Ryan Riess, who won the 2013 World Series of Poker Main Event, has been eliminated from the main event this year.
According to his tablemates, he got the last of his chips in preflop with pocket queens in a classic flip against his opponent's ace-king. The runout was favorable to Riess' opponent and he was sent to the rail ten years after winning this same event.
Doyun Ku opened to 10,000 in early position and it folded to the big blind who called.
On the Q♣6♦4♦ flop, the big blind check-called Ku for 15,000. The turn was the K♣ and after another check, Ku sent 45,000 into the pot. It was enough for his opponent who let it go.
Play has been paused due to a medical emergency in Horseshoe.
With the situation handled, players have again taken their seats and cards are in the air.
Andy Frankenberger moved all in from the button. He was called by the small blind, who had fewer chips and therefore was the one at risk.
Small Blind: A♠10♠
Andy Frankenberger: A♣J♣
Frankenberger had the lead, but immediately fell behind on the 10♦8♣Q♠ flop. The 9♦ turn gave him a straight, which upgraded into Broadway on the K♣ river. Frankenberger added his eliminated opponent's chips to his stack.
Alex Foxen raised to 9,000 from the hijack before a player on the button reraised to 30,000. William Black, in the small blind, then tanked for several minutes until the clock was called.
Black then called while Foxen got out of the way to leave him and the button heads-up to the 4♦4♥3♠ flop. Black then instantly shoved all in for 94,000.
The button then tanked for a few minutes before releasing his hand as Black dragged in the pot.
"I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours," Black said. His opponent said he folded ace-queen, while Black admitted to having jacks.
Peter Neff raised 9,000 in the hijack before Robert Mizrachi jammed in the small blind. The big blind got out of the way and Neff asked for a count. After hearing it was 42,500, he made the call.
Robert Mizrachi: 7♣7♥
Peter Neff: A♦8♦
Two years prior, Mizrachi had eliminated Neff in the Main Event, so Neff was looking to even it out as they went to the races.
The K♣9♣4♦ flop was looking promising for Mizrachi, as his sevens were still in the lead. The J♦ turn gave Neff some extra outs as he picked up a flush draw and the 6♦ river completed the flush as Mizrachi was sent to the rail.
