Ryan Leng Wins WSOP Event #23: $1,500 Eight Game Mix 6-Max

Ryan Leng has taken down the WSOP Event #23: Eight Game Mix 6-Max, preventing Connor Drinan from winning his second bracelet in two weeks. Leng adds to his own bracelet tally to become a three-time winner, one of only 109 people to ever break through that mark. He picked up his first back in the WSOP Event #51: $1,500 No Limit Hold'em - Bounty and followed up with victory in the WSOP Event #13: $1,000 No Limit Hold'em - Freezeout ONLINE - US Only during July of this year.

Only six players in the top 50 were from outside the United States. The old limit games are still widely spread in Nevada casinos but have all but died out in the online arena. This must be having an effect over the years.

Ryan Leng faced Connor Drinan in the final heads-up match. Leng was at a 10-1 chip disadvantage against Drinan before a miracle seven saved the day. The rest of the match was a grind but Leng pulled off the seemingly impossible and sealed a popular victory.
