Poker's elite showed up to Event #42 with under two hours left for registration.

Alongside some of poker's familiar faces, 2013 Main Event Champion Ryan Riess doubled up versus Tolga Demirel.

As the action was picked up, on a flop of 1082 Demirel bet 2,500 from the button and face a check-raise from Riess to 7,500 who glared at Demirel who called.

On the turn of the Q Riess checked and put 50,000 in front of him enough to cover Riess who snap-called.

Ryan Riess: AQ86All in
Tolga Demirel: 9543

Riess's nut flush had Demirel dominated with the river 6 changing nothing.

Alongside Riess here are some up-to-date chip counts from the Paris Las Vegas floor.
