Ryan Riess Already Climbing

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

We got to the table as WSOP Main Event Champion Ryan Riess was raking in a pot and shaking Jean-Francois Stoycheff's hand as he hit the rail.

Riess had two aces in front of him and the dealer mucked Stoycheff's two jacks on a dry board.

Riess only entered the field at the beginning of Level 8 and has already almost tripled his stack with less than a level to go in the day.
