Sam Soverel Wins WSOP Online High Roller Championship

Sam Soverel, known by the nickname “ApesSonIMHO”, won the WSOP Online High Roller Championship, earning $393,516. The tournament had a $5300 buy-in and a live heads-up final. Soverel was one of 408 entries in the tournament.

Joshua Arieh, known as “Nitbuster”, was the unfortunate bubble spot. Among those who made the paid spots but didn’t trouble the final table were Joe McKeehen, Shaun Deeb, Maria Ho, Erik Seidel, and Matt Berkey.

The final table included six players with six bracelets between them. Gergely Kulcsar finished second, earning $284,784. Soverel prefers live poker over online, stating, “I hadn’t played online since late-2020. Honestly, I don’t really trust the online environment. Live’s fun. It’s more social. It’s way better to me.”
