Ryan Riess

Ryan Riess checked to Eli Elezra on a flop of {6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, and he tossed out a bet of 800. A third player called, as did Riess, and the turn was the {3-Spades}. Riess check-called another 1,125 from Elezra, the third player folded, and the {9-Spades} completed the board.

The 2013 WSOP Main Event champion checked a third time, Elezra fired out a final bullet worth 2,075, and Riess called.

Elezra showed {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a straight, and Riess mucked.
