Final Table Bios - Seat 7: Armando Ruiz II (192,000)

donpeters

Not much information was found on our seven seat, Armando "Tiny" Ruiz II, nor was there a lot of information on his bio sheet. Ruiz comes to us from Tamarac, Florida and is making his first ever cash, but there's no better way to do that than at a WSOP final table.

Ruiz will begin the day towards the bottom of the pack with 192,000 chips.

John Racener is from Tampa, Florida and has over $1 million in career tournament earnings. Today marks his sixth WSOP cash in his career, cashing twice this year already. Back in 2007, he came out victorious at the WSOP Circuit event in Atlantic City for nearly $380,000. That was his largest cash to date, but he's had three six-figure scores in all. Racener will be looking to capture his first gold WSOP bracelet today.
