$10,000,000 WSOP Main Event Winner Hossein Ensan
Hossein Ensan has won the World Series of Poker Championship and $10,000,000! Ensan started the final table with a chip stack that doubled his closest challenger and no one could catch him. Ensan, a German poker pro, beat the field of 8,659 players to take home the bracelet. The 55-year old is the oldest player to win the Main Event in 20 years. Noel Furlong was 61 when he won the 1999 WSOP main event. Second place and 6 million went to Sario Sammartino and everyone who made it to the final 9 won at least a million in prize money.
The WSOP main event $10,000 buy in started on Wednesday, July 3rd. The massive field of 8,659 was divided into 3 starting flights over 3 days. The full remaining field combined on Day 3 on July 8th and played down to the final 9 on Day 7. After a press day off on Saturday, the official final table started Sunday evening. Hossein Ensan held the lead and maintained the lead throughout play on Sunday and Monday. Four players were eliminated Sunday night, and another two on Monday, leaving Sammartino, Ensan, and Livingston to battle it out for the bracelet on Tuesday, July 16th.

The main event of the World Series of Poker is $10,000 with no rebuys.
It's a big tournament with very slow blind structure so that gives an advantage to seasoned players. In other words, it's a long tournament.
