Chad Eveslage has walked away with a cool $1,415,610 after beating out a field of 251 entries in the $25,000 buy-in World Series of poker Event #8: $25,000 High Roller.
For Eveslage this was his first WSOP bracelet and his best live finish, pushing his total live career earnings to $5,429,544.
The Fort Lauderdale resident, born in Indiana, said "It's nice to win. It's a lot of money after a tough tournament. The venue is great; it's definitely an upgrade from the Rio!"
Eveslage beat out final tablists that included the likes of defending WSOP Player of the Year Josh Arieh (3rd - $616,047) and 2021 WSOP Main Event winner Koray Aldemir (6th - $241,791).
Eveslage already has a number of WSOP mixed game final tables including H.O.R.S.E., Limit Hold'em and Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better, but says he wasn't surprised to win his first bracelet in a No-Limit Hold'em event.
"I'm definitely better at No-Limit Hold'em tournaments than mixed tournaments. If I had to bet, mixed game tournament fields are smaller, but I'm a better No-Limit tournament player than a mixed tournament player.
