Another Former Main Event Champ and a Runner-Up Join

The 2013 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion, Ryan Riess, just hopped into the $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw. A few other recognizable faces have also joined. Erik Seidel, who finished second in the 1988 WSOP Main Event to Johnny Chan (which you probably know from the scene in Rounders), has also joined. Since that runner-up finish, Seidel has won eight WSOP gold bracelets including two No-Limit 2-7 titles.

Paul Volpe has won two WSOP events, one of his bracelets was for the $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship for $253,524.

Nick Yunis has $1.3-million in tournament winnings but has yet to win a bracelet. He is currently very short-stacked and might have some trouble bouncing back since three-time bracelet winner Barry Greenstein and James Obst are also at his table.
