Khanna had J8s and Chopra was playing with 8 ❤ 9 ♣. Chopra went all-in and his rival called from the big blind position. The hole cards were revealed and the dealer was ready to fan out the board. The community cards fell as: 2 ❤ T ❤ J ♦ 6 ♠ 9 ❤ . This gave Khanna Jack-pair which handed him the win and placed Chopra second.
The fight for the Warm-Up NLH Turbo title was not an easy one, with some of the top pros grinding for the number one spot and glory. Dawer was the final table chip lead while Khanna with his 250K stack was able to spin the game in his favour to ultimately nail the tournament.
Other notable players in the field who couldn’t make it were Chirag Sodha, Radhika Shankar, former DPT Warm-Up winner Alok Bhatt, online reg Abhishek Sonu, Faiz Alam, Dhaval Mudgal and Adda52 game ambassador Maria Kirloskar.
