Neilson has enjoyed a stunning year on the live circuit, claiming various high roller titles at WPT Cambodia, APT Manila and APPT Manila โ€“ not to mention his third-place finish for US$900,000 at WSOP Paradise just shy of a year ago in December 2023. In total, his live earnings in 2024 alone had totaled more than US$830,000 before this latest win, which now rockets him past the US$1 million mark since the turn of the year.

Neilson pocketed another US$201,500 in Florida, topping the field of 184 entries to claim his second SHRP title having previously won a $1,650 purple-chip bounty tournament in 2018.
