There’s good news for Indian poker fans as poker player Ankit Ahuja found a bag in the €1,100 Estrellas Poker Tour 2023 Main Event. Ahuja is the only Indian who progressed ahead.
He bagged a stack of 498K via flight Day 1D and is among the top five stacks qualifying into Day 2. Another Indian player named Apoorva Goel busted in flight Day1C.
Ahuja was among the 459 who were registered for the coveted event. The Main Event flight Day 1D saw 69 survive further into Day 2 and have made it in the money.
This is Ahuja’s first cash of the European Poker Tour (EPT). It would be interesting to see how Ahuja spins the game in his favour on Day 2. The Indian player is India’s only hope to ship the prestigious title.
When it comes to Indians grinding in the latest edition of EPT, we know that other than Ahuja and Goel, Jagdeep Singh will also be joining the poker action in Barcelona. We can’t wait to see this well-known pro in action.
