Aram Oganyan pulls off a double elimination to win the WPT Voyage Championship

The last three players in the WPT Voyage Championship made a deal that left them to play for the trophy and extra prize money. In this playoff, Aram Oganyan knocked out both of his opponents at the same time to take home the top prize.

The WPT Voyage is currently underway on the Valiant Lady, where it has also brought the WPT Voyage Championship with a $5,000 buy-in and a $1,000,000 guarantee. With 293 entries, the prizepool here has reached $1,347,800.

Who is sitting at the final table?

The $285,800 prize awaited the winner here, and that's what the last 9 players at the final table fought for on the night. They were led by Farid Jattin with a stack of 3,650,000, which represented 91 blinds. However, reigning WPT champion Dan Sepiol, who dominated the Main Event in Las Vegas in December and took home more than $5.2 million, also made the final table.

Marcelo Giordano was the first to leave the final table, taking home $28,000 for 9th place. Iman Dan finished in 8th place for $34,000, followed by Kasey Mills ($42,000) at the cashier.

Sixth place went to Romulo Dorea, whose $55,000 payday is the highest tournament payday of his career. In fifth place was Dan Sepiol, who picked up $75,000 on the cash. He was followed there shortly after by original chipleader Farid Jattin, who notched up a straight $100,000.

Dealing agreement

After he was eliminated, the final three players started talking about the deal. The players eventually shook hands and the deal was done. All that was left to play for was the name on the trophy and an extra $31,400 for the winner. Included in that sum was a $10,400 entry into the WPT Championship at Wynn Las Vegas.

  • Carlo Basurto - $202,885 (5,975,000)
  • Austin Srur - $188,670 (4,575,000)
  • Aram Oganyan - $182,845 (4,100,000)

The players were already blind-playing after the deal, and we saw Aram Oganyan triple up on the very first hand. On the very next hand, Oganyan hit a set with his deuces to send both of his opponents out of the game at once. Aram Oganyan was the winner of the WPT Voyage Championship and took home $214,245.
