Poker career

Stephensen is primarily an online Pot Limit Omaha cash game specialist playing stakes up to $25/$50 and on rare occasions $200/$400.

Prior to the 2014 WSOP, Stephensen had only two tournament cashes for a total of $22,118. He was in London with no intention of entering any events, but then miraculously won a $1,000 World Cup parlay bet on the Netherlands beating Australia precisely 3-2 with 60 to 1 odds. Netherlands defeated Australia 3-2 and Stephensen cashed for $60,000.[2]

With his new fortune Stephensen flew to Las Vegas, entered the WSOP Main Event, and ended up finishing runner up to Martin Jacobson losing to Jacobson's 10 10 with his A 9 after moving all in pre-flop. The board ran out 3 9 10 K 4.[3][4] It is believed that Stephensen would be taxed 50% of his WSOP winnings if he were to return to Norway.[5]

As of 2014, his total live tournament winnings exceed $5,100,000 most of which has come from his runner-up cash in the 2014 WSOP Main Event.[6] He received a sponsorship from Betsafe, an online casino brand owned by Betsson, the same year.[7]
