2013 WSOP Main Event Champion Ryan Riess Takes a Seat!

Just as Level 8 was beginning, 2013 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Ryan Riess strolled in to take his seat in this event today.

Riess is fresh off a win in Barcelona after shipping the €10,200 No Limit Hold'em High Roller for €155,500 for his fourth career win. 'Riess the Beast' added to his more than $10 million in career earnings, with his $8,361,570 win in the 2013 WSOP Main Event being his top score.

The champ only has two cashes in Canada so far, with one of them being in May earlier this year at the partypoker MILLIONS event, so look for Riess to turn it on and gun for a big win on Canadian soil.
