Byron Kaverman is no stranger to success in tournament poker. However, despite years of grinding major events across the globe with tremendous results, the elusive first-place finish still evaded him. That changed on Friday, though, as Kaverman earned his first World Series of Poker bracelet in Event #37: $10,000 Six-Max No-Limit Hold'em Championship.
With nearly $4.3 million in career winnings prior to today's final table, Kaverman was already a respected grinder on the live circuit among his peers. This marked his 20th career WSOP cash, but he's made his presence known primarily on the World Poker Tour, where in Season XII he cashed a tour-leading seven times, including a runner-up showing in the WPT World Championship for $727,860.
