Event 4: Ryan Blank 15th

$500 + $60 NLH

Ryan Blank 15th 1,664

Ryan Blank is a man of mystery. He refused to even tell me his name yesterday, instead calmly and confidently stating, "I'll tell it to you and let you take a picture when I make the final table tomorrow." It actually became a running joke as he kept improving his stack.

Well he came just a little short of the final but did shake my hand and officially introduce himself.

His final hand of 6-6 came short stacked (106,000) and was way behind Ted Geier's 8-8.

The board ran 2-2-2-4-9 which sent Ryan to the rail.

Did I mention Ryan was in the process of getting a killer massage from Borgata masseuse Eve?

She agreed to continue the massage at a side table as I interviewed him.
