We caught up with Ryan Riess as he was stacking chips that he had just won. He has steadily chipped up since being moved to the blue section and his stack is large.
"I may late rege the deuce to seven if I bust here," he mentioned to this reporter earlier. For the time being, at least, he may not have to worry about that, as he may very well be our chip leader.

"Will you show me an ace?" said Citrone as he folded.
Brito mucked.
"Ah, no ace!" said Citrone.
"I've not got an ace," replied Brito.
"Queen, then?"
"Better."
"Better than a queen?"
