DPT Grand 2024 kicked off yesterday with the ₹40,000 buy-in Mystery Bounty Day 1. This event has set the pace for a very competitive Day 2. The event saw 137 entries, and by the end of Day 1, only 32 players remained in the fray, which gives us an idea of how competitive the play is turning out to be.
At the end of Day 1 last night, Ashwin Vijay led with the highest chip stack, followed by Kishore Kumar by a narrow margin. As Day 2 resumes today, we can expect some intense and extreme poker action before the event winner is crowned.
