Nick Schulman won his career seventh WSOP bracelet, taking down Event #30: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw Championship at the 2025 WSOP.

For the victory, Schulman pocketed $497,356, pushing his live earnings past $23.7 million.

The $10K buy-in event attracted 233 entries, generating a total prize pool of $2,166,900, which was paid out to the top 35 finishers. Several well-known players made it to the money, including James Obst (29th), 17-time bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth (27th), three-time bracelet holder Alex Foxen (20th), WSOP Main Event Champion Huck Seed (17th), and six-time bracelet winner and Hall of Famer Brian Rast (14th).

Daniel Negreanu, a seven-time bracelet winner and Hall of Famer, finished in 7th place for $61,231. Dan Smith came 6th for $83,179. Ben Yu, a four-time bracelet winner, finished 5th and earned $114,989. Three-time bracelet holder Chad Eveslage rounded out the podium in 3rd place for a six-figure score of $231,321.

Nick Schulman faced Darren Elias, WPT’s all-time money leader who was still seeking his first WSOP bracelet. Schulman entered heads-up play with a 2:1 chip advantage, but the match was far from easy.

The heads-up battle lasted over eight hours, with both players delivering a gritty, strategic fight. The tournament concluded when Elias moved all-in with a ten-nine draw, and Schulman called with a pat ten-eight. Schulman’s hand held, eliminating Elias in second place for $336,421.

With this victory, Nick Schulman became a three-time champion of the $10K NL 2-7 Single Draw Championship.
