Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

Ryan Riess

The 2013 WSOP Main Event champion Ryan Riess was short stacked and shoved his remaining 3,500 into the middle from under the gun. Connor Berkowitz one seat over re-jammed for 9,700 and was called by the player to his left, who had both Riess and Berkowitz covered. The remaining players at the table got out of the way.

Ryan Riess: {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Connor Berkowitz: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Early Position Player: {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

"Do you want the chicken power?" asked Frank Stepuchin, who was also at the table, of Riess. The offer was politely declined prior to the {k-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop. The {2-Hearts} turn kept the pocket sevens ahead but Berkowtiz nailed the {10-Clubs} river, giving him an almost full triple-up and knocking out Riess.
