Hossein Ensan
Muenster, Germany
wins $10,000,000 and
WSOP
World Championship |

Germany’s Hossein Ensan outlasted Italy’s Dario Sammartino
and Canada’s Alex Livingston to claim the $10m title early on Wednesday at
the 50th World Series of Poker Main Event in Las Vegas.
The 55-year-old,
who was born in Iran but moved to Germany 30 years ago, became the oldest world
poker champion in 20 years when he finished off Sammartino after nearly eight
hours of play at the final table. It’s the first time since 2014 the
winner has come from outside the United States and the third time the title has
gone to an Iranian-born competitor.
“Unbelievable,” said
Ensan, who now lives in Greven, Germany. He was making his first appearance in
the Main Event with a previous total of $2.67m in career earnings. “I am
so happy. I thank my fans at home in Germany, also in Iran and my fans, my
buddies here. This is the best feeling in my life.” He claimed the winning
hand when Sammartino pushed his chips all in at 1.24am on Wednesday at the Rio
All-Suite Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.
Ensan and
Sammartino exchanged numerous smiles and a congratulatory fist bump at one
point in a good-natured contest. Sammartino won $6m for second place after the
11-day tournament, which started with a field of 8,569 players. Livingston, a
former chess champion, pocketed $4m for his third-place finish.
Ensan,
who also won a diamond-encrusted gold bracelet, entered the final night with a
commanding lead holding 60% of the chips in play among the three finalists.
Sammartino took the lead briefly for the first time late on Tuesday more than
three hours into the final round and Livingston was eliminated about 15 minutes
later. But Esan stormed back to take the lead and never looked back on his way
to becoming the oldest champion since Noel Furlong won the title in 1999 at the
age of 62. |
