Birangat Singh Gambhir is the latest Indian poker player to make the Indian contingent proud of his achievements in the poker world. He shipped the Hyper Turbo event at the APT Manila Classic 2025, which began on February 9, 2025. The total prize pool was PHP 8,61,696, 85 players participated, and he took home PHP 236,696 (~₹3,53,775).
Information on Birangat Singh Gambhir remains scarce online, suggesting that this victory could be among his earliest achievements. Such a win is likely not only to bolster his confidence but also to serve as a source of inspiration for emerging players aiming to establish themselves in the competitive poker scene.
Earlier, Kunal Patni shipped the Mystery Bounty Event at the APT Manila Classic, and Raju Jaruplavath took home the Philippines National Cup. With around 100 events in the tournament, it remains to be seen how many Indians grab the headlines before the tournament winds up.
