It was indeed Agarwal’s day, as he entered Day 2 of the Main Event with not one, not two, not three but four stacks. And guess what?! All his four stacks made it in the money at this event. One of his stacks just survived the bubble and took the 765th spot for the min-cash of ₹20,120. Three of his stacks ran deep, with one busting at the 21st place for ₹1,71,020, while two of his stacks made it to the final table, taking the first and eighth place respectively. For the eighth-place finish, he cashed an additional ₹6,28,750.

His total winnings from the Main Event alone stood at ₹65,93,104. Now that’s what ending a Main Event like a boss looks like!

Agarwal continued to dominate the final table by gradually chipping up and showing his chip-lead dominance, especially when the table was down to the final four players. 

When the game was down to the final four, Grover asked his opponents if they wished to check the numbers. Prakash and Vedantham obliged, while there was no response from Agarwal. However, after Prakash busted in the third place, the final two settled for an ICM deal.

Aditya Agarwal: Closely Missing The Crown

While we talk about Agarwal finally adding The Crown title to his name, we’re reminded of IOPC July 2021 Main Event. Prior to this, Agarwal had narrowly missed The Crown during the July 2021 edition, wherein he finished runner-up to Vaibhav Temani. The heads-up saw Agarwal holding a 10:1 chip lead over Temani. Later, Temani managed to turn the tables and ship the IOPC July 2021 Main Event The Crown. Back then, Temani had laughed his way to the bank with ₹57,26,064, while Agarwal had settled for ₹33,20,756.
