Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 3,000 ante

Ryan Riess opened to 5,000 from the lojack and was three-bet to 20,000 by Joshua Faris in the small blind. Riess called.

Riess went deep into the tank and eventually let his hand go.

"Twenty dollars to show," Faris proposed to Riess, who agreed.

Faris tabled .

"Nice hand," Riess replied. "I had a nine."

Riess then reached into his wallet and handed Faris a ten-dollar bill, a five-dollar bill, and a one-dollar bill.

"It's all I have," Riess said as he handed it to Faris.
