Riss Takes a Brutal Beat

Level 2 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

An uproar was heard from one of the side tables and Alain Riss gasped a "no no no", even banging with his hands at the wall. Rushing by to the table, the board showed {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{A-Spades} and the stack of Rifat Gegic was counted. According to players at the table, Gegic had jammed preflop with {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} after a raising war with the Frenchman, who quickly called with pocket kings and saw the nightmare ace appear on the river.

Gegic doubled for 647,500 and bumped his stack up to 1.3 million.

One hand later, there was a raise to 12,000 and Riss called. Gegic announced "I am all in" and the initial raiser folded. "Now you can call and get chips back," Gegic said to Riss, who folded and stormed off the table to take a break. While Gegic scored that big double, he is not the chip leader by any means - Viktor Langlitz brought in almost two million and has since bumped that up further.
