Bowen Finishes Off "Riess the Beast"
Level 6
: 100/200, 25 ante

flop saw Riess get his remaining chips in against Bowen, who had flopped top pair with 
.
Riess got it in good, but the dealer promptly burned and turned another to give Bowen the lead. The river was a blank, and that was all she wrote for the 2013 WSOP Main Event champ. Fortunately for him, the Day 1c flight is about to begin so he'll have one more shot at advancing to Day 2.
