$3,500 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship
Level 8: 300/600/75 Ante

Former world champions Jamie Gold, Jonathan Duhamel and Carlos Mortensen have already made their way to Day 2.  The road has been a little tougher for the final former champion to play this championship event: Ryan Riess.  And it hasn’t gotten much better.

Coming off winning Event 11, Riess just hasn’t gotten traction the last few days is clinging to a chip stack just under 20,000.  We’ll see if Riess can right the ship and join his fellow champs tomorrow.
