12th Sonny Osman (London, United Kingdom) $8,663 Ryan Hughes won the $2,000
buy-in Seven-Card Stud High-Low championship at the 2007 World Series of Poker
presented by Milwaukee's Best Light. Hughes is a 26-year-old poker pro from
Phoenix, Arizona. -- Hughes was born in San Francisco, CA. He was a student at
Arizona State University. He did not complete his college degree, opting
instead to try to make it as a professional poker player. He has now been
playing seriously for about five years and has made a steady income each and
every year since leaving school. Hughes won several poker tournaments in the
Los Angeles area. This was his sixth cash at the WSOP. He finished in-the-money
in the 2005 main event. Prior to this win, his best finish was ninth place in
an Omaha-High-Low event. First place paid $176,358. Douglas 'Rico' Carli has
stayed under the radar of public attention for over three years. No more.
Although he has yet to win a gold bracelet, Rico has made more cashes than any
player during the last three years, when combining WSOP and WSOP Circuit events
(season three of the Circuit ended last month). He cashed in the very first
WSOP Circuit event ever held at Harrah's Atlantic City (January 2005) and
combined for an astonishing 31 cashes at WSOP-related events alone since then.
His third-place showing in this event was also his third cash at this year's
World Series. 2004 world champion Greg 'Fossilman' Raymer was the fourth-place
finisher. He has already cashed three times at this year's World Series and
made two final-table appearances. |
