Espen Jorstad Wins 2022 World Series of Poker Main Event for $10,000,000

Norwegian Espen Jorstad has won the 2022 World Series of Poker Main Event for $10,000,000 after an enthralling final day display at Bally's & Paris, Las Vegas. He defeated Australian Adrian Attenborough heads-up to top a field of 8,663 players, the second-largest in WSOP history.

Attenborough would have to settle for $6,000,000 while third-place finisher Michael Duek takes home $4,000,000.

Jorstad becomes the first Norwegian to win the WSOP Main Event, going one better than compatriot Felix Stephensen who finished as runner-up in 2014, overtaking Stephensen at the top of the Norwegian all-time money list in the process.
