The lawyer-turned-poker pro dazzled his way to victory in the day’s biggest-guaranteed tourney, the ₹1.25 Crores GTD FTS #44 High Roller, clinching his third FTS title for a career-best ₹28.66 Lakhs! He chopped the title with Ram Mohan Sharma, who took home an equally impressive ₹24.04 Lakhs in second place.
