Trevis Devericks Wins Diamond Jo $50K Poker Bash
About midnight Saturday evening Trevis Devericks took down the Diamond Jo Poker Bash earning himself $12,469. Devericks outlasted a field of 229 entrants which was the largest ever in the Diamond Jo event center.
You may remember Devericks from the 2009 $70K at Diamond Jo where he finished 3rd for just over $4K.
The final hand of the night was 3-handed. With the blinds at $40K – $80K and $4K ante, Devericks with roughly $2 million in chips folded on the button, Bennett Wadekamper shoved all-in for $700K from the small blind with Kh8h. Minnesota Poker Magazine’s Bryan Mileski, $650K, called with As6s. The flop brought a K for Bennett eliminating Mileski in 3rd place.
Devericks and Wadekamper immediately worked a deal to end the 14 hour long tournament.
Wadekamper was excited for the hefty pay day and plans to pay for his entire last year of college with the winnings.
Photos and complete results (24 places paid) will be posted Sunday night.

Congrats, Bryan. I thought you’d be busted out right after me. That was an ample patient there my friend.
I got uncomfortable there when you (pro)sat next to me, man. That’s why I’ve made that classic moved.
See you later, Buddy.
