Sam Soverel

Biography

Sam Soverel is an American poker player from Florida who has amassed more than $26 million in live tournament earnings, putting him second on the state's all-time money list behind Sean Winter. Soverel is a three-time WSOP champion.

Just a month after getting his first tournament cash, Soverel finished second in the 2011 $3,500 WPT Jacksonville Main Event for $187,762.

Soverel quickly moved up in stakes and now primarily plays a high roller schedule. In October 2016, Soverel took down a $100,000 Aria Super High Roller for just over a million, his biggest tournament score to date. Soverel became a regular in High Roller and Super High Roller events in the United States and around the world. As of July 2025, Soverel has two seven-figure scores and an impressive 81 cashes worth $100,000 or more.

Like most poker players, Soverel dreamed of capturing a WSOP bracelet. He achieved that goal in 2016, taking down the $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event for $185,317 and his first bracelet. The Floridian became a two-time WSOP champion in 2023. Soverel triumphed in the $5,300 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller Championship online event for $393,516.

Soverel completed an impressive hat trick at the 2025 WSOP. He won the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed Championship for $986,337 and his third WSOP bracelet.
