The 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) dealer’s choice events were completely won by Indiana native and professional poker player Chad Eveslage, age 31. Eveslage won the $1,500 buy-in tournament and the $10,000 buy-in dealer’s choice championship in a magnificent display of talent and will, earning his second and third gold bracelets in his career along with a large cash award.
Joining the Ranks of Accomplished Players
With his twin victories, Eveslage joins a select group of WSOP competitors who have excelled in dealer’s choice events. Previous notable players include Jaswinder Lally, who won the $1,500 buy-in tournament in 2021 and placed second in the same event in 2022, as well as Adam Friedman, who won the $10,000 dealer’s choice event back-to-back-to-back in 2018, 2019, and 2021.
Maintaining a Streak of Multiple Bracelet Winners
By winning his third bracelet, Eveslage added to a record 24-year sequence in which at least one player has won multiple WSOP bracelets. When Chris Ferguson won the $2,500 seven-card stud event and the WSOP main event in 2000, he started this tradition. Three players—Dan Zack, Lawrence Brandt, and Espen Jorstad—added to the list of multi-bracelet winners last year.
Impressive Achievements and Player of the Year Points
With his most recent victory, Eveslage increased his stature in the poker world by accumulating 600 Card Player Player of the Year points. Eveslage, who is currently 136th in the Global Poker-sponsored overall standings, has racked up an astounding career total of more than $7.9 million in tournament winnings. In addition to his three bracelets, he also holds two recent World Poker Tour main event victories.
