Allis Over-Bet Gets Shot Down

Level 41 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

Mike Allis limped from the small blind and Ryan Riess checked from the big blind.

Both players checked the {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{10-Spades} board until the river when Allis made a huge over-bet of 10,000,000.

Riess asked "Why so much?" After another moment of contemplation Riess made the call. Allis had [9s5] so was only playing the board. Riess had {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for aces and tens.

Basel Chaura Eliminated in 3rd Place ($250,157)

Level 41 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Basel Chaura
Basel Chaura

Ryan Riess opened for 4,500,000 from the button and Basel Chaura shoved his remaining 18,100,000. Riess asked for a count and then made the call.

Basel Chaura: {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Ryan Riess: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

The {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop was very favorable to Riess, maintaining his lead and giving him a gunshot straight draw as well.

However, the {q-Clubs} turn gave Chaura top pair and the lead, though it also gave Riess the club flush draw.

When the {j-Clubs} hit the river, neither player initially realized that Riess had made the flush but it was enough to eliminate Chaura in third place, earning him a quarter of a million dollars.

The Final Three

In the chip lead is poker veteran Mike Allis, who is no stranger to the World Series of Poker having 36 cashes at WSOP events earning $272,744 in the process. He is from Post Falls, Idaho, and has already guaranteed his largest-ever cash in a WSOP tournament. Previously, his best outing was in the Millionaire Maker in 2013 where he finished 35th for $32,882.

This is the second WSOP final table appearance for Allis with the other being the $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em event in 2012 where he finished sixth for $31,452. With more than 60 percent of the chips in play, Allis will be the favorite to leave Bally's today with the bracelet.

Ryan Riess is a man who needs little introduction. The 2013 Main Event champion has established himself as an ever-present on the poker circuit, but is still seeking the elusive second bracelet. Riess has earned a colossal $10,520,313 in a ten year span.

Riess made a final table earlier this series finishing third in Event #53: $5,000 Mixed No-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha winning $302,980. He'll be hoping to make it two steps further today.

Little is known of Basel Chaura, who has lifetime recorded earnings of only $86,789 and who will be at least quadrupling that figure today. Aside from two cashes in the 2021 WSOP, Chaura's earnings have come from playing at Foxwoods Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut, and Borgata in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

As always, PokerNews will provide live coverage of this tournament as well as the final stages of the Main Event.
