Coming into the 2018 World Series of Poker, Aditya ‘Intervention’ Agarwal had nearly $1 million in live cashes and many years of experience of playing at the WSOP. The Team PokerStars Pro was one of India’s best cashes of winning a WSOP gold bracelet and he hasn’t disappointed so far.
He’s had 5 cashes so far in this series, with combined earnings of around $20k and a best cash of $6,482 for finishing 45th in an NLHE Event. He is now all set for his biggest cash of the series, having made it to Day 4 of Event #48: $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em Monster Stack.
He came into Day 3 as one of the chip leaders, and proved why he is one of India’s best, running well on this third day of play as well. The tournament had a massive field of 6,260 entries and at the end of today’s play, just 29 survivors remain, who have just bagged up to return tomorrow.
Agarwal has a medium stack at the moment, with the current pay-out at $28,841 for 28th place.

However, he will certainly have his eyes on that mega prize of $1,037,451 reserved for first place.
Agarwal ended the day with nearly 2 million in chips, with the day’s chip leader having a 5:1 lead over him. Indian origin Canadian player Shyam Srinivasan is also in the mix with a slightly bigger chip stack than Agarwal’s while Indian origin US player Nipun Java cashed out in 126th in the tournament, for $6,794. 2-time bracelet winner Steve Billikrakis is the only one on the final table with a previous WSOP gold bracelet.
