We’ve lived in a democratically governed, independent nation for 75 years. If that’s reason enough to celebrate, Pocket52 has added to the patriotic feel for poker players with a bevy of giveaways. The most notable of them is the fifth edition of its popular Pocket Poker Championship (PPC), which began on Sunday, with a mouth-watering ₹1.61 Crores guaranteed across 49 tournaments.
As the tournament action runs hot on the site, stepping up the ante even more is THE PATRIOT leaderboard race. Running alongside the PPC, this leaderboard will bring out the poker loyalist in you, offering big prizes to the most consistent players across select PPC flagships!
