just won one of the biggest pots of the day thus far. PokerNews got to the table as cards were on their backs on a flop, but he informed us of the pre-flop action.
Apparently, after the under the gun player limped for 2,500, Reis made it 6,000. The small blind then flat called and the under the gun limper then made it 22,000. Reis called and so did the small blind.
To a flop of , the small blind jammed all-in for 48,000. The under the gun player then re-shoved for the rest of his stack and Reis called, putting both other players at risk.

Reis was ahead and in great shape. The turn and river kept him that way and he knocked two players out whilst ascending to the top of the chip counts.
Shaun Deeb raised to 6,000 from the button and the player in the big blind three-bet to 25,000. Deeb came along and the flop came .
The big blind led for 20,000 and Deeb quickly called. The turn brought the and the big blind checked. The five-time WSOP bracelet winner moved all in for his last 32,000 and the big blind quickly gave it up.
After a raise in early position at 5,000, Angel Ruiz just called with , so did the player in the cut-off.
Then action became crazy on a flop : first player made a continuation bet to 5,000, Ruiz get an open-ended and an overpair and called, before the last player announced all-in for 35,000.
The first player went also all in for 65,000 and Ruiz made the call, covering both players.
The first player showed for an overpair meanwhile the player on the button had for two pairs.
If the turn is a blank, this is not the same story with the river which gave, to the player from Spain, a straight.
He knocked down two players and now has a decent stack.
Preflop action landed on Adam Croffut in the hijack. He moved all in with 54,000 behind. Action folded back around to the player to his immediate right, who called. The players tabled their hands.
