By the time the Main Event champion was crowned on July 16, 90 events had been played - an all-time record. And who is that Main Event champion? 55-year-old Iranian/German Hossein Ensan, who became the oldest player to win the Main Event in 20 years. Ensan defeated Italian pro Dario Sammartino heads-up to collect a dazzling $10 million first-place prize - part of the proceeds of the second-biggest WSOP Main Event of all time.

$50,000 buy-in Anniversary Special Tournament
$1,000 Mini Main Event
$400 WSOP Colossus (lowest buy-in ever)
$10,000 Short Deck Holdem Event

I got the bracelet, it feels pretty surreal actually ... I always said I’m not going to quit before I get a bracelet. I had one close call before, I got fourth.

You have to have good cards or a good setup and I just ran so good and had two times aces in the last hands. All of my friends were here. It was incredible. I’ve never seen that before.

I think it's pretty obvious I wear my heart on my sleeve when it comes to the WSOP and what it means to me. I have six or seven bracelet bets, a few for more than others, so just to bring those home [was nice]. I live for the pressure and I wanted it. Now that I have those taken care of and I know I can't lose no matter what happens to all these other players out there that I have bets against, that's a relief. I'm freerolling those. Maybe I can get another and punish them a little more."

I've watched a lot of poker. To win it right after commentating the $50K kind of makes sense. It's a great reminder: Watch these streams if you're trying to learn. Watch. Analyze. And play along. It's one of the best ways to get better outside of playing."

I think they're really fun, really interesting games. Also, a lot of it for me is effort. These are a lot of the games I love the most, so I feel like I'm giving my most focus. People like to pretend otherwise, but it really does matter in poker. When you're trying to bring your A-game no matter what, it really does help a lot."

Quote: "The first bracelet is the one that obviously is the life-changing one for any poker player. I wish I could say I feel the same way, but there is no way to feel that same bliss that the first one brings. But this one I am very proud of because I have been practicing specifically Omaha hi-lo for the past two years, so I was actually really excited to play this specific event going into the WSOP. So it's pretty cool when you work really hard on one particular game that you love and then it works."

Quote: "It was fun to play in. Once we got into the money, I was thrilled no matter what happened. I would've been happy cashing out $1,500, $2,000. When I got to the final table today, quite frankly, I said if I finished in fifth I don't care. I mean, it's still $100,000. This is still more than anything I could've ever imagined. Honest to God after playing three hands with Will (Givens), I was terrified to play him heads up. I couldn’t even fathom this. I would have been happy with second, I would have been happy with third, this is unreal."

There were three other tough players at the final table and they got knocked out early, and I felt like it was my tournament to win or lose from that point. It feels amazing. My goal this summer was just to make a final table and the first final table you make, you win a bracelet. That’s unreal."

I knew stuff might happen. People might get chips and I might get short. [But] I feel real confident in PLO, even short. … Everyone gets real impatient in PLO when they're short-stacked, and it causes them to make some crucial mistakes. People will justify it as coolers, but they're really getting the money in at twenty or thirty percent [to win]. There's a lot of spots you can avoid."

I had been running really bad, but starting with one and a half big blinds, I ran very, very well, winning every pot, winning a lot of pots with no showdown. Then when I had three million, or about half the chips in play, I was super comfortable. Everyone else was super short and I started to put pressure [on them] and everything worked.”

I try really hard to detach from the bracelet and everything around it. I’ve been here a lot of times and had a lot of heartbreak over the years too, so I try and just put that as much out of my mind as possible."

Quote: "My main game is PLO. I'm a PLO cash game player online, and I also play No-Limit Hold'em tournaments. So it's like the perfect format for me, because I have an edge against Hold'em players that don't know how to play PLO, as well as the opposite. I wanted to play the $25K PLO but I went to deep on this one, but it’s OK I guess."

Quote: “It was a very tough duel, especially for me. He played so well, and I played so poorly, he really did not get what he deserved. He made every right decision and I made every wrong decision, and it was just bad luck for him at the end. I played a very good tournament, up to that point, but I really needed luck there when it got to heads-up. He played great the whole time. I believe I did as well but he clearly had me without the luck. That's how it goes.”

I have been close to winning a lot of times so I just tried separating myself from those feelings, even when I had a 6-to-1 chip advantage I wasn't thinking about the possibility of winning, I was just focusing on playing my best poker."

Quote: "There is a group of fellows in what they call Anthem Ranch. It's an excellent, excellent game, and I have to be honest: Most of my poker was not Hold'em poker. So the game at Anthem Ranch has really helped me. Hold'em was something new to me over the past two to three years. I always understood that I would come to Vegas and play it, day in and day out. I've played poker for most of my life and I think Barry is a very strong player, I feel very very fortunate and I feel very elated."

Quote: “That shootout helped me a lot. I was so close I tasted the bracelet. I kind of played a little too fast three-handed. Coming here I realized, I’m just going to take my time and just be in the moment and play my best game ... I knew I was going to have another shot at it. I’ve been playing poker for a long time and felt like it was long overdue. It’s awesome. Overall, that’s what poker players play for is the bracelet. To have one now, it’s on my resume and it feels good.”

