Check out what Espen Uhlen Jørstad had to say

Speaking with Triton Poker after the win, Espen Uhlen Jørstad said, “I think I did my very best ( at the final table). Was pretty focused and watched every hand, so I am happy about the performance. But of course, I did not play perfectly, but ya, here we are.”

“It’s a wild tournament, with so many hands, in a bounty format. The final table was very cool, with a lot of interesting characters on the table. Very tough table, of course. We were down to three-handed, and it was like me, Chidwick and Ivey. I am playing three-handed versus two of the biggest legends of the game, which is very gratifying, very cool. I was just enjoying the moment, and it was a wild three-handed.’

When asked if he accepts the title of being amongst the greatest players in the industry, he reacted by saying no. Espen Uhlen Jørstad added, “I wouldn’t say that; I still have some stuff to prove yet. I think like the people that are consistently in the top, like winning one-two tournaments is cool.”
