The final week of January pulsated with high-octane poker action, proving the game’s pulse remains vibrant across live and online tables. While eyes focused on the World Poker Tour’s (WPT) historic Main Tour debut in Phnom Penh’s opulent NagaWorld Casino, online platforms like Natural8 India and PokerBaazi hosted intense MTTs, keeping adrenaline levels up. And who could forget the adrenaline rush of Adda52’s 15 Crores GTD Adda52 Online Poker Series (AOPS) – Goa Edition, igniting the scene with high-value challenges for poker enthusiasts?

The WPT Cambodia 2024 was a resounding success, featuring a 44-event schedule and marking a significant milestone for the brand in Asia. Team India stole the show, claiming two titles, making 17 final table appearances, and racking up a staggering 42 cashes.

Germany’s Konstantin Held grabbed the headlines with his victory in the inaugural WPT Cambodia Championship, pocketing a whopping $361,310, a seat at the season-ending WPT World Championship, and etching his name on the prestigious WPT Mike Sexton Champions Cup. Joshua Mccully (2nd for $277,291) and Florent Remi (3rd for $211,819) also secured significant finishes thanks to a three-way deal.

Sapra, a veteran known for conquering high-stakes tournaments like Spartan Poker’s IOPC The Crown and PokerBaazi’s NPS HighRoller, displayed his mastery again. Coming off a 3.5-month title hiatus since winning Adda52`s Godfather DPT Edition in October, Sapra faced a daunting field of 356 contenders (205 unique) in the 8 PM AOPS Sunday headliner with two bullets. Following an epic nine-hour clash, he emerged victorious, claiming the day’s second-largest score worth a hefty ₹6.87 Lakhs, the fourth of 26 exclusive AOPS trophies and his second Millions title. This triumph not only marks his first title of 2024 but also propels him closer to the prestigious “₹4 Crore Club” in recorded profits!

Sapra’s dominance extended beyond the AOPS trophy, with a total Sunday haul of ₹6.96 Lakhs thanks to another cash finish in PokerBaazi’s (1000X) BSS SuperStack.

But Kapoor proved a worthy adversary, pushing Sapra to the absolute limit and nearly snatching the AOPS Millions title. Riding a scorching hot streak from his dual Thursday victories and consecutive final table appearances since, Kapoor secured a respectable ₹5.04 Lakhs for second place. This feat wasn’t just about the money; it saw him cross the significant milestone of ₹8 Crore in tracked online winnings! Even more remarkable, he achieved this with a phenomenal ROI of over 458X, having secured the event entry via a mere ₹1,100 buy-in satellite.

Kapoor’s Sunday rampage didn’t stop there. He accumulated a staggering ₹5.89 Lakhs across platforms, fueled by the AOPS Millions runner-up finish, another final table appearance, eight deep runs, and a bounty score. This performance further solidifying his lead in the annual TLB (points) leaderboard.
