The Saturday Series players are now on a 15-minute color up break. We will pick back up on all of the live tournament action when play resumes.
We mentioned in the previous post that Rafael Reis was chipping up and he just scooped a massive pot. Reis is now sitting behind a massive stack of 2,500,000 and he has moved into the chip lead with 22 players remaining.
Reis already holds one Borgata Poker title and is looking to add a second to his growing poker resume. A win here tonight would also earn Reis another poker milestone as the $55,100 first prize would bring his career earnings over the $1,000,000 mark.
