Hossein Ensan, a 55-year-old professional poker player from Germany, emerged from a starting field of 8,569 to become the new World Series of Poker Main Event champion and take down a first prize of $10 million. Ensan outlasted Dario Sammartino in a 100-hand heads-up session during which he held the lead almost the entire time. On the final hand, Ensan had K-K to Sammartino’s 8-4 suited. The first four community cards gave Sammartino flush and straight draws, but neither came in and Ensan’s kings took the all-in pot. In what has turned into a distinctly young man’s game, Ensan is the oldest player to win the Main Event since 1999. Sammartino pocketed $6 million as runner-up.
