Espen Jørstad is a professional poker player from Norway who recently made history by becoming the first player to successfully defend his World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event title. On November 22nd, Jørstad won his second consecutive WSOP Main Event, taking home the $1.5 million top prize.
Jørstad’s win was even more impressive considering the fact that he was up against a record-breaking field of 8,569 players. It was also the largest prize pool in WSOP history, with a total of $82,512,425 up for grabs.
In addition to his impressive WSOP victory, Jørstad also recently won the $5,200 SCOOP (Spring Championship of Online Poker) event. This win earned him an additional $1.2 million in prize money, bringing his total winnings for the year to over $2.7 million.

Jørstad’s success is a testament to his skill and dedication to the game. He has consistently proven himself to be one of the best players in the world and his recent wins are just further proof of that.
