Indian female pro Nikita Luther has added another title to her name at the ongoing Asian Poker Tour (APT) Hanoi 2023 happening at the VSOP Club, Hanoi.

In the process, she beat Russia’s Nikolay Ponomarenko in the heads-up to claim her first-ever APT title. This victory also pushed her up to the 15th spot on India’s All-Time Money List. Her total career tournament winnings now stand at $440,500.

The Russian player walked away with VND 60,680,000 for his runner-up finish.
