The IIT and IIM alumni shipped PokerStars India’s Bounty Builder HR (₹2.41 Lakhs) before clinching the NPS silver medal behind Garg in NPS#55 Monster Deepdive (₹2.27 Lakhs), crossing ₹8 Crores in online earnings.
Dhaval Doshi came out on top in NPS#53 Slam Dunk to collect a personal-best ₹2.59 Lakhs, with Adarsh Subham placing runner-up for ₹1.82 Lakhs.
