After winning the 2022 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event for $10 million, longtime poker pro Espen Jorstad dove headfirst into the world of Super High Rollers, traveling the high-stakes circuit from Cyprus to South Korea and firing $100,000 and $200,000 buy-in events.
But the two-time bracelet winner took a step back this year from the game he's played since 2004, skipping this summer's WSOP in Las Vegas to focus on the finer things in life: meditation, mental health and connection with others.
"I didn't play much poker (this year)," the Norwegian told PokerNews. "Poker has kind of been an all-in adventure for a lot of years now. And it was nice to take some time off and ... work on myself a little bit more, just focus on health, fitness, relationships."

Denys Chufarin opened to 10,000 in the hijack, and Yu Zhang made the call on the button. Miguel Capriles came along in the small blind, and Daniel Rezaei tossed in a call from the big blind.
