The room is filling up at a rapid pace here at the Playground Poker Club.
World Series of Poker 2013 Main Event Champion, Ryan Riess, has taken his seat and looks to add another title to his already-impressive resume. Riess has already had a phenomenal year with deep runs in the Bahamas and Panama, followed by a World Poker Tour win in the $10,000 Main Event at the Seminole Hard Rock, and then a final table finish in Monte Carlo just a couple of weeks later.
Riess' latest success has pushed his lifetime recorded earnings over $10 Million.
Here is a look at some of the entries this last level:
