Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Action was followed from the J♦2♦K♦ flop when Lucas Reeves was in the big blind and raised to 120,000. Under the gun was the only other player in the hand and made the call.

The turn came 8♠ and Reeves bet 245,000, getting another call from under the gun.

The J♠ completed the board and both players checked down with Reeves showing 10♦9♦, having flopped a flush and under the gun mucked.

In the next hand Reeves took down another pot after calling a raise from his opponent on a Q♦6♠2♣ flop, checking down the 5♣ turn and then raising the 5♥ river, getting his opponent to fold.

Reeves moved up towards the top of the chip counts, just a few hands before the end of the night.
