Rough Start for Riess

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Ryan Riess bet 1,000 in a pot of 1,650 and was facing a raise from Erik Friberg in the cutoff, to 4,000. The community read {5-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, and Riess threw in what looked like a frustration call. Friberg rolled over {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} for the nut pair, and the 2013 WSOP Main Event champ winged his cards into the muck.
