Ryan Hughes, 2008 WSOP $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi/Low Champion
Ryan Hughes should have been home two days ago, instead he's spending Saturday night at the 2008 WSOP collecting his second WSOP bracelet for Seven Card Stud Hi/Low. He won his first bracelet last year in another Seven Card Stud Hi/Low WSOP event. Ryan once again displayed his poker savvy with an aggressive, mistake-free game to overtake early chip leader Ron Long and cruise into the victory lane.
Ryan Hughes collects $183,368 to go with the second piece of WSOP jewelry after topping the 544 player field. Ron Long picks up $113,240 for second and Thomas Hunt takes home $68,686 for third. Noted poker pro and two-plus-two author David Slansky made the final table, going out in the eight spot for $19,306.
Congratulations to Ryan Hughes for his win and his second WSOP gold bracelet.
