RIESS THE BEAST
They chanted his name, they railed like no other and in the end, the Michigan gang cheering on their hero Ryan Riess (GPI#340) got what they wanted as their hero has won the 44th World Series of Poker Main Event. Riess defeats Las Vegas nightclub rep Jay Farber (GPI#842) heads-up to earn over 8.36M USD for his efforts!
