$360 Ultimate Re-Entry No Limit Hold’em
Level 6: 200/400 with a 50 ante
Flight A Entries: 415

We’re watching the number climb on the tournament information board and it crossed over 400 entries to keep it on a faster pace than last year’s flight. That one drew 500 entries so we have a good chance to top it.

Rafael Reis knows a little something about conquering huge-field events. Last year’s Ultimate Re-Entry set the record for biggest tournament field in Florida poker history with 4,075 entries and that record only held for ten months. It was surpassed by the opening event of the 2016 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open” in November.

That tournament drew 5,018 entries to create a prize pool over $1.5 million for a $360 buy-in tournament and putting up another big number. After six long days of grinding, Reis took home his second RRPO title in a five-way deal that saw him pocket more than $150,000. Another deep run and Reis will move over $500,000 in career earnings.
