We have a 2022 World Series of Poker Main Event champion.
It’s Espen Jorstad, who went head to head against Adrian Attenborough and ended up with the champion’s bracelet … and $10 million.
And the hand that ended it all was pretty intense.
Let’s break it down: Jorstad started by calling with Queen-2 and Attenborough simply checked the big blind with Jack-4.
The flop couldn’t have been worse for Attenborough: 2-4-2 giving Jorstad three of a kind and two pair for his opponent. Jorstad simply bet four million, Attenborough raised to 14 million, Jorstad re-raised to 32 million and Attenborough called.
An 8 on the turn led to a check from Attenborough and Jorstad bet 62 million. Attenborough called.
The river? A QUEEN. Oh boy. That’s a full house for Jorstad. Attenborough is done for but doesn’t know it. He checks. Jorstad thinks about it and goes ALL IN. Attenborough calls, the cards get turned over … and Attenborough curses, knowing it’s all over.
Check it out (and WARNING: NSFW language in there!):
Espen Jorstad puts Adrian Attenborough into the tank once more.
This time, Attenborough cannot find the fold.
With his full house, Jorstad claims victory in the Main Event and the $10M first-place prize.
