Sigurd Eskeland is a 36-year-old former teacher hailing from Oslo, Norway. He's previously cashed in two WSOP events, including the Main Event back in 2008 where he was the chip leader for Day 3.
It was a grueling day of eight different games that began at 3:00 p.m. with 20 players returning to action. Eskeland came into the day at the top of the bottom half of the field sitting in 12th position. When it was all said and done, 14 hours later, he was the only man left.
It may have taken a sick beat to deliver the final blow as Eskeland went runner-runner flush to knock off Steve Sung in second place, but Eskeland played his heart out throughout the day and the final table. He was given great respect by many of the others in the field and complimented numerous times. Eskeland was quick to return those sentiments and said to Sung after the final hand, "I hated playing with you. You are a great player, truly."
For the win, Eskeland takes home over $260,000 and captures his first WSOP gold bracelet! Congratulations to him and all the winners in this event. Until next time, this is the PokerNews team signing off. Get some rest because you know we will!
