Another Clash Between Main Event Champions

Level 14 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Last week, Joe Cada won his third ever WSOP bracelet and had to eliminate Joe McKeehen in third place during the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'Em SHOOTOUT.

Today, he's facing Ryan Riess and has taken the lead over him.

Cada called and Riess opted to check. They both checked through the whole {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{5-Spades} board. Cada tabled {q-Diamonds}{3-Spades} to get Riess to muck his own hand.

A few hands later, there was about 21,000 in the middle and the flop read {2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, Cada bet 11,000 and Riess called. The turn brought them the {10-Hearts}, Cada put Riess all-in and Riess quickly folded.
