Bhavin Khatri Ships 888poker Live London ME For £126,340

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.
