Indian origin poker player Bhavin Khatri shipped 888poker’s Live London Main Event (ME) hosted at Grosvenor Victoria Casino. The tournament had 642 players who generated a prize pool of £513,600. Khatri outlasted 641 players and took home £126,340 in prize money. This win is Khatri’s largest tournament score. A slice of the prize pool was shared among the 68 players who finished in the money.
Khatri was leading with a massive chip lead of 117 blinds as compared to Shah Athar’s 42 big blinds. The latter became the runner-up for £89,620. The final heads-up of the game saw Athar limp with an A5 while Khatri raised with KJ. A queen-high flop kept the game interesting. A nine on the turn and a 10 on the river gave Khatri ME winning straight. The last three months have been quite eventful for Khatri. He clinched the 29th position in the £ 1,800 + 200 No Limit Hold’em – GUKPT Grand Final event hosted on 2 December and cashed £ 5,650. Likewise, this player took the 40th spot in the £ 330 + 40 No Limit Hold’em – GUKPT Mini Main Event. He received a pay cheque of £ 1,000 in this event hosted on 21 November.
