Riess Doubles Through Koon

Level 19 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ryan Riess raised from the cutoff for 350,000, leaving himself with just 10,000 behind. Action folded to the button where Jason Koon just called.

The flop came {8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Riess used the entirety of his 30 seconds before checking. Koon checked behind quickly.

On the {7-Hearts} turn, Riess repeated the process of waiting 30 seconds then checking. Koon checked behind quickly.

The river was the {Q-Diamonds} and Riess once again waited 30 seconds then checked. Koon checked behind and mucked when Riess showed {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds} for ace-king high.

After the hand, some players toyed with the idea of possibly playing hand for hand to avoid tanking for pay jumps.
