. Stammen checked, Ahmadi bet 110,000, and Stammen called.

The turn was the {A-Hearts}

Bahador Ahmadi open-raised on the button to 72,000, and Torrey Reily reraised all in from the small blind for 312,000 total. Angel Guillen folded, then Ahmadi thought a bit before making the call.

Ahmadi wasn't pleased when he saw Reily's hand -- {A-Hearts}

. That's because Guillen had {A-Diamonds}

.

The board came {9-Diamonds}

, and Reily doubled up.

On the next hand, Reily came over the top of a Keven Stammen raise and took another pot. Reily is now up to 775,000.

Torrey Reily had dropped to 294,000 -- less than ten big blinds -- when he just now pushed all in from the cutoff. That was the first time in 40 hands he'd voluntarily entered a pot.

Angel Guillen looked him over for a while from the button before folding. Shawn Glines folded quickly from the small blind. And Keven Stammen smiled for a moment, then gave up his big blind.

The Life of Reily

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Has lately been one of folding and watching others, for the most part.

Looking back through our notes, we're seeing Torrey Reily played one hand soon after the ten-handed final table began, but hasn't voluntarily put a chip in the middle since we've gone to nine-handed.

Reily is still hanging on with 353,000.
