Jose Reyes (Boyton Beach, FL)
The final two minutes are ticking off the clock for Level 7, with blinds going up to 300/600/75 in the last level of the night (Level 8). Just moments ago, Jose Reyes would open the action with a raise to 1,500, with two players calling behind. “Novermber Niner” Will Tonking was in the small blind, and he’d shove for 16,075, with Reyes and one other player making the call.
The action would be checked through on the flop of {10d} {qd} {8d}, with Reyes placing out a 6,000 bet (side pot) on the {4s} turn. The bet wasn’t enough to deter the third player in the hand, who came along to see the {2c} on the river. Reyes led once again for 12,000, causing his opponent to fold, showing {ks} {10s} for a pair of tens. Tonking stood from the table and flashed his {7h} {7s}, collecting his things before he walked away from the table.
Reyes is looking to parlay his one cash from this series (Event #15 – 20th Place $4,697) into a WPT deep run, which would best his largest career score, even if it was a min cash.
