Introducing your 2023 wsop Main Event final nine. Seat 5: Ruslan Prydryk (50,700,000 in chips) The 2023 Main Event marks only the second WSOP cash for Ruslan Prydryk, who is originally from Lugansk, Ukraine, and now living in the country of Georgia. The 50-year-old part-time poker player has been playing for several years and has almost $462,000 in live tournament winnings. Prydryk’s biggest finish came in 2009 in the EPT Warsaw Main Event in Poland, where he finished fifth for $104,967. He also grabbed eighth in the €5,300 EPT Main Event in 2011 for $90,918. The married father has one daughter who will now be able to watch him battle at the final table. In previous deep runs, she was too young to take in the action. Other family members are also flying in to cheer him on as well. When not playing poker or working as a businessman, Prydryk enjoys playing soccer and tennis. With a nice returning stack, he’ll now have a chance to make the biggest tournament score of his life even more...
