Reis Turns the Nuts and Gets Paid
Level 9
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Rafael Reis opened to 3,200 early and got called by Seat 4 in the middle and Seat 9 (bb).
The flop of 
was checked around, but the 
on the turn prompted a bet of 6,000 from Reis. Seat 4 raised to 16,000 and Seat 9 opted out.
Reis kicked it on up to 39,000, Seat 4 jammed, and Reis called all-in or 75,200 total. His opponent tabled 
for the jack-high straight, but Reis had him beat with 
for the queen-high straight and the current nuts.
The 
on the river was a complete brick, given that neither player had a club flush draw, and Reis took the pot, doubling up to 161,500.
