Avadh Shah leads final 13 at BPT 15k Kick-Off Event

Leading these survivors is past Spartan Millionaire winner Avadh Shah who takes forward a stack of 616,000 chips to Day 2 of the tournament. His lead came about mostly because of a double elimination of Shravan Chhabria and Ashit Sharma towards the end of the day. Trailing him in chips at the moment is Charush Bhatia who has a stack of 609,000.

27 players from this field were to share the prize pool and the bubble burst towards the end of Day 1 with Devendra Singh heading out in 28th place. From there, everyone was guaranteed at least INR 30,100 in prize money. When they resume today, the minimum payout will resume at INR 51,100 for 13^th place. Also in the action is Shawn Jose who recently finished runner-up in the PPL MoneyMaker tournament.

Some of the known faces to bust before the day ended were Sajal Gupta (27th), Vinod Megalmani (23rd), Siddharth Karia (20th), Meherzad Munsaf (19th), Shravan Chhabria (18th), and Laksh Pal Singh (14th).
