The ongoing Deltin Poker Tournament (DPT) May 2024 crowned another winner in Harshdev Jhirmiria. The young lad from Mumbai shipped his maiden High Roller title at the much awaited series for a sum of ₹34,30,180. Jhirmiria had recently scooped his first live trophy at Poker Dream 9 Malaysia. He won the Mystery Bounty tournament for over ₹33 Lakh. The DPT May 2024 Highroller title is Jhirmiria’s first live win on home turf.
We asked the Highroller champ about his thoughts on shipping his second live tournament and he happily replied saying, “It was a really good feeling to win my first title at the home ground and that too it being a Highroller event is like a cherry on top.”
The final table was a rather star studded one with names like Kunal Patni, Kanchan Sharma, Ashish Ahuja, and Myron Pereira grinding for the top spot.
