His railbirds' shirts, black with conjoining colors of German and Iranian flags, called Hossein Ensan a "sure bet."
For most of the 2019 World Series of Poker Main Event final table, he looked like just that. Ensan entered with a massive lead and only strengthened his grip on things over the course of the first two days, toting 63 percent of the chips into three-handed play.
It took him about nine hours and things got a little rocky at times, but Ensan closed the deal. He eliminated both Alex Livingston and then Dario Sammartino across a little under 200 hands of play, securing the historic bracelet for the 50th running of the WSOP, as well as $10 million and poker immortality as the next world champion.
He called the moment, the culmination of getting through a field of 8,569, "unbelievable."
"It is the best feeling I have in all my life," he said, grinning the smile that seems eternally etched on his features.

My favourite poker player was The Devil Fish , Dave Ulliot .
For entertainment value , I also like Phil 'The Poker Brat 'Hellmuth .
I would say though that if I needed someone to play a game of poker for me in which
my own life was at stake , I would choose Daniel Negreanu .
I've always been impressed when I've seen him play .
I enjoyed watching the late night poker when it was on channel 4
about 15 years ago or so , but I've not really seen it since .
