Riess Railed in Last Level of Night

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Ryan Riess - Eliminated
Ryan Riess - Eliminated

Ryan Riess looked down to find {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades} in the hole, and with a Byron Kaverman open to 2,200 already made, the defending World Series of Poker Main Event champion three-bet jammed for 19,000 from the hijack.

Action folded around to Tony Dunst in the small blind, and he made the call to put Riess at risk. Kaverman got out of the way and Riess found himself in a race against Dunst's {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}.

The flop was a safe one for Riess, coming {q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, but the turn bit him when the {a-Diamonds} fell to the table. The river card came {4-Spades} to complete the board and with that Riess headed for the exits.
