When I booked this chat with Espen, I had NO IDEA he'd won the WSOP Main Event (legit didn't know lol). But what he revealed about winning $10M was NOT what anyone expects...
Turns out winning millions can actually be a curse? The PURE TRUTH about what happened in those first 6 months (spoiler: he couldn't even access the money), the CRAZY people who came out of nowhere, and a SHOCKING hand against Chris Brewer that shows what really goes down at the highest stakes.
This Norwegian crusher went from gaming addict to world champion, but at what cost? The answer might surprise you...
