Eyster's victory pushes him over the $2M mark in winnings on the live tournament circuit. Add to that over $3.3M in earnings in online poker tournaments and it's easy to see why Eyster is doing so well for himself!
Although he will be happy with the cashout, Neuville will be disapointed in not becoming the second Belgian player to win a WSOP bracelet this summer. Davidi Kitai earned gold bracelet #3 at the start of the Series.
