Thomas Flushes Riess Out

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Ryan Riess / Julian Thomas
Ryan Riess / Julian Thomas

After losing the vast majority of his stack to Murad Akhundov, Ryan Riess was down to less than one big blind. He waited for a few more hands before committing his last 6,000.

Julian Thomas raised to 20,000 behind him and all other players folded.

Ryan Riess: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Julian Thomas: {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Riess was in a good spot to survive but the flop was devastating: {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. The {9-Spades} on the turn left the 2013 WSOP Main Event champion drawing dead, making the {A-Hearts} river meaningless.
