Eveslage was pleased in victory after falling short in numerous final tables. “I feel good. 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!”
The win scored Eveslage his first WSOP bracelet and an impressive $1,415,610 prize. An impressive 251 entries joined the event with a final table that included big names such as Jake Schindler and Josh Arieh.

Other WSOP bracelet winners
Alex Livington won his first WSOP bracelet on Monday evening after winning the $1,500 7 Card Stud to win gold and a $103,292 first place prize. Livingston outlasted 329 entries over 3 days to take home the hardware. Since his third-place finish in the 2019 WSOP Main Event he had his eyes on the prize.
“I used to be mostly just a cash game player. Since the Main Event, it got me more inspired to play a few more tournaments, especially going harder during the world series. So this win doesn’t really change my plans for this WSOP as I was going to play a full schedule anyway.”
In Event #7, the $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 of Better, Amnon Filippi won the event to take home his first WSOP bracelet and a $252,718 first-place prize. He beat Matt Vengrin heads-up and a total field of 1,086 players to win the tournament.
None of these winners received a nipple massage at the WSOP final table.
