Rafael Reis

The entry count moved over 300 entries after the break and one of them belongs to a former champion. When this tournament set the record for the biggest field in Florida poker history, Rafael Reis was the last player standing out of 5,018 entries to collect more than $150,000.

Since that time, Reis continued to roll with dozens and dozens of cashes and a handful of final tables. That payday was the biggest of his career but he topped earlier this year with a $200K Borgata win. All of that leaves Reis on the verge of topping $1,000,000 earned in his poker career.
