Vaskaboinikau Eliminates Riess

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Ryan Riess got his stack in before the flop from the big blind against Mikalai Vaskaboinikau, who was on the button and had him covered by a wide margin.

Riess: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Vaskaboinikau: {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

Riess had the preflop advantage but was flipping for his tournament life and needed to hold up in order to survive. Vaskaboinikau took the lead on the {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop and Riess found no help on the {J-Hearts} turn or {4-Hearts} river, so Vaskaboinikau took the pot to send Riess to the rail.
