Ryan Schmitt outlasts Alec Anderson, others, for FPC win
Ryan Schmitt from Eden Prairie, MN was a short stack with two tables to go, but a hero call with 5th-pair on the river gave him a stack and some much-needed momentum. Schmitt eventually took down event #12 for a $17,769 first place prize.
Also at the final table was Minnesota State Poker Champi0n Alec Anderson, who nearly busted with 11 players left. Much like Schmitt, Anderson worked a short stack into a large stack, but the state champ came up just a bit short on Tuesday night.
