Season XI – Roy Reigns Victorious
Rewind a few years, and the 2012 WPT Montreal saw Jonathan Roy come through a 1,173 player-field to win the $3,300 Main Event for $779,210. The result for Roy was only his seventh recorded live cash at the time, and the Canadian’s victory came just two months after a ninth-place finish at WPT Malta.

Roy was among good company with just three players remaining and found a way to defeat both Jeff Gross and Pascal Lefrancois. Gross, of course, is currently part of partypoker Team Pro, with Lefrancois going on to win the partypoker MILLIONS Grand Final Barcelona Main Event for €1,700,000 in April 2018.
Season XII – Rosenbarger Bags the Title
The televised final table saw Derrick Rosenbarger from Clovis, New Mexico take the $500,824 first-place prize as well the championship belt. The Air Force jet pilot navigated his way through 862 players, despite starting the final day with the second-lowest stack with 33 big blinds, compared to three players who began with over 100. Rosenbarger bested eventual Season XII WPT Player of the Year Mukul Pahuja heads-up to win after holding with pocket queens against ace-four of diamonds.
Season XIII – Jubilation For Jaffe
The WPT returned to the Playground Poker Club in November 2014 and saw American Jonathan Jaffe defeat Ratharam Sivagnanam heads-up to win the Main Event for $409,657. Season XII runner-up Mukul Pahuja, who has over $5.2m in recorded live earnings, took the bronze medal, as Kevin MacPhee banked $131,777 in fourth place.
Season XIV – Mahoney Makes It
A year later, WPT and partypoker joined forces, and the Main Event saw Jared Mahoney top a 697 player-field to seal the title alongside $341,332. That year it was Darryll Fish who was the unlucky player to depart during heads-up but received a $229,258 consolation prize for his efforts. In third place was one of the few European players who made the money-places, with the in-form German Rainer Kempe awarded $147,599.
Fish recently made up for his defeat by taking down the Season XVI WPT Lucky Hearts Poker Open and finally become part of the WPT Champions Club, while also taking second place in 2018 partypoker MILLIONS North America Main Event for $937,221.
Season XV – Glory For Poker Legend Sexton
2016 was the year for a man that needs no introduction in the world of poker – Mike Sexton.

Ciel grabbed the papers out of the man with ginger hair's hands and examined them.
The current partypoker chairman has over $6.6m in live earnings and entered the WPT Champions Club, having appeared at several WPT Main Tour final tables. Poker Hall of Famer Sexton banked $317,817 for his heads-up victory over Benny Chen, and once again wrote his name into the poker history books.
Season XVI – Heroic Heroux
The Season XVI Main Event final table saw two-time WPT Champions Club member Eric Afriat reach his sixth Main Tour final table, ultimately taking fifth place after David Peters had exited in sixth. Maxime Heroux was the hero after he topped the 606 entrants and collected the $317,554 first-place prize.
Season XVII – Serda Shines Through
On a final table that featured the likes of Sorel Mizzi, WPTDeepStacks winner Upeshka De Silva, and two-time WPT Champions Club member Jonathan Little, Patrick Serda surged to Main Event victory, watched on by his fiance Lisa and newborn son, Henrik, and picked up the $652,801 first-place prize.
Ema Zajmovic was looking to secure her second WPT title on her fourth final table appearance but fell at the last thanks to a battling display from the new father, Serda.

Art Papazyan may not be a name known to poker fans everywhere, but the remarkable speed with which he joined the two-time World Poker Tour champions club suggests that might soon be changing.
Just about a month after he won WPT Legends of Poker for $668,692, Papazyan defeated a field of 561 to win WPT Maryland Live! for $389,405.
According to the WPT, Papazyan is the 26th two-time champion in the tour's venerable history and the eighth to accomplish the feat in a single season. Grosvenor casino leicester poker.
Papazyan also jumps out to a big lead in the WPT Player of the Year race with double the points of his nearest competitors. Just last year, Ben Zamani got fifth in the very same event to all but seal the honors. Papazyan is well on his way to doing the same, as it will take a very strong performance to catch him.
Official Final Table Results
Place | Player | Prize |
---|---|---|
1 | Art Papazyan | $389,405 |
2 | Zachary Donovan | $262,930 |
3 | Tom Reynolds | $168,990 |
4 | Randal Heeb | $120,165 |
5 | Grigoriy Shvarts | $92,015 |
6 | Timothy Chang | $76,620 |
WPT Maryland Live! Main Event featured two starting flights and carried an ambitious $2 million guarantee. The 561 entries caused it to fall about $150,000 short of that total, so players got some added value for their money. Some players who banked on that value but did not make the final table included Darren Elias, Sam Grafton, Dan Heimiller, Aaron Mermelstein, Andrew Brokos, Ari Engel, Christian Harder and Papazyan's fellow Legends final table competitor DJ Alexander, profiled here by PokerNews.
Matt Glantz and Zachary Gruneberg were the two players to bubble the unofficial final table of nine, the former losing a race and the latter the victim of a mild beat when his lost to Phong 'VIP' Nguyen's all in preflop.
Papazyan and Nguyen then played a big pot on a flop with Nguyen jamming for about 17 big blinds holding for a flush draw. Papazyan had the big blind special though for a pair and a couple of blockers, and the turn and river kept him best.
After Kenny Nguyen and Joshua Gordon busted in eighth and then seventh, respectively, the official final table was set and players bagged for the final day with Tom Reynolds leading and Papazyan in third with just under 3 million at 25,000/50,000/5,000.

With blinds up to 40,000/80,000/10,000, Zachary Donovan opened for a raise to 180,000 and Papazyan three-bet to 600,000 in the small blind. Randal Heeb made it 1,580,000, and Papazyan called. The last 3 million went in on the flop when Heeb shoved, but his tens were no match for Papazyan's aces.
That gave Papazyan about 9.5 million of the 16.5 million or so in play. Donovan was able to close the gap to less than 2-1 when he eliminated Reynolds, the latter shoving a board of with and running into Donovan's .
