At the 2019 World Series of Poker, Ensan entered the final table of the Main Event as the overwhelming chip leader. Backed by a boisterous rail he came out on top and became world champion.

“It is the best feeling I have in all my life,” he said at the time.

Later that year, Ensan made another deep run in the EPT Prague Main Event but ultimately finished 14th.
