Isle Open Event 7 (Flight 1E): A Flop For Everyone, But Reis Likes It The Best

2017 Isle Open | Event #7
$360 No Limit Hold'em | $200,000 GTD
Level 7 (Blinds 250/500/75)
Total Flight 1E Entries: 173


Rafael Reis (Curitiba, Brazil) flopped the best of three players at Table 4, and watched as all of the chips got in, for the largest pot of the day (to this point).

Table 4 was approached just as players were tabling their hands in a three way all-in, on a flop of K 10 Q.  The pot was close to 100,000, with Rafael Reis having both of his opponents covered, and holding the best hand (5 7).  Rafael's flush was up against K♣ 10♠ (two pair) and A♠ J♠ (straight), needing to fade the turn and river, in order to win the largest pot of the afternoon.  One of Reis's friends walked over to sweat along, and watched the 5 fell on the turn, followed by the A on the river.

Rafael's seven-high flush would stay the best hand, and he would collect the pot, which brought his total to 160,000.  That stack has a healthy lead over the rest in the field, but we are still a long way from the end of the flight.  Registration is still open, and will stay open until the end of Level 12 (and the break that follows).

Rafael Reis - 160,000 (320bb)
