The 4-day long struggle with poker enthusiasts boosting their bankrolls and few others bagging their first-ever live titles, yesterday wrapped up Day 2 of the most-awaited INR 15K Main Event at the luxurious Casino Deltin Royale and Deepak Raina clinched a handsome INR 7 Lakhs in prize money.

The entire tournament fetched 192 entries and final day resumed with the 24-year old Anuj Laddhad leading with 23 hunters taking their seats to grab the winner’s title.

Undoubtedly, the casino floor was lit with some of the prominent names like Myron Pereira (12th), Karan Sawhney (13th), Harshad Barve (17th), Kshitij Kucheria (21st) who left the table quite early on Day 2.

Dhaval Doshi dropped out at 8^th position, picking up his third FT finish in the current series. Chirag Sodha, who entered the showdown with second largest stack was railed out by Deepak Raina.
