More and more bankers may be leaving the rough-and-tumble world of Wall Street, but few can match Alan Goehring's achievements since leaving Credit Suisse First Boston a couple of years ago. The one-time distressed debt securities analyst recently took home $1,011,886 in the championship event of the World Poker Tour to become the top player, according to Poker Mag, a Website for poker fans. Goehring, an aggressive player who wears sunglasses during games, says he does not care about making the money, just winning. He also noted that his work experience has helped him in poker because in the final analysis, both are about taking advantage of favorable risk-reward opportunities.
