Patrick Moulder Wins 2024 WSOP $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Bracelet

Patrick Moulder is the latest player to win a World Series of Poker bracelet. The Las Vegas resident emerged victorious in the 2024 WSOP $2,500 mixed triple draw lowball event, securing the hardware and the top prize of $177,045.

This was the largest live tournament score yet for Moulder, who also recorded his second and third-largest paydays at this year’s series. Those scores saw him earn $41,281 as the eighth-place finisher in the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. championship event and $35,838 for a ninth-place showing in the $10,000 Omaha eight-or-better championship. Moulder now has more than $319,000 in recorded career scores after his strong start this summer.

This event featured a rotation of deuce-to-seven triple draw lowball, ace-to-five triple draw lowball, and badugi. It attracted a field of 371 entries, with the top 56 finishers all earning a share of the $825,475 prize pool.

Plenty of big names ran deep, including bracelet winners like Ismael Bojang (37th), Motoyoshi Okamura (34th), Gary Benson (27th), and Shawn Buchanan (14th).

Six-time bracelet winner Shaun Deeb made the official final table of six, but was the first to fall. Moulder knocked him out in a round of ace-to-five with the wheel. Deeb earned $26,033 for his latest deep run at the series.

Matthew Smith was soon knocked out in fifth place ($36,387) playing the same game when he made a pair on the end to lose to a king low for Yuebin Guo.

Three-time bracelet winner and two-time World Poker Tour champion Chad Eveslage finished fourth, earning $52,140. He got his last chips in with a 7-6-4-A, but was already drawing dead against the 7-5-3-2-A of Moulder.

The very same hand knocked out Guo in third place ($115,073), but in this instance it was Ian Chan who had made the strong seven low. Chan entered heads-up play with 7,125,000 to Moulder’s 5,875,000. It took about 90 minutes of two-handed action for a champion to be decided.

The two went back and forth for a bit, but Moulder eventually took the lead and ran with it. The final hand arose in another round of ace-to-five. Chan got all-in before the draws and found himself with a 4-2-A draw going into the last pull. He was in a tough spot, as Moulder had already made a 6-5-4-2-A after the second draw. Chan’s first card was a seven, leaving him drawing dead. The Canadian earned a career-best score of $115,073 as the runner-up.
