Back-to-Back Sets for Riess; Clock Malfunction Hurts Danzer

"That's my second flopped set in a row," Riess told us, grinning.
He then filled us in on the details of his tweet, saying that the tournament clock situated right in front of the table said "Small Blind: 150 Big Blind 300" instead of the current level (50/100) for "twenty minutes."
"Poor George [Danzer] was coolered in four hands," the defending champ said. "I would've gone busto."
Danzer, who won a bracelet in Event #18, offered a simple, wry smile.
Riess is up to 47,000 chips, while Danzer and Klein are both floating around 15,000.
