Artur Voskanyan Eliminated in 2nd Place ($184,020)
Aug 9, 2012
In the end it took just two hands for the end to come. Marvin Rettenmaier moved all-in, Artur Voskanyan called and their respective hands were turned on their backs.
Rettenmaier: [Jd] [9d]
Voskanyan: [Ac] [Th]
Board: [9c] [8s] [4h] [Qh] [7d]
Rettenmaier hits his nine on the flop and wins the WPT Merit Cyprus Poker Classic, and in doing so becomes the first ever back-to-back WPT Main Event winner after winning the WPT Championship at the Bellagio in May.
Commiserations to Artur Voskanyan for his runner-up spot.
