2013 RRCSOP
Hard to believe, but this is the 4th Annual Ronin Ryder Cup Series of Poker. Once again, tournament director Pat Smith organized a very successful event at Binions Hotel and Casino.
23 players started with $5000 in chips, $25/$50 blinds, no antes. Blinds raised every 15 minutes. The tournament would pay out the top three positions. Closest to the pin winners were awarded an extra $1000 to start.
Play was very tight at the beginning, but for the second year in a row, Eric Takanishi took a bad beat on the river to lose all but one big blind. He went out on the next hand and was the first out of the tournament.

1st place: Les Beltran, ($230?)
