A clean-shaven Rafael Reis has moved up into contention for the biggest stack in the room as one of the few reaching 200,000 so far. He’s neck and neck with Thila Narayanan for the lead but they still have a few more levels to go.

Reis was a final table member of this event last year. He was involved with an eight-way deal that saw him pick up more than $87,000 for an official fifth place finish. Reis also owns a trophy from his win in the $570 buy-in tournament during the Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open” in 2014.
