It took him about nine hours and things got a little rocky at times, but Ensan closed the deal. He eliminated both Alex Livingston and then Dario Sammartino across a little under 200 hands of play, securing the historic bracelet for the 50th running of the WSOP, as well as $10 million. Ensan called the moment, the culmination of getting through a field of 8,569, “unbelievable”. “It is the best feeling I have in all my life”, Ensan said and we can all imagine why.

A champion has been crowned in the final event of the 50th Annual World Series of Poker! Britain’s Carl Shaw defeated Tony Dunst heads-up for $606,562 and his first ever gold WSOP bracelet. This event attracted 608 players in total who created a prize pool of $2,827,200 with 92 players getting paid.
On the side, Phil Hellmuth and Shaun Deeb multiplied their good results yesterday but neither of them won the title of “2019 WSOP player of the Year”.
