The highly anticipated India exclusive tournament hosted by Natural8 India in association with Asian Poker Tour (APT) ended on a high note. The event was hosted on 11th February at 8 PM on Natural8 India. The tourney saw participation from players across bankrolls which is proof that this event was super inclusive in nature.
This APT Taipei 2024 India exclusive tournament by Natural8 India offered players free tickets and accommodation worth 90K each. Top three players were offered APT Taipei 2024 Main Event tickets (₹1.85 Lakh each) and the remaining three players would get tickets to the Mini Main Event (₹60K each) of the Asian poker series.
That’s not all, a share of the prize pool was also up for grabs! This was a deal players shouldn’t have missed for anything, and we have six players who made sure they grind and clinch the top spots. Let us have a look at the top six players in the India exclusive tournament to APT by Natural8 India.
The top spot was claimed by a player named Akshat Sharma. The second place went to online reg Nishant Kumar. Another well-known name in the Indian poker circuit, Vikaash Shah finished third. Mohit Bohra who shipped the APPT Cambodia Hypo Turbo title in May 2023 took the sixth place in this tournament which was a gateway to APT Taipei 2024 at a much lower cost.
