Brandon Riha Crippled, Eliminated in 10th Place( $14,853)
Brandon Riha raised in early position to 80,000 and it folded all the way around to Sean Getzwiller in the small blind. He peeked down at his cards, then announced a raise to 250,000. Once Riha found out how much Getzwiller had behind, he announced all in and Getzwiller snap called.

Getzwiller: 
Riha was in rough shape and would need a ton of help. The flop came out 
and Getzwiller was still in front. He locked it up on the turn, the 
, and the meaningless river came the 
. That doubled Getzwiller up to almost two million, while Riha was knocked down to just 40,000.
Three hands later, Riha was all in for 20,000 in the big blind. Joe Kuether raised it to 80,000, and it folded around to Bill Criego in the small blind. He announced a reraise to 250,000 and Kuether quickly folded. Riha figured he was in rough shape, and he was, up against the best hand in hold'em.
Riha: 
Bill Criego: 
Riha would need a miracle to survive, but it wasn't meant to be, as the board ran out 
. Criego collected the bounty and Riha headed to the rail, giving us our official final table.
