He has been one of the voices of the WSOP for 2 decades, along with another TV host, a nominee for inclusion in the Poker Hall of Fame, and longtime colleague Norman Chad. Both presenters took part in poker, and one of Chad’s notable achievements can be noted the finals of the Omaha pot limit event in 2012 in the WSOP series. However, McEachern won the title first.

Late in the evening on January 12, McEachern won the first title and joked about Chad in an interview: “Norman Chad has nothing like that. That’s all I had to say.”

“It wasn’t difficult. The tables were great. There is always a great atmosphere at the Senior Event. There were several huge hands at the final table. I put everything on the flop against the guy who has been my nemesis all day. He was a chipleader most of the day. I had diamonds A-K, and he had pocket fours. An ace and two diamond cards fell out on the flop, then I got another diamond card and took 95% of his stack. It really helped me,” McEachern said.

Ron Henry (1110 USD), Paul Richardson (1516 USD), Jena Venturini (1935 USD), Gregory Agren (2530 USD), Nathan Fitzgerald (3835 USD), Anthony Banuelos (4633 USD) and Michael Peters (6485 USD) alternately left the finals.

In the final hand, Norman went all-in with A-4 and came across an opponent’s A-8. J-9-5-2 appeared on the board. However, none of the players improved, and McEachern became the tournament champion.
