2013 WSOP Final Table Live Updates


Tuesday November 5,2013 :  THREE DOWN ON WORLDS SERIES OF POKER FINAL TABLE (Update)
 
Newhouse, Benefield and Brummelhuis have all busted.
 
Monday evening at the Penn and Teller Theater at the Rio in Las Vegas was a buzzy, noisy affair as the railbirds gathered to support  their favourites in the final table of the 2013 World Series of Poker.
 
Finalist Ryan Riess appeared to be especially well-supported, with a fair number of people sporting "Riess the Beast" T-shirts.
 
Previous champ Greg Merson triggered the big game with his shuffle up and deal call as 5 Americans, a Canadian, an Israeli, a Dutchman, and a Frenchman made the cards fly.
 
When we went to press three finalists were already out of the contest; Mark Newhouse was first to go, despatched by Ryan Riess for a ninth place finish worth $733,224.
 
Just two hands later he was followed by David Benefield, who collected a eigth place check for $944,650 following his elimination at the hands of Jay Farber.
 
Dutch professional Michiel Brummelhuis is also out, another Riess victim whose seventh place finish brought him $1,255,356.
 
At press time Ryan Reiss had the most chips on 68,100,000, hotly pursued by Jay Farber (67,575,000). Both were well ahead of nearest rival Sylvain Loosi on 20,475,000.
