Baldwin Turn Shove Gets Through
Level 4
: 75/150, 0 ante
Eric Baldwin's opponent check-called a 500 bet from him on a 
flop. He then checked to Baldwin on the 
turn, only to see Baldwin move all-in for 2,400. After much deliberation, Baldwin's opponent open-folded 
and Baldwin won a nice pot as the players head for a break.

Riess Run Bad
Level 4
: 75/150, 0 ante
When the banner commemorating Ryan Riess’ Main Event win last year was unveiled earlier this week, a slight oversight led to his name being misspelled as "Reiss". He saw the humorous side and it was soon corrected, playing in the very room where it hangs today.
It seems that he may be getting used to this kind of mix up, the same misspelling on his All-American Dave's lunch bag. Somebody on the wind-up, perhaps?
It that wasn't bad enough we just saw Riess get it all in preflop with 
against his opponent's 
.
The flop fell 
and his opponent cried, "Yes, let me get lucky!" He remained lucky as the turn and river saw Riess in trouble three levels into the tournament.
