Riess Doles Out a Double Then Doubles Himself

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

A preflop raising war saw Mark Bartrom shove all in against 2013 WSOP champ Ryan Riess, who looked him up.

Bartrom: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Riess: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

It was a bad spot for Riess as his pocket pair was dominated, and he paid for it after the board ran out a clean {5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{q-Spades}{4-Spades}.

In the very next hand, Jan Suchanek opened for 525 from the cutoff and Riess responded by three-betting all in for 1,800 from the small blind. The big blind folded, and Suchanek made the call.

Suchanek: {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Riess: {q-Spades}{9-Spades}

Riess got it in good, and he improved to two pair on the {7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop. However, Suchanek did pick up an open-ended straight draw. The {3-Clubs} turn didn't complete it, and neither did the {3-Diamonds} river. With that, Riess was shipped the double.
