Germany's Sebastian Langrock has had quite the week, as he just won his first WSOP gold bracelet after taking down Event #64: $1,500 No Limit Hold'em/Pot Limit Omaha - 8 Handed for $268,555.

In the heads-up match, Langrock defeated well-known pro and WSOP bracelet winner Ryan Laplante, who has a title from winning the $565 Pot-Limit Omaha event in 2015. Langrock is a pro himself and has spent the last two years specializing in pot-limit Omaha, learning from some of the top players in the industry.

Back in 2013, Langrock won the German version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and explained that he used that money as his poker bankroll and has been making a living playing poker ever since.

Langrock has taken his seat in the Main Event today and will be making a run at the most prestigious title in poker.
