Riess Bombs the River

Jeremy Geist

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

There was a late position open to 1,000. WSOP Main Event Winner, Ryan Riess called next to act, Jake Daniels called on the button and the big blind defended. The players were off to a flop four ways.

The 2?6?8? flop hit the felt and action checked to Riess who put out a bet of 1,700. The big blind made the call and the preflop raiser made the call. The players were going to a turn three ways.

The 10? turn hit and the action checked to Riess again who continued for 2,600. With action back on the big blind, he thought for a moment before putting in the turn check-raise to 7,600. The preflop raiser got out of the way and Reiss went into the tank for a moment before making the call.

The river landed a J? and without thinking the big blind tossed out one 5,000 chip. Riess stayed composed but eventually ripped it in covering the big blinds stack. The big blind basically snap folded and Riess dragged a great pot early.
