Eveslage Outplays Legends to Win $25K WSOP Event

Chad Eveslage wrapped up the 2025 World Series of Poker on a high note, taking down the $25,000 H.O.R.S.E. High Roller for his fourth gold bracelet and a payout of $883,841. The win marked yet another big result in what has been a strong year of mixed-game performances for the 33-year-old pro.

Good to know

• Eveslage now holds four WSOP gold bracelets and over $11.5 million in recorded tournament earnings.
• His latest title came in the $25,000 H.O.R.S.E. High Roller, where he topped a field of 150 players.
• This was Eveslage’s eighth WSOP cash of the year and his second final table of the 2025 series.

Earlier this year, Eveslage grabbed headlines by winning the $100,000 Super High Roller Bowl Mixed Games event for $1.2 million. Before that, his bracelet wins came in a mix of formats: one in no-limit hold’em and two in dealer’s choice events in 2023. Even though many associate him with NLH success, Eveslage has clearly found his groove in the world of mixed games.

At the $25,000 H.O.R.S.E. final table, Eveslage had to fight through a stacked lineup. Brian Rast, Phil Ivey, John Hennigan, and Toby Lewis all made deep runs, and the table featured a strong mix of legends and active crushers. While the action moved across games like stud, limit hold’em, and Omaha eight-or-better, Eveslage consistently made the right moves when it counted.

By the time it got down to heads-up play, Eveslage held the chip lead over Rast. The two battled back and forth, but Eveslage stretched the gap before the final hand in stud. Rast went in with a pair of fives on fifth street against Eveslage’s pair of jacks. Neither improved, and Eveslage locked up the title. Rast took home $586,539 for second place, pushing his career earnings past $28 million.

Earlier at the final table, Toby Lewis placed third and earned just under $400,000 after losing a limit hold’em pot where Eveslage hit aces up. Jose Barbero, who had made eight final tables already in 2025, added a ninth with his fourth-place finish. Ryan Miller, Phil Ivey, John Hennigan, and Chris Hunichen rounded out the top eight.

Eveslage now has nearly $4.6 million in WSOP cashes and continues to build a resume that is no longer just tied to no-limit hold’em. His adaptability across formats has made him one of the most well-rounded players on the scene today.

Final table recap

The final table featured multiple world champions and bracelet winners. Chris Hunichen finished eighth for $90,110. John Hennigan and Phil Ivey followed in seventh and sixth, respectively. Ryan Miller exited in fifth, followed by Jose Barbero in fourth and Toby Lewis in third. Eveslage outlasted Brian Rast heads-up, ending the tournament with a win in stud to claim the top prize.
