Chad Eveslage Edges Past Red-Hot “Texas Mike” to Win Inaugural $100K Super High Roller Bowl Mixed Games For Sixth PGT Title & $1.20 Million

The PokerGO Studio was still radiating heat from the recent PGT Mixed Games Series, and the inaugural $100,000 Super High Roller Bowl Mixed Games cranked up the excitement to eleven. This high-stakes showdown was a proving ground where poker reputations were enhanced, and fortunes changed hands with every card dealt. Rising above it all was Chad Eveslage (cover image), a name now spoken with a renewed level of respect.

After an hour-long heads-up duel that felt like it lasted an eternity, Eveslage reigned supreme, taking home a staggering $1.20 Million and his sixth career PGT title. He bested “Texas” Mike Moncek, a player running so hot he`s practically leaving scorch marks on the felt, in a clash that will be talked about for some time!

This victory wasn’t just a big payday for Eveslage, although $1.20 Million is definitely something. It was a statement. It pushed him past the $9.47 Million mark in live tournament winnings, and it lodged him in a nine-way tie for 15th most PGT titles ever. It’s his second-biggest career score, trailing only the $1,415,610 he pocketed for taking down the 2022 WSOP $25k No-Limit Hold’em High Roller.

But this tournament wasn’t just about Eveslage. The narrative was a dynamic dance of fate, and Moncek played a lead role. Fresh off an incredible three podium finishes at the 2025 PokerGO Cup (a victory, a second-place finish, and a third!), Moncek dominated Day 1 and Day 2, entering the final table as the chip leader. He looked unstoppable for much of the final table, even pulling off a mind-blowing hero call during three-handed play, but destiny, it seemed, had other plans. He finished as runner-up, collecting a hefty $725,000 – his best PGT performance and second-largest live tournament prize ever.

Event Highlights

Twenty-nine of the game’s most formidable players entered the $100,000 buy-in Super High Roller Bowl: Mixed Games, each seeking to prove their all-around poker prowess. This congregation of talent created a prize pool of $2.90 Million, with the top five finishers getting a slice of the pie, along with crucial PGT points. Six-time WSOP bracelet winner Nick Schulman, unfortunately, experienced the sting of falling just outside the money, busting in ninth place.

Final Table Recap

Then, Daniel Negreanu, the seven-time WSOP bracelet winner and the 2024 WSOP $50K Poker Player’s Champion, saw his short-stacked run end in a hand of Badugi. He stood pat with a nine-dugi, but Moncek, drawing to a club, miraculously hit his out on the final draw to send “Kid Poker” packing a few places short of what would have been his second Super High Roller Bowl title.

Three-handed play became a tense, drawn-out struggle, with the chip lead exchanging hands like a hot potato. Yuri Dzivielevski, who had fired two bullets into the tournament, was eventually eliminated in a dramatic hand of No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw. He went for a bold snow (bluffing with two pair), but Moncek made a truly phenomenal call with just a pair of fours, sniffing out the bluff and taking a commanding lead into heads-up play.

That’s a BIG HERO CALL from @TexasMike2014 to eliminate @YuriNerdguy in third place! Dzivielevski cashes for $450,000.

The heads-up was a back-and-forth affair. Mike Moncek started with the chip lead, 5.50 Million chips to the 3.10 Million of Eveslage, but Eveslage quickly doubled up and seized control.

After a long battle, the final hand was a fitting climax. In a hand of No-Limit Hold’em, Eveslage limped, and Moncek checked. The flop came – a dream flop for Eveslage, who had flopped Broadway with . Moncek, holding , check-called bets on the flop and the turn . When the river brought the , Eveslage moved all in.
