Jared Reinstein, a semi-professional poker player from Tallahassee, has won the $1,100 buy-in Card Player Poker Tour bestbet Jacksonville main event for $75,714.

Reinstein outlasted a starting field of 378 entries, which created a prize pool of $366,660. The event easily surpassed the $200,000 guarantee. Last year’s event had a $280,330 prize pool from 289 entrants. Amazingly, Reinstein finished eighth in last year’s event.

Jeremy Reed, of Lexington, SC, was able to survive with a short stack for a good portion of the final table to finish second to Reinstein.

There was a final-table deal. When play was three-handed, Reinstein, Reed and Alexis Courtois agreed to give Reinstein first place money ($75,714), while Reed and Courtois would split second place money ($53,018). Both Reed and Courtois were severely short-stacked with just a handful of big blinds, while Reinstein had a monster stack.

Courtois was eliminated in short order after the agreement, and then Reed was felted in second a couple of hands later. On the final hand, Reed was all in with K-Q off suit against Reinstein’s A-7. The board ran out A-6-2-9-5, giving Jared the pot and the win.

Reinstein played extremely solid poker at the final table. He was on the right side of a coin flip with A-K against fifth-place finisher Bob Woodward’s pocket sevens. It was for about half of the 9,450,000 chips in play. Reinstein flopped a king and it held to give him a massive chip lead.

Reinstein entered the final table sixth out of nine. Going into day 2, he was 66th in chips out of 81, so he did a good job surviving throughout the four-day event.

The tournament began on Friday and featured two starting days.

Here’s a look at the final table results:

1. Jared Reinstein: $75,71
2. Jeremy Reed: $53,018
3. Alexis Courtois: $34,086
4. Albert Destrade: $22,456
5. Bob Woodward: $17,292
6. Joseph Dichiaro: $14,321
7. Danny Wilson: $12,001
8. Tracy Bass: $9,779
9. Nghia Le: $7,571

Alexis was left crippled after losing with QJ against Jeremy’s pocket tens. The board ran out Q-10-4-7-7 to give Jeremy a full house.

The very next hand Alexis held A10 and ran into Jeremy’s KK. Against Jeremy flopped a set, as the board ran out K-8-6-3-7.

The Frenchman collected a payout of $34,086 for his efforts.

It was then heads-up between Jared and Jeremy.

Bob was down to his last 225,000 when he woke up with pocket aces under the gun. He moved his two big blind stack into the middle and it was folded around to Jared and Jeremy in the blinds. Both called.

The board ran out AQ10K10 to give Bob a full house. Both his opponents mucked inferior hands and Bob appeared to be back in the game.

However, on the very next hand Bob was in the big blind and called a 100,000 chip raise from Jared on the button. Jeremy called from the small blind as well.

The flop fell AK5, and Jeremy and Bob checked. Jared bet 225,000, Jeremy folded, and Bob called.

The turn brought the 9. Bob checked, and Jared bet 300,000 to put him all in. Bob took a few moments before calling for his tournament life.

He tabled K4, which was a pair and a flush draw. Jared exposed K10, which had Bob’s hand out-kicked.

The river was the 6, which was no good for Bob. He was eliminated in fifth place for a payday of $17,292.

Albert Destrade opened to 125,000 and found three callers. The flop fell 1097.

Alexis Courtois checked, Destrade fired 175,000, and Jeremy Reed moved all in for 850,000 total from the button. Bob Woodward folded from the small blind, Courtois folded, and Destrade called with KQ.

Reed tabled J8 for a flopped straight, but Destrade had plenty of outs with a straight flush draw.

The 7 on the turn was good for Reed.

The 3 on the river was also not one of Destrade’s outs.

Jeremy Reed opened and it was on Bob Woodward with the big stack. He shoved, and it was folded back to Reed. He put his 580,000 into the middle with K-J. He was slightly behind Woodward’s A-Q.

The flop fell K-5-3 rainbow, giving Reed top pair. The turn 4 and river 6 completed the runout and Reed was up to more than 1,000,000.
