The third and final day of the WPT Voyage $5,000 Main Event saw the final nine players from a 293-entry field return to play down to a winner. Farid Jattin began the day as the chip leader, while reigning WPT World Champion Dan Sepiol was looking to follow up his $5.3 million win with a second title.
However, when the dust settled it was Aram Oganyan who emerged as the champion for $214,245 after a three-way deal with Carlo Basurto and Austin Srur.
“I feel amazing,” Oganyan told Vince Van Patten after the victory. “This is so fun. This is like unbelievable, won some flips at the end. Got some bluffs through and here we are we got our name on the trophy.”
“I feel like it’s nice to win it, but I still don’t 100% feel like I actually won it, because of the flipping,” Oganyan told the WPT after the tournament. “I feel like it would have been nice to play it out, and it would have felt more of like a real deal championship. But they wanted to chop it, and I always take someone asking to chop as a compliment, like, ‘Hey, I think you’re good at poker and I don’t think I have a big edge over you.’ So we just agreed to cut the variance down, flip for the championship and here we are.”
