Ryan Riess was seen talking to Alex Foxen, so we asked him if he had won or lost his match against Anton Morgenstern.

With a sinister smile, Riess told us he had gotten it in with {K-}{10-} against {J-}{4-} on {K-}{J-}{4-}. Riess was behind, though we're not sure how much Morgenstern had left at that point.

Morgenstern was the favorite to double up, but the {Q-} on the turn in combination with the {9-} on the river made for a different ending to the hand. Riess backdoored into a straight, Morgenstern said his goodbyes.
