Main Event Day 1b
Level 9: 4,000/8,000 (8,000)
Entries: 72/138
This author had the pleasure of sharing a flight to Nottingham with Gatis Reigass. Reigass is a long-time poker player and is also a popular poker streamer in the Latvian market at Optibet under the appropriate name "OptibetPoker".
Reigass has had a rough go early on this festival but this could all be irrelevant if he manages a huge cash in the Main Event. So far, so good, for Reigass.
Reigass called a three-bet jam for a little more than ten big blinds with K Q and was up against Annika Winell, who held A J .
The Q 5 7 flop was a good one for Reigass as his queen found a friend to put him in the lead. Winell was unable to get back into the hand with the 10 turn and 7 river completing the board.
Gatis "OptibetPoker" Reigass - 650,000
Annika Winell - 0
