Riess Scores A Big Double
Level 17
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
We almost saw aces get cracked twice within a matter of 30 seconds, but fortunately for Ryan Riess "The Beast", his hand was able to hold up. Action started with Bruce Carter raising it up from under the gun. It folded all the way around to Riess in the small blind, and he put in a three bet. Carter moved all in, and Riess insta snap called.
Riess: 
Carter: 
Short of a nine coming, the flop was about as bad as Riess could have seen: 
. Carter could now catch a queen, nine, or seven to win the hand, but he was able to dodge it, as the board completed 
and 
.
After Riess finished stacking his chips, we saw that he had 135,000.
