$150 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
Level 7 (Blinds 250/500/50)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 74


Joseph Ritzie (Hamilton, OH)

Joseph Ritzie (Hamilton, OH) has over $178,000 in live tournament earnings, with a good percentage of that number coming from a WSOP final table finish in 2010 ($5,000 PLO 8B - 4th Place $113,444).  Joseph then followed by recording just five results over a period from 2010-2016, with his poker focus primarily on cash games.  Then came 2017, a year in which he's already cashed in more events than he did the last six years combined.

Ritzie most recent cash came just a few weeks ago, during the SHRPO, when he won Event #14 ($150 No Limit Hold'em) for $24,682.  The tournament win was the first of his career (recorded), and also happened to be his largest cash since the above mentioned WSOP final table.  Joseph was one of the newest entries into the field, joining good friend and Isle Poker notable Zakarya Wolgamott.
