Winner during the 50th WSOP commemoration event. - German Poker Expert Wins 2019 World Championship Title!
Going from Taxis to Poker Green Tables!
It's almost that time of year again, when the WSOP (55th World Series of Poker) kicks off in Las Vegas from May 28th till July 17th. The highlight no doubt is the Main Event, which runs from July 3rd till 17th.
A rather remarkably notable player this year is Hossein Ensan, who hails from Iran but now makes his home near Münster, Germany. Prior to his wild success in the world of poker, Ensan made a living by running a taxi business. He's been playing poker since 2005, though he didn't regularly compete in live tournaments until 2014.
Hossein Ensan's most prestigious accomplishment is winning the World Championship in 2019 at the 50th WSOP in Las Vegas. During the final against roughly $10 million, he outplayed both an Italian named Dario Sammartino and a Canadian called Alex Livingston.
Not only does Ensan excel at playing poker on green felt, but he's earned worldwide recognition for his fair play at the tables. He also shares his winnings with friends and family. In fact, Ensan's poker career has already netted him around $14 million. At the recent Triton Highroller Series held in Montenegro, he pocketed nearly $400,000.
