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 battle it out for the title. Farid Jattin commenced the day as the chip leader, with reigning WPT World Champion Dan Sepiol looking for his second title after his $5.3 million win.
In the end, Aram Oganyan emerged as the champion to win his first-ever WPT title and a whopping $214,245 after a three-way deal with Carlo Basurto (runner-up for $202,885) and Austin Srur (third for $188,670).
“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.”
WPT Voyage $5,000 Main Event Final Table Action
On the very first hand of the event’s final day, Marcelo Giordano bowed out after his pocket tens failed to hold against Sepiol’s suited Big Slick, which rivered a spade flush. Sepiol then eliminated Iman Dan who shoved pocket fours into ace-seven of Sepiol, who turned a flush to bust his opponent in eighth place. A few hands later, the short-stacked Kasey Mills bowed out after moving all in with pocket fives only to run into Basurto’s pocket kings in the big blind.

Mills’ exit in seventh place set up the official WPT final table of six. The popular Brazilian vlogger Romulo Dorea was the first player to leave the table in sixth place. He shoved with king-nine suited and failed to overcome Jattin, who made the call from the big blind with ace-three.
Despite scoring a couple of knockouts, Sepiol was the next player to fall. He exited in fifth place after he shoved on the turn holding pocket queens on a ten-high board. Jattin holding pocket eights called and spiked a straight on the river.
Down to four-handed play, Jattin four-bet jammed with Ah Ad and was called by the king-queen of spades of Basurto. With two kings on the board, Basurto hit a trip and busted Jattin in fourth place.
The final three players discussed a deal that saw them leave only $31,400 to play for, which included a $10,400 seat into the season-ending WPT World Championship. Finally, the trio decided to go for a blind flip to settle things. Oganyan tripled up in the first. In the subsequent hand, he had pocket deuces and hit a set to score a double elimination to win the WPT Voyage Main Event.
