Ben Ponzio is a 33 year old sales manager for Chicago's WBBM-FM radio. In 2007, he won a World Series of Poker bracelet in the $2,000 No-Limit Hold’em. “Sure, I’m going back to work,” Ponzio said in a post-tournament interview. “Six-hundred thousand (dollars) is a lot of money. But it’s not enough to live on the rest of my life.” [Nollan, Dalla.
