Espen Jorstad won the World Series of Poker Main Event on Saturday at Bally’s Event Center.
Jorstad defeated Las Vegas resident Adrian Attenborough in an entertaining heads-up match to claim the $10 million first prize. It is Jorstad’s second career WSOP bracelet. He is the first player from Norway to win the $10,000 buy-in No-limit Hold’em World Championship.
Attenborough, a native of Australia, earned $6 million for second place.
Michael Duek, who is originally from Argentina and now lives in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, finished third and took home $4 million.
The Main Event, which began July 3, was the second largest in history with 8,663 entrants.
