UMA Poker is one of the up and coming poker sites in India. They started sometime last year with just a dollar and a dream and have gone on to host some tournaments and series that’ve become popular among the poker aficionados of the country. We even had a chat with one of its founders and CEO, Prashray Rai about the company’s roots, its future, etc. You can read the interview here.

In an effort to make more people aware of this mind sport and to encourage playing it, UMA Poker announced the Lucky Hearts tournament, which had a guarantee of INR 15 Lakhs, but in the form of Ten INR 1.5 Lakhs Vegas packages to play in the world’s most prestigious annual poker festival, World Series of Poker (WSOP).
