Last night at the final table, Robert Mantin bowed out in ninth place after running ace-nine into Richard Perea’s ace-ten. Mantin failed to get lucky and had to settle for ninth place and $4,142 in prize money.
Perea also hit the rail in eighth place for $5,518 before Reyes won a monster against Ryan Van Sanford. Both players flopped a pair of aces, but the latter’s kicker was good. That is until Reyes paired his on the river to make two pair and vault over 11 million in chips.
