Jean-Luc Adam Wins WSOP Super Seniors Event, Beats 1,893 Players

Jean-Luc Adam won WSOP Event #58: $1,000 Super Seniors No-Limit Hold'em, collecting the $255,623 top prize and his first bracelet. The 69-year-old Frenchman bested a 1,893-entry field and was the only non-American to make the final table.

The Super Seniors event is for players aged over 60 years and traditionally sees a healthy sized field every year. Jean-Luc Adam already has a WSOP Circuit ring to his name—just like his son who won one only the week after, back in 2019.

The final day’s action saw 65 players return to the Rio Convention Center and after about seven hour’s play the final table was set. Jean-Luc Adam against eight Americans. The final table was a relatively short-lived affair with players falling by the wayside almost as quick as a trail of dominos. When it was down to heads-up the players were reasonably well-stacked but the chips still went in quickly, and Adam was to be the 2021 Super Senior champion.
