Seat 5: Artur Voskanyan - 2,030,000 chips

Artur Voskanyan
Artur Voskanyan

Artur Voskanyan is the dark horse of this final table. The 34-year old from Russia does not have much live form, but has been playing superb poker. In fact during yesterdays play, Voskanyan, was not responsible for any of the 12 eliminations and has earned his chips through some well timed value bets and great post flop poker.

Voskanyan's biggest pot came against the then chip leader Kiryl Radzivonau. Voskanyan nailed a {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{9-Spades} in a three bet pot holding {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and managed to take a huge chunk of change off the young Belarusian that sets him up nicely for the final table.

Lynn Gilmartin spoke with Voskanyan during a break yesterday:

Thanks to the WPT for this player profile.
