WSOP Champ Ryan Riess Out in 35th Place ($11,865)

Kyle Welsh raises UTG+1 to 21,000, reigning WSOP Main Event champion Ryan Riess moves all in from the cutoff for about 75,000, and Welsh calls with [7d7h]. Riess turns over [KhQs], and he needs to improve to stay alive.

The board comes [Jd8s2s4h8c], and the pocket sevens hold up for Welsh to win the pot and eliminate Riess from the tournament.

Kyle Welsh  –  710,000  (88 bb)
