For the sixth year in a row it is a young professional player who has taken down the big one. Congratulations to the new champion Ryan Riess. 1st Ryan Riess $8,361,570 2nd Jay Farber $5,174,357 3rd Amir Lehavot $3,727,023 4th Sylvain Loosli $2,791,893 5th JC Tran $2,106,893 6th Marc McLaughlin $1,601,024 7th Michiel Brummelhuis $1,225,356 8th David Benefield $944,650 9th Mark Newhouse $733,224 Players: 6,352 Prize Pool: $59,708,800 “This is a dream come true,” said Riess after the win. “Ever since I saw Chris Moneymaker win this event in 2003 I knew it was something I wanted to experience too.

Yes he was, he is indeed very young...
Whats i also find surprising is that i really did not heard about him online or maybe he is there but his nickname is not public. Still, after this win with some good investment tips he is set for life

Ryan Reiss played very well to win this and bullied Farber out of nearly every hand. Marc etienne was very unlucky not to win this i thought he played exceptionally well until his kings run into aces

The chip diffence between Riess and Newhouse is verry big, but at the final table it can Change verry fast. It is only a SnG The winner can quit his poker career, the Chance to win more in the future is not really good.

Its such winnings you see in the WSOP that makes lots and lots of players wanna be professional players. But how many of them will ever reach at wining one? At least some of them manage to do ok and make a decent living out of it.