A lot of these tournament pros I don't even follow, I just know they are tough. I came with my own style. The only way to win a tournament is to have no fear. I do everything off, unorthodox. Old school is all I know. My dad played poker for a living, and it has been in my blood since the seventies."

Poker pros Shaun Deeb and Matt Glantzfinished in second and third, respectively
Super High Roller Bowl commentator and WSOP bracelet winner Nick Schulmanfinished 6th

Quote: "This year definitely means more (than last year). Being able to repeat in what I still believe is the most difficult of the $10k's to play. The players who I love playing with in these tournaments are the no-limit big-bet players. Several players, they're phenomenal, but when you get them playing hands in Badeucey and Badacey, they don't know the basics. It's free chips in a lot of situations. Whereas no-limit, they'll have a tiny edge but I don't have to play a pot whatsoever unless I have it, but if you can't help yourself and you don't know what the starting hands are, I'm going to win so much more than you could ever win in a no-limit hand."

So, he was probably the most dangerous opponent for me."

Quote: “I’m super-duper excited. As you can see. I’m not doing what James Obst did and trying to reg some $500 tournament ... I did have that feeling of dread when I had a big chip stack at the start of the final table. Then I felt like I was sort of back in the pack. I did have a bit of, ‘oh here we go again.’ But straight away after dinner like three people just turbo busted. Then I was like alright I’ll just go cash game mode and see what happens."

Quote: "This is unbelievable. I don’t even know what to say. I’m totally in shock, honestly. I was just staying alive, barely, missing all my hands, getting three-bet a lot and having to fold. And I got lucky in two key spots. In any tournament with 5,900 people you have to get a little lucky to win. I had some pretty tough opponents and I just tried to stay as focused as I could."

Poker pros Upeshka da Silva and Angel Guillen were also at the final table

Quote: "If I speak to a lot of people around, I won't be very focused and I will be oriented in value and I won't have enough bluffs to balance. I'm not focused and I'll just fold without thinking. If I'm not in the hand, I have to see what people are doing, the sizing they use, the way they're acting. I don’t want to say I think I was the best. I was pretty sure what I had to do and people didn’t put me to tough decisions."

It's been my dream and I've gotten very deep in tournaments three times. Finally, I've gotten first place. I'm very, very happy! There is nothing like playing poker with friends. That’s my saying. Whether I take a hit, or I didn’t take a hit, I was smiling and I was having fun. That’s what poker should be.”

The final table was stacked with top professionals including Dario Sammartino, Scott Clements, Mikhail Semin, Matthew Gonzales and Phil Galfond

Quote: “Being a little bit older, I don't really love poker as much any more. It's more of a grind and stuff for me, right? Sitting a long time at the table. But winning one a long time ago, and not really caring as much, I was like, 'You know what? I want to win one again ... I put a lot of effort into not so much studying the game but into my own physical and mental state. I got really fit and was able to endure the hours and do the right things. I said five days ago when I posted on Instagram that I was going to final-table an event ASAP. I didn't know it would come this quick and I didn't know I would win the bracelet. It feels amazing."

My dad's the smartest guy I know. He's super-good with money. I just give it to him and he takes care of it for me. They're going to help me buy my first house, which is pretty sick. Now I'll have to buy a couple more, just for the tax write-off."

Quote: "It was a tough table but I think the experience helped me out a little bit from, you know, a lot of tournament experience. I feel like I had a pretty good edge on the players in certain spots where they probably wouldn't play hands. I played those hands where I know they're going to fold and that way I can win a lot of antes and bring-ins."

I guess I was saving the win for the bracelet. I don’t feel like I need to win a ring now, because I have one better ... I like how PLO seems to be getting more popular every year. I think it’s a lot more fun than Hold’em so I think it’s cool that more people are getting interested.”

It's much more complicated than a lot of the other games where the math comes in so much. This game, it's the read of the player. It's so difficult to make a hand; you rarely make a hand. Most hands, somebody's bluffing, or somebody's calling a bluff. … That's what makes it the greatest poker game.”

Notes: This is the first WSOP bracelet for John Gorsuch, a 42-year-old from Florida who was down to less than two big blinds seven handed before launching his epic comeback

Gorsuch said he hadn't won a poker tournament outright since 2013
This is Gorsuch's first entry on The Hendon Mob poker database
When Gorsuch was short he went all-in blind. He shovedUTG and won with two pair. The next hand he was in the big blind with pocket nines, got in a three-way all in pot and flopped a set

Quote: "I'm a poker player for right now. Poker is awesome. I can play poker all day, all night long. This kind of helps figure out whether or not I want to keep doing it. I don't play cash stakes at all. You've got to run good in tournaments otherwise your cash flow dries up quick if you don't supplement it with cash [games]."

Today I sprinted in the hallway of the hotel and I thought: when I get to the end of the door, I'm going to stop there and visualize the bracelet. I did that sprint and I saw it…"

Quote: "It kind of gets the monkey off my back. Now I can play poker without having that on my mind," Green said after the win. "I tend to do well when I play pro-heavy fields... I know most of the guys who play $10Ks are pretty good players. In a turbo, though, there's a lot of flipping too, not a lot of post-flop poker. Still, a win's a win, it's hard to win a poker tournament."
