Riess Doubles Up
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
A player under the gun opened to 4,000 and 2013 WSOP Main Event champion Ryan Riess defended from the big blind.
On a flop of 2♣J♦2♦, the under-the-gun player continued for 3,500, but Riess check-raised all-in for 22,000. His neighbor went into the tank, and eventually made the call.
Ryan Riess: Q♦10♦ 
Under-the-gun player: K♠Q♥
Riess had a flush draw, but no diamonds were needed as he hit the 9♥ turn to double up after the 8♠ river.
