John Smith and Ryan Riess

Hand #49: John Smith raised to 60,000 from the button and Ryan Riess defended his big blind.

The flop came down {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, and Riess check-called 75,000 from Smith to see the {6-Diamonds} turn. Riess check-called 125,000 from Smith, the {9-Clubs} river completed the board, and both players checked.

Smith showed {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}, but Riess tabled {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for tens up to win the pot.

Hand #50: Riess raised to 75,000 from the button and Smith defended his big blind.

They checked to the turn of a {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts} board where Smith bet 75,000. Riess called, the {10-Spades} river completed the board, and Smith bet 230,000. Riess mulled it over for about two minutes before he folded.

Hand #51: Smith opened to 75,000 from the button and Riess called from the big blind.

They checked down a board of {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Smith won the pot with {K-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

Hand #52: Riess raised to 75,000 from the button, Smith three-bet to 280,000 from the big bind, and Riess thought it over for about 45 seconds before he folded.
