German poker pro Hossein Ensan (53) was in the news again this week, following his EPT 12 main event win in Prague with a victory in the main event of the World Series of Poker Circuit at King’s Casino in Rozvadov, Czech Republic.
672 players registered for the Euro 1,650 buy-in event, creating a big enough prize pool to enable 71 of them to cash. Big names in the field included Phil Hellmuth, Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier, Brandon Cantu and Carlo Savinelli…none of whom made the final table
Four days into the event Ensan was dominating the opposition, eliminating six of the final table players on his way to the heads up with fellow German player Jan Timo Jobmann (28). Both qualified for the World Series of Poker Circuit Casino Championship in 2018 as part of the WSOP Circuit rankings.
After dismissing third placed German pro Rifat Gegic for Euro 83,407, Ensan went into heads up play with a massive chip advantage, and it took just two hands for him to eliminate Jobmann for Euro 116,444.
Other final table cashes included:
Davit Okropiridze Euro 65,691
Pavel Stolar Euro 51,615
Viktor Kovachev Euro 40,315
Michael Magalashvili Euro 30,356
Viliyan Petleshkov Euro 21,163
