Gagandeep Malik, Deepankur Gupta Are Champions at USOP Hai Phong


Indian poker players are having a rollicking time at the felts at 2024 U Series of Poker (USOP) Hai Phong series, with multiple players finishing in the money and even many final table listings. Two new names were added to that elite list recently, with Gagandeep Malik and Deepankur Gupta shipping side events and bringing home the first of the titles at USOP Hai Phong. 

Last night, Malik shipped Event #48 VND 4.5 Million 5-Card PLO, and won his first USOP trophy, taking home VND 82,611,000 (~₹2,81,124) in prize money for his efforts. The event saw a total of 74 entries, and the prize pool was VND 278,240,000. Malik took the lion’s share, this being his fifth cash and second final table appearance in the series so far.

The final table saw another Indian, Anmol Mehta, who finished 3rd and took home VND 35,000,000 (~₹1,19,000). Yet another Indian player won a cash in this tournament and that was Chirag Sodha, who finished 9th in the cash list, taking home VND 8,300,000 (~₹28,244).

Deepankur Gupta wins a title in USOP Hai Phong

Another Indian player joined in the fun, Deepankur Gupta, who headed the winner’s list by shipping VND 4 Million Event #49 Hyper Turbo. The prize pool for this one was VND 389,160,000, and Deepankur had most of that pie—taking home a pay cheque of VND 112,000,000 (~₹3,81,134). Here, the field was 115 entries and from them, 14 players were paid out.

This is Deepankur’s second ITM snag at Hai Phong. His previous one was the VND 11 Million Event #28 Mini Main Event. He ranked 53rd and took VND 32,000,000 (~₹1,08,895). The top payout of that event was taken by Ilia Timofeev of Russia, and that amounted to VND 1,25,32,47,000 after a 5-way ICM deal.
