Kevin “1sickdisease” Eyster Wins WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic for $1,587,382

In April 2013, Kevin "1sickdisease" Eyster topped a field of 542 to win the World Poker Tour Seminole Hard Rock Showdown for $660,395, which came the same month he won the FTOPS XXII Event #34: No-Limit Hold'em Six Max Reentry for $333,680. This weekend, Eyster etched his name on the WPT Champions' Cup for a second time by taking down the 14th edition of the Five Diamond World Poker Classic at Bellagio.

The tournament attracted 639 entrants – making it the second largest in event history – and awarded Eyster a career-high $1,587,382 first-place prize.
