Take a look at the DPT Nov 2022 High Roller winner and runner-up posing with their respective trophies. Congratulations to both the players!
Sanat Mehrotrahas shipped the title after beating Ashish Ahuja in the heads-up. Mehrotra held A ♣ 7 ♠ against Ahuja’s Q ♣ T ♣, on the board of 3 ❤ 3 ♠ 4 ♣ 7 ♦ 6 ❤ .
After a long three-way play, the game is now to the final two contenders. Shashank Shekhar raised to 240K from the button with A ♣ Q ♣ and received a caller in Ashish Ahuja who held Q ♠ 7 ♦ in the big blind. The board showed Q ♦ 6 ♠ T ♦ keeping Shekhar in the lead. Ahuja checked and Shekhar bet 180K. Ahuja flat called to see 2 ♦ on the river. Ahuja again checked and this time Shekhar bet 560K chips and was tank called by Ahuja. The 7 ♣ river, Ahuja checked and Shekhar shoved his 1.9 M all-in. Ahuja called, and Shekhar suffered a bad beat and walked away with the second runner-up title. GG, Shashank!
The final three players, Ashish Ahuja, Sanat Mehrotra and Shashank Shekhar have chopped and settled on a three-way independent chip model (ICM) deal. According to the deal, Mehrotra will cash the highest ₹37,57,900, Shekhar will pocket ₹36,44,476, while Ahuja will walk home with a pay cheque of ₹31,94,000. However, the three players will continue to play for the title and the trophy.
Online reg Kanchan Sharma gets eliminated in the 4th spot for ₹16,90,303. In a hand that was AJ vs AK, Sharma went all-in with her Big Slick but her rival Ashish Ahuja (like we mentioned previously was blessed) found two Jacks on the board and took down the pot which led to the female pro’s elimination.
At this stage in the final table Sanat Mehrotra and Shashank Shekhar both are leading with 4.3 million chips. Take a look at the updated count.
Ashish Ahuja (AQs) and Shashank Shekhar (AKo) went all-in and the pot stood at 3.2 million. With Ahuja throwing in a vibe of ‘I’m not lucky, I’m blessed’ both the players ended the hand in a chop as the board revealed Qs Kc Jh Tc 4h!
The play is moving ahead slowly and cautiously and no player wants to make an error that will cost them the DPT Nov 2022 HR title. Take a look at the chip counts below.
Kanchan Sharma, Sanat Mehrotra, Ashish Ahuja and Shashank Shekhar continue to battle it out for the DPT Nov 2022 HR title.

This well-known player from the Indian poker circuit busted from the DPT Nov 2022 High Roller event at the 9th spot. Kanishka Samant takes a pay cheque of ₹5,05,413. Take a look at Samant’s bust out hand below.
On Level 23, blinds: 25K – 50K/ big blind ante 50K, two-time IPC Main Event champion Kanishka Samant (Kh 3h) went all-in with 260K and the lawyer turned pro Ashish Ahuja (Ah Qs) made the call to up the preflop action. The dealer fanned out 4d 6c 7s Js Ts which led to Ahuja winning the hand with an Ace-high and sadly for Samant it was game over.
Areyann Gurbaxani takes the 10th and a pay cheque of ₹3,69,098.
16:55: Arsh Grover couldn’t get his chips back. Busted 12th
Previously we reported how Arsh Grover lost a big pot and now the pro has been eliminated from the DPT Nov 2022 HR at the 12th spot for ₹3,69,098. Grover posted this update on his Instagram handle and he will now look to come back stronger in the Main Event.
Eliminations continue in the High Roller event and looks like we will have the final table set pretty soon. Sanjay Reddy left the High Roller tourney at the 13th for ₹3,04,087. Stay tuned for live updates.
On Level 21, blinds: 15,000 – 30,000/ big blind ante 30,000, the end of Day 1 chip leader, Shashank Shekar opened with 60K from the button position. With nothing much left in hand, Gopi Krishna went all-in with 5K. The player in the big blind position folded after thinking for a bit and the hand was to be played between Shekar and Krishna. The community cards fell 5h Qd Ac 9s 10s and with that Shekar got his Ten-pair and his rival was already looking at the exit door.
Online reg Tanmay Benara took the exit path from the DPT Nov 2022 High Roller event after busting in the 16th position for ₹2,57,949. Benara busted at the hands of Areyann Gurbaxani. Take a look at the hand below. On Level 21, blinds 15,000 – 30,000/big blind ante 30,000, Tanmay Benara shoved 110K from the cutoff and his rival in the hand Areyann Gurbaxani made the call from the big blind position. The board revealed 3 ♣ 2 ❤ 2 ♠ A ♣ 4 ♦ (a straight draw on the board was interesting to see!) and Gurbaxani got his two pairs to survive and Benara busted as his hole cards and the board did him no good.
The winner of the fourth edition of Final Table Series (FTS), Arsh Grover has shared an update about him losing a big pot. Grover shared this update on his Instagram handle and looks like this pro will have to do some damage control ASAP!
It is poker pro Kanchan Sharma’s birthday and this poker dynamo is grinding hard for the top spot. As the game gets more fierce, it would be interesting to see how this pro stifles competition for the High Roller title.
Arsh Grover has turned on his beast mode and you need proof we’ve got it. The popular pro has shared an update on his Instagram handle wherein he shared the update on his chip stack and may we say, we are utterly impressed. Take a look below.
IOPC Jan 2021 Main Event winner Laksh Pal Singh was shown the door by female pro Kanchan Sharma. Singh lost a flip against Sharma and exited at the 24th spot with a pay cheque of ₹2,01,326.
Well, you are not alone. We all are waiting to see how Day 2 turns out and most importantly the winner!
Shashank Shekhar will be the player everyone is looking at. He is the chip lead at the end of Day 1 of the DPT 1.1L High Roller. Will he maintain his chip lead? We shall wait and watch.

