Nishant Sharma Has A Great Poker Dream 17

Nishant Sharma, the poker giant who earlier created poker history by shipping back-to-back-to-back Main Events that he participated in, also has another claim to fame at Poker Dream 17.

He was a significant part of Poker Dream 17 and took a substantial amount of money with him from the Bounty Events he participated in. He first took the most enormous bounty of Event #54 Mystery Bounty High Roller, an impressive amount of MYR 135,000, and his bounty run didn’t end there. 

Not only did he take the most enormous bounty, he even took the second-largest bounty of MYR 71,000, and then two more of MYR 6,600. He also made the winner’s list, standing in 3rd place, taking home MYR 88,000 for his collective efforts. All in all, he received a whopping MYR 219,200 in bounties, totalling MYR 307,200 (~₹50 Lakh). The total prize pool of the event was $272,235, and only 17 out of the total 122 players were in the money (ITM).
