Poker at the RSL has had a flying start since the big move three weeks ago, with great numbers around the table.

Some players have come out of retirement to join in the popular weekly event, which has completed its sixth tournament of the 10 week series.

All eyes are on the ladder with several players in with a chance to take out the top spot.

Mark Ryan’s win saw him score enough points to elevate himself to the top of the ladder – 10 points ahead of Andrew Stark.

The player on top of the ladder after week 10 finds themselves in the best position going into the series final.

Poker players are required to play a minimum of five tournaments within the series to qualify for the final.

A $5 ‘rake’ is kept from each of the $40 buy in amount and put into the finals prize pool so the higher players find themselves on the ladder the bigger start stack they have at the beginning of the tournament final.