Both the players reveal their hole cards and sadly for Goindi his pocket kings don’t hold water against Reddy’s ATs on a board of A ♣ 2 ♣ 7 ♠ 5 ♠ 3 ❤ .

Adda52 pro Arun Sriram open shoved to 27.4K from the cutoff, only to be called from the button by Vikas Shah. Sriram showed A ❤ 6 ❤ , while Vikas flipped fish hooks. The board revealed Q ♣ 6 ♦ K ♣ 8 ♦ 2 ♠. Vikas took down the pot with his pocket jacks and Sriram had to walk away.
The DPT Nov 2022 ₹1.1 Lakh High Roller has some high intensity action unfolding. So far the reported entries stand at 180 and the count is expected to go up. Two more levels to go and the event will have the official number for its player field.
At Level 10, blinds: 800 – 1,600/ big blind ante 1,600, Meherzad Munsaf open shoved with 27K from under the gun and Ritesh Khatwani also shoved with 94K from the middle position. Remaining players on the table folded and the hand went into a showdown between Munsaf and Khatwani. The community cards fell A ♣ J ♠ 6 ♣ 4 ❤ 2 ♦ . Munsaf got J-pair but Khatwani was ahead with his Ace-pair and with that it was time for the former to bid adieu to the High Roller.
At Level 10, blinds: 800 – 1,600/ big blind ante 1,600, Siddhanth Kripalani (pocket kings) opens with 3.5K. A player from the button position calls. Abhishek Goindi (AQo) takes the all-in route from the small blind position with 51K. Kripalani tanks for a while and then makes the call and the player in the button position folds. The board of 4 ❤ 4 ♣ 3 ♦ A ♠ 3 ♣ does no good to the IPC Megastacks May 2022 ME winner while Goindi has the last laugh as he finds an Ace on the turn to get the better hand.
At Level 9, blinds: 600 – 1,200/ big blind ante 1,200, a player opens with 2.4K from the hijack and another grinder calls from the cutoff position. From the button position, Karan Kapur (7x 5x) also matches the bet. The came to Nishant Sharma who raise to 12K from small blind which leads to players in hijack and cutoff fold. Sharma checks the river of 5x and Kapur shoves. After some tanking Sharma makes the call. The community cards fell in the favour of Kapur who got a three of kind but sadly for Sharma it was game over.
At Level 8, blinds: 500 – 1,000/ big blind ante: 1,000, former DPT High Roller winner Aayush Arya limped from the cutoff with AQo. From the small blind position, Siddhanth Kripalani raises to 13K with pocket queens. The player in the UTG position calls and Arya takes the all-in route. UTG player folds and the IPC Megastacks May 2022 Main Event winner matches the bet. The board reveals Jh 5h 9s 2d 8S. The Ladies sure gave Kripalani a win.
Now that Kunal Patni is back in the game, we are hoping that this pro will turn things around in his favour. Well, people do say, “Third time’s a charm.”
It is FTS 3.0 winner Ankit Wadhawan’s birthday today and looks like the pro is enjoying his time grinding. Shardul Parthasarathi shared an update on his Instagram handle wherein the birthday boy is seen all smiles.
Adda52 Game Ambassador Kunal Patni is out of the DPT Nov 2022 1.1L High Roller race. The pro busted on Level 8 when Rajashekhar Puttamsetty’s pocket aces smashed Patni’s KJo hand.
Krishna Seetharaman is leading the chip count at the second break, followed by defending champion Aayush Arya with 151K chips. The third spot is shared by Archit Khandelwal and Rajasekhar Puttamsetty, who sit with 145K chips each.
Ramesh Rao Thotapalli, fondly known as RRT, has shot the third bullet in the DPT Nov 2022 1.1L High Roller. Will ‘third times the charm’ prove to be correct for RRT? Well, let’s wait and watch!
Two massively popular pros from the Indian circuit have marked their attendance in the DPT Nov 2022 High Roller event. Kripalani previously took down the IPC Megastacks May 2022 Main Event, while Luther was runner at the Adda52 Colossus 2022 Main Event.
The organisers of DPT Nov 2022 extended the break. Why? To witness the iconic India vs England semi final clash. The organisers had put up a huge display screen for players to enjoy the match on a big screen. Poker coach Abhishek Goindi shared the extended break scenes on his Instagram handle.
While all the high-stake pros are grinding at the ₹1.1L buy-in High Roller, a few players who were seen grinding for the past two days have taken a day off the felts to enjoy the tourist life in Goa. Harsh Bubna shared a picture of the serene Goan beach, while Harsh Dev Jhirmiria was seen enjoying a scrumptious meal. Take a look below.
Yes, you guessed it right. We are talking about poker coach Abhishek Goindi. The pro has shared an update on his Twitter handle about his stack in the ongoing High Roller and you cannot miss it! Take a look.
Around 58k after the first break! Blinds moving to 300/500/500!
