The $5,000 six-handed pot-limit Omaha event at the 2014 World Series of Poker drew a field of 452 players, creating a total prize pool of $2,124,400. In the end, it was 27-year-old Michael Drummond who came out with the win, his first career bracelet and the $547,147 first-place prize.

Drummond, originally from New Hampshire, now spends most of his time playing in pot-limit Omaha cash games in and around San Francisco, California. He does have four other WSOP cashes for a total of $669,543 in career tournament earnings.

“It’s a social game,” said Drummond. “It’s so much more about your cards that you can just look at your cards and then have a conversations at the table. Pot-limit Omaha is just a more fun, social, gambling game.”

Joining Drummond at the final table were notables Phil Laak (6th) and Kory Kilpatrick (3rd), who won the $3,000 no-limit hold’em shootout event earlier this summer. Other notables to make a deep run included Richard Ashby (7th), Sorel Mizzi (9th), David Baker (12th), Phil Galfond (19th) and J.C. Tran (20th).

Here is a look at the final table results.
