Yu Sends Riess to the Exit
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ryan Riess raised to 55,000 from under the gun, only leaving himself 5,000 behind. A player in late position called before action came to Ben Yu who decided on a three-bet jam for around 100,000. Riess tossed in his last 5,000 denomination chip and the late position player got out of the way, sending Riess and Yu to a runout with the 2013 WSOP Main Event champion at risk.
Ryan Riess: A♣9♠
Ben Yu: A♠K♠
The board ran out A♦10♣J♣6♠K♣, locking the pot up for Yu and sending Riess out the door with no Day 2 appearance.
