Ryan Bambrick has etched his name deeper into poker history with a sensational win at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP). In one of the most competitive events of the summer, Bambrick claimed his second career WSOP bracelet by conquering Event #9: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship — and in dramatic fashion, no less — by defeating none other than poker icon Daniel Negreanu in a thrilling heads-up duel.
The victory didn’t just earn him a coveted gold bracelet. It also brought with it the biggest payday of his career — a whopping $470,437. For Bambrick, this wasn’t just another title; it was a breakthrough moment on the grandest stage in poker.
Bambrick’s path to the top was far from easy. The championship drew a stacked field of elite Omaha specialists, all gunning for one of the most prestigious mixed-game titles of the series. However, the New Jersey native remained composed and clinical, using sharp reads and masterful split-pot strategy to navigate through the competition.
As the final table unfolded, all eyes turned to the captivating heads-up between Bambrick and six-time bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu. The two traded pots and chip leads in what quickly became a back-and-forth battle of skill, endurance, and nerve. Despite Negreanu’s vast experience and trademark table presence, it was Bambrick who seized the key moments.

Not only does it double his bracelet count, but it also firmly places him in the upper echelon of contemporary mixed-game players.
