The event was held at the Palm Beach Kennel Club which is a greyhound racetrack with a great poker room. The $1,500 Championship event attracted 712 participants, a prize pool of over $1 million. Notables who attended were 2004 WSOP Champion Greg Raymer, along with 2007 WSOP Champion Jerry Yang. While neither made the money, the 19 year-old Riordan definitely did, pocketing an impressive $210k for the win. UB Poker Bonus will grant you an online poker bonus.
Riordan’s feat rewarded him a spot in the National tournament this May, but his age will preclude him from participating as the tournament will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada where the legal gambling age is set at 21 –no word yet on how the WSOP Circuit will handle this situation.
