Riess Cracks the Aces of Paredes
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ryan Riess was all-in preflop for his last 160,000 with David Paredes trying to send him home.
Ryan Riess: A♣10♦8♣7♦ 
David Paredes: A♠A♥Q♥5♦
Riess needed to come from behind and crack the aces of Paredes if he was to have a chance of making Day 3.
The flop came down J♣Q♣8♠, giving Riess a lot of outs to win. The 8♦ was one of those outs as Riess improved to trip eights to take the lead. A clean 4♦ arrived on the river, and Riess doubled up through Paredes.
