Christian Jeppsson Wins WPT Online Championship for $923,786 After Heads-up Deal

Sweden's Christian Jeppsson has become the latest WPT Champions Club member after winning the very first online WPT Main Event on partypoker. He wins $923,786 after topping a field of 398 players.

Jeppsson defeated Russia's Viktor Ustimov heads-up after an entertaining final table streamed live on partypoker's Twitch channel.

After doubling up early, Ustimov was responsible for five eliminations at the final table, but it wasn't enough to break free at the top of the counts. Both he and Jeppsson tracked one other throughout the contest, before making a heads-up deal leaving $10,000 for the eventual winner.
