Chipleader for most of the final table, Sasha Sabbaghian accepts the heads-up deal offered by Josh Prager and takes top honors in the $200,000 Guarantee $600 Champagne Main – the feature event in Uncork ’25, The Champagne Series hosted by TVPokerRoom inside Thunder Valley Casino Resort in northern California.
Sabbaghian, the reigning WSOP Circuit Graton Main Event champ, scores his second series main event title in the last five months. He defends his title next month at Graton, about two hours away from TVPokerRoom.
Having the table covered 6-handed, Sabbaghian (and others) declined numerous ICM offers from Lian Liu as final table action grinded away. Three-handed play saw Sabbaghian, Prager and Jason Lee exchange the chiplead many times.
Sabbaghian elimianted Lee in third place, played a few hands heads-up against Prager, tehn accepted the ICM deal Prager proposed. Sassaghian collects $46k and change, with $43k and change to Prager.
