Karamalikis Sends Reigning WSOP Main Event Champ to the Rail
Nível 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
At the tail end of Level 6, action folded to 2013 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Ryan Riess in the small blind. The Michigan native raised to 600, and Australia's Jonathan "xMONSTERxDONGx" Karamalikis pushed back with a three-bet to 1,400 from the big blind. Riess responded by four-betting all in for right around 5,000, and Karamalikis wasted little time in making the call.
Karamalikis: 
Riess: 
It was a classic flip, but Riess needed to improve to stay alive. The 
flop did little for him, while the 
delivered him a gutshot straight draw. The dealer burned one last time and put out the 
, a blank for Riess.
"Good luck guys," the champ offered before taking his leave from the Day 1a field.
