Level 16 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ryan Riess

Action folded around to the blinds and Ralph Wong moved all in with a covering stack on Ryan Riess. Riess had 260,000 and he dropped into the tank. This is not the first time that Wong had done this to Riess. in the first instance, Riess had 280,000 and he ended up folding. But this time, Riess tanked through a time extension and decided to call.

Ryan Riess: {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Ralph Wong: {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

The flop came down {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and that put Riess in a hole looking to catch up. He couldn't dig out on the {K-Spades} turn or the {J-Spades} river and with that he was eliminated from the tournament, leaving the field with 16 players.
