Ryan Riess is Rising

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Patrick Stacey moved his remaining 250,000 chips in the middle and was quickly called by Ryan Riess.

Riess: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Stacey: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Riess was well behind with ace-king and it looked like Stacey was a lock to double through him.

The flop was {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, giving Riess trip kings and leaving Stacey with one out to save his tournament life. Stacey was clearly devastated with his head in his hands as he awaited the turn, which was the {10-Clubs}.

The river was the {9-Diamonds} and Stacey was headed home, sending the pot Riess' way.
