Chad Eveslage Before he was winning millions of dollars at various poker stops, Chad Eveslage was a teenager on a little cow farm in southern Indiana who started playing the game after seeing it on TV.
“I started playing in like 8th grade online, play money and stuff like that,” said Eveslage. “Kind of just like everybody, I saw WSOP on ESPN, like the Moneymaker Boom sort of deal, and like any good kid in that age group, I just did whatever was on ESPN. So I was like, alright this looks cool, I’m going to do this.”
Now 31, Eveslage finds himself on an incredible poker heater, winning his first World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet and $1.4 million earlier this year in a $25,000 High Roller and going on to win the record-breaking World Poker Tour (WPT) $10,400 Five Diamond World Poker Classic for $1 million and his second WPT title.
A third WPT title could be in the cards for Eveslage as he is still alive on Day 3 of the WPT 2022 Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open (RRPO) $3,500 Main Event after ending Day 2 as one of the chip leaders.
Should he finish in third place or better, Eveslage would take the lead over Steven Buckner in the WPT Player of the Year race.
The two-time WPT champ recently spoke with PokerNews’ own Chad Holloway on the PokerNews Podcast about his current upswing, poker background and how he spent nearly every waking moment of the COVID-19 pandemic playing online poker. Kicking Off Career in Florida
After starting off with play money, Eveslage “did well” in poker and “started playing real money in high school.”
“I just have basically played since,” he said.
Eveslage left his hometown of Ramsey and moved to Florida to further pursue poker, where he would eventually win a $25,500 High Roller at the 2021 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown in Hollywood for $767,576. But before that, he was mainly grinding juicy Florida cash games.
