Cooler Puts an End to Riess' Day

Things haven't been going well for the 2013 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Ryan Riess thus far at the 2014 WSOP APAC. Riess played all three flights of Event #1 $1,100 Accumulator, and despite running his stack up to 10,000 in each, he busted each of those flights in Level 6.

Riess was back in action today, but his luck didn't get any better in Event #2; in fact, he was one of the first eliminations of the day. We missed the hand, but Riess was kind enough to inform us that he ran kings into aces — poker's primary cooler.

"I'll get them," Riess said optimistically about the eight remaining gold bracelet events. "I'll be back tomorrow."
