Level 26 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

On the heels of winning a multiway pot, Terrance Reid raised to 210,000 in early position which saw action fold around to Scott Hess who called.

The flop came out 10?J?4? and Hess checked over to Reid who continued for 200,000.

Hess called in all different denomination chips, prompting Reid to smile and say "Rainbow call."

On the K? turn, Hess checked once more to Reid who bet 560,000, which had Hess release his hand quickly.

Reid now sits as the largest stack of the nine remaining.
