Chad Eveslage Triumphs in Inaugural $100K Super High Roller Bowl Mixed Games
The High-Stakes Showdown
The first-ever $100,000 Super High Roller Bowl Mixed Games attracted 29 elite players to the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas, generating a staggering $2.9 million prize pool. As the final five players battled it out on Day 3, all eyes were on “Texas” Mike Moncek, who had dominated the chip counts on Days 1 and 2, emerging as the odds-on favorite to claim the title.
Eveslage’s Ascent to Victory
While Moncek appeared poised for victory, including a heroic call during three-handed play that instantly became a classic moment, the tides turned in heads-up play. Chad Eveslage seized the momentum, unleashing a relentless assault that culminated in a no-limit hold’em hand where he flopped a Broadway straight to secure the championship.
