Ryan Riess open-shoved for 15,500 under the gun. Naoya Kihara was the only interested party, and he called in the hijack.

Riess remained pat at the draw, and Kihara followed suit after pondering for a short while. Riess tabled 9x7x6x5x2x, comfortably besting the 10x9x5x4x3x of Kihara to double up.
