WSOP 2013: Ryan Riess WINS Main Event

Ryan Riess, one who is near "the best player of the final table" (many will not agree obviously) won yesterday at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas the World Series of Poker Main Event bracelet and the 8,361,570$ accompanying it.

In an interview he States: "I in dreamed for a long time, since I was 14 years old and I've seen Moneymaker win the same tournament".

At the beginning of the duel, Farber, his opponent, had an advantage in chips of 105 M vs. 87 M. After less than 20 hands, Riess had become chip leader and after 91 hands, he had reason to his opponent.

While it was more than 10 times the tokens of his opponent, Riess performing a min - raise with KT. Farber called with JT. The flop gave KQx and 2 players were all-in on the flop. A 9 gave the sequence to Farber who doubled his stack. After winning that pot key and be saved from elimination, Farber had the wind in its sails and is even reassembled until you have a little less than 50% of the tokens of Riess. Farber had a certain momentum. Riess was to begin to get hot to see his opponent gruger thus, little by little.

But Riess took matters into their own hands to finally get back to where things were before losing with KT vs JT. On the final hand, Raman made her min - raise standard position and his opponent pushed its 12 M chips with Q5s. Riess was an easy call with his AKhh. The flop helped person and Raman won the tournament with his "ace high".
