Riess Out
"I would appreciate a fold," said Ryan Riess with a grin. "Or you can call... it's up to you."
His words were directed toward John Chapman, who was contemplating those two options across the table. The board read 
. With about 55,000 in the middle, Riess was all in for about 30,000 and Chapman — who didn't have a lot more than that — was trying to decide was to do.
Finally Chapman called, and Riess showed his 
for two pair. Chapman had 
for both a flush draw and an open-ended straight draw, and Riess immediately acknowledged that the call was worth making. The river then brought the 
to complete a straight for Chapman, and Riess shook Chapman's hand before departing.
