Riess Eliminates One

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Ryan Riess had a bet of 40,000 in front of him on the button when we got to his table, with the board reading {9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. Riess' cutoff opponent was deciding whether to call the overbet — the pot was about 25,000 — for his tournament life, since he had about 35,000. Eventually, he did call with {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}, but Riess had him beat with {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}. The river was a {7-Clubs}, and the former WSOP Main Event champ dragged the pot.
