2018 WSOP: Event #30: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha won by Ryan Bambrick for $217,123
Bambrick has been a day trader for seven years, but most recently he decided to put that aside for a while so that he can focus on playing poker.

This is already his fourth cash at the 2018 WSOP, but this time it's more special, since it was his very first final table finish (and he even got first place).
Bambrick said after he won, "I was just trying to play my best game the whole time. And whatever happens, happens. I was really focused on trying to win. I wasn't really concerned about the pay jumps. I was just trying to win a bracelet, to be honest with you."
Bambrick entered the final day of the event as the chip leader with 12 players left.
