Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Brian Roelke raised to 85,000 from under the gun and was called by Marc Goldman in the hijack. Ryan Riess then announced a squeeze to 380,000 from the small blind — leaving himself just 5,000 behind. Roelke moved all in for 1,800,000 and Goldman let his hand go after asking for a count. Riess tossed his last chip into the middle and hands were revealed.
Ryan Riess: A♥Q♣
Brian Roelke: A♣K♣
Riess found himself dominated and in even worse shape after the K♦4♦Q♦ flop paired both players' kickers.
Riess was looking to hit trips, but the 5♥4♣ runout kept Roelke ahead with his pair of kings to send the 2013 champ to the rail.
