WSOP 2022: Brewer, Firefighter, and Lawyer Battle for World Champion Title


The final table of the WSOP 2022 main event will feature ten players instead of the usual nine. The broadcast of the main event will begin at midnight Moscow time on June 16th, with commentary by Andrei 'Kot_Spartac' Kotelnikov and Ilya Gorodetsky.

Espen Jorstad, a 34-year-old Norwegian, is one of the chip leaders with 83,200,000 chips. He won his first bracelet in a team event with Patrick Leonard and is a professional poker streamer for Unibet Poker. Espen has a degree in brewing and worked as a technologist at a brewery.

Matthew Su, a 34-year-old from Boston, is one of the least experienced players in the top ten. He learned to play poker while studying law at Boston College. Aaron Duchak, a 40-year-old from Kamloops, British Columbia, owns a company that hires and trains forest firefighters. John Ims, a 33-year-old from Southport, has won a WSOP Circuit ring and has over $2.2 million in offline winnings.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
