Reilly Regains the Chip Lead
Level 26
: 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
The last hand before the dinner break saw Eric Hicks open to 100,000, and all of his opponents came along.
Hicks bet 250,000 on the 
flop, and only Mark Reilly called. Hicks, who's been on fire since the start of the final table, barreled the 
turn for another 400,000. Reilly called again. The river 
completed a backdoor flush, and both players checked.
Hicks announced his aces, turning up his 
. Reilly, however, had that beat with 
for turned trips.
Reilly seized a sizeable pot, vaulting just ahead of Hicks.
