Chad Eveslage Upsets Texas Mike to Win First-Ever $100000 Super High Roller Bowl Mixed Games
The first-ever $100,000 Super High Roller Bowl Mixed Games attracted 29 entrants to PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas. Only the final five players that made it to Day 3 got a piece of the $2.9 million prize pool.
“Texas” Mike Moncek had finished both Days 1 and 2 atop the chip counts, and he was perennial favorite to claim the title. Things looked good for Moncek throughout the final table, including a hero call during three-handed play that became an instant classic (see it below), but the wheels fell off in heads-up play.
That is when Chad Eveslage came out swinging and closed things out in a hand of no-limit hold’em after flopping a Broadway straight. According to PGT reporters, it was Eveslage’s sixth career PGT victory and moved him into a nine-way tie for 15th most in PGT history.

2 | “Texas” Mike Moncek | USA | 218 | $725,000 |
3 | Yuri Dzivielevski | Brazil | 135 | $450,000 |
4 | Daniel Negreanu | Canada | 90 | $300,000 |
5 | Benny Glaser | UK | 68 | $225,000 |
The tournament put a cap on more than a week of mixed game festivities that included the PokerGO Tour Mixed Games Series in which Chino Rheemfinished atop the leaderboard for the second time in three years.
Despite starting the final table second in chips, the UK’s Benny Glaser was the first to fall. According to live updates from the event, Glaser busted in a round of No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw moving all in and drawing one to an eight-five. Yuri Dzivielevski had called and stood pat with a ten-nine, which held when Glaser drew a jack.
Seven-time WSOP bracelet winner and reigning $50,000 Poker Player’s Champion Daniel Negreanu began the day as the short stack and saw his run come to an end in a hand of Badugi. Negreanu got his chips in against Moncek and proceeded to stand pat with a nine-five Badugi. Unfortunately for him, Moncek had a 4*♦3♠A♥* and was drawing to a club. He drew two, then one and one before catching the 6*♣* at the end to bust “Kid Poker.”
Three-handed play lasted for a while before Dzivielevski, who fired two bullets into the tournament, bowed out in third place in a hand of No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw. After he three-bet preflop, Dzivielevski stood pat and Moncek drew one. Dzivielevski moved all in and Moncek hit the tank before calling with a pair of fours, and his read was spot on as Dzivielevski had been bluffing with two pair.
Mocek began heads-up play with 5.5 million to the 3.1 million of Eveslage, but the latter soon doubled and took over the lead. The duo jostled for a bit before things came to a head in a hand of no-limit hold’em when Eveslage limped and Moncek checked to see an A*♥10♦Q♠* flop.
Moncek check-called a bet of 100,000 and then check-called one of 400,000 after the Q*♣* paired the board on the turn. When the 2*♥* completed the board on the river, Moncek checked for a third time and Eveslage moved all in. Moncek had 1.1 million remaining and went for another hero call with the J*♠8♣. It was no good however as Eveslage had flopped the joint with the K♠J♦*.
Prior to the win, Eveslage had $8.2 million in lifetime earnings according to The Hendon Mob. The $1.2 million prize became the third seven-figure score of Eveslage’s career behind only the $1,415,610 he took for winning the 2022 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Event #8: $25,000 NLH High Roller. It was his first WSOP gold bracelet, though he’d add two more in 2023.
As for Moncek, he fell one spot shy of the winner’s spotlight, but he had $725,000 to help soothe the pain, which was also his second-largest career cash.
