Former Main Event Champ Riess Makes WPT Final Table

More than three years after he won the granddaddy of 'em all, Ryan Riess finds himself five players away from finally adding another major title to his trophy case.

The 2013 World Series of Poker Main Event champ has reached the official final table of the World Poker Tour Seminole Hard Rock $10,000 Poker Finale, the final open event of the season.

Riess sits in second place, but the competition will be quite stiff, including Jason Koon, 2016 November Niner and online legend Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy and Alan Sternberg, a former WPT champ with a sizable chip lead.
