2013 WSOP Main Event champ Ryan Riess started the day with 89,300 in chips, but has seen more than half of his stack disappear in the opening level of Day 2ab.
In one recent hand, he checked a 
flop from middle position with a pot of 13,100 already built up between him and an opponent in the hijack, only to fold to a 7,100 chip bet after a minute in the tank. Riess will need a momentum shift in the opposite direction soon to avoid being a Day 2ab casualty.
