Riess Cracks Aces to Double Up
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ryan Riess opened to 94,000 from the hijack, and he was called by Frank Funaro in the cutoff, who flipped over aces as he thought that Riess was all in.
They discovered a flop of J♣7♦Q♦. "Value," Riess joked when he put his 2,000 remaining chips in front of him. Funaro called.
Ryan Riess: 7♥7♣ 
Frank Funaro: A♦A♣
Riess wasn't kidding as he flopped a set. And despite the 10♦ turn which gave a nut flush draw to Funaro, Riess doubled up after the 8♥ river.
