Pulkit was declared the winner in the 2020 GGPoker World Series Of Poker International Circuit just a few days ago. Among the 1,041 entries that came in, Pulkit made it to the top and took home $82,052. Prior to this victory, Goyal has several other remarkable wins too. In early 2020, he cashed in at five WSOP tournaments, including three at the Rozadov and two at GGPoker’s WSOP Online Bracelet Events.
Goyal’s achievement stands out as he is following what fellow Indian players Kartik Ved, Aditya Sushant, Nikita Luther, and Nipun Java achieved. All these players have won the WSOP bracelet at least once.
The recent victories of Salas and Goyal have left a remarkable impression on the Indian and International poker communities. To read more about poker players and their achievements, keep reading GutshotMagazine.com.
