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).

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.
