[user269680]

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

We walked up to a completed hand and a board reading , the dealer counting out 148,000.

Matthew Damadeo has in front of him, but he was the one shipping chips to Dean Bui, whose had come from behind for the flush.

Bui is now the chip leader and Damadeo needs to find some magic to stay alive.

Dean Bui	312,000 296,600	296,600
Matthew Damadeo	26,000 -91,600	-91,600

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Reigning WSOP Main Event champion Ryan Riess is still in the mix here in Event #12 and recently stopped by the media desk to charge his phone. We asked him how his first year as world champion has been and he replied, "It's been awesome, I couldn't have asked for more."

He may not have asked for more but he could be on for his second bracelet here in this event as he has 47,000 chips and looks comfortable at his table.
