"So this is the unofficial final table," said a friend to John Reiss as he stood over by the rail, waiting out a hand between Igor Sharaskin and Michael Yee.
"I'm countin' it," Reiss grinned. Reiss has three "official" WSOP final tables to his credit already, taking sixth in the $1,500 Stud/8 event in 2003, third in a $2,000 NLHE event in 2006, and fourth in the $1,500 Omaha/8 event in 2007.
Indeed, all of those making the final 10 from the starting field of 946 should feel some pride in the accomplishment.
