Biography

Ryan Riess is an American poker player who won the 2013 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event.

In 2017, he added a World Poker Tour title and has amassed over $15 million in live earnings over the course of his career.

Biography

Riess' first recorded tournament cash came in 2012 with a runner-up finish in the WSOP Circuit Hammond Main Event for $239,0763.

A little over a year later, he was world champion. He defeated Jay Farber heads-up to win over $8.3 million in prize money after besting a field of 6,352 players.

��The title means everything,�� Riess said after his win. ��The money��s great, but being a professional poker player, money comes and goes... The title is everything. I would not be happy with second place.��

In 2018, he narrowly missed out on the WSOP Europe Main Event, finishing fourth behind eventual winner Jack Sinclair.

The following year, he made the final table of the EPT Monte-Carlo Main Event, again falling in fourth place and narrowly missing out on a Triple Crown.
