"Can I buy a piece of you in the main?"
After already securing a huge stack just before the break, Manuel Reyes was in the heat of the action again.
The cards were already on their backs, with a player already eliminated from the table after Reyes was seen scooping the pot. The board read A♣7♥3♦7♠8♥.
The table recalled the action as Joseph Sergio had opened from under the gun and Reyes called from the hijack. Danny Burgess moved all in from the small blind.
Joseph Sergio: QxQx
Manuel Reyes: A♦8♣
Danny Burgess: K♣K♥
Reyes took the win, pairing his ace for two pair, which cracked both the pocket kings and queens.
The players were discussing the hand after the action had ended as Sergio had only just taken his seat and Reyes was discussing his third-place cash of this year's $300 Gladiator event for $219,410.
Another player remarked on his luck this year at the WSOP and asked, "Can I buy a piece of you in the main?"
