After a deal was struck between Gaurav Kalra and Vinay B to end the Big Bounty NLH tourney, both players grinded for the trophy. Kalra triumphed over his rival and grabbed the coveted WPT Prime India 2023 Big Bounty NLH for a prize money worth ₹6,70,000.
It was a long battle in the Big Bounty NLH where online and live poker reg Vinay B finished as runner-up. For the unversed, Vinay and his heads-up rival Gaurav Kalra struck a deal to end the tourney and fought for the title. Let’s take a look at Vinay’s bust out hand which led to Kalra winning the shiny new Big Bounty NLH.
Vinay (K ❤ 7 ♠ ) from the button goes all-in and Guarav (T ♦ 8 ❤ ) makes the call. The board ran out A ❤ 5 ❤ J ♦ T ❤ 3 ♣. This gave Guarav T-pair which was good enough to thrash Vinay’s dream of winning a WPT Big Bounty title. Vinay finished 2nd for ₹6,63,000.
The two finalists have decided on a two-way deal after playing the heads-up for almost two hours now. According to the deal, Gaurav Kalra will take home ₹6,70,000, while Vinay B will have ₹6,63,000 to carry home. However, the two players will continue to play for the title and the coveted WPT trophy.
The heads-up battle is set at the WPT Prime India 2023 Big Bounty NLH with Vinay B leading against Gaurav Kalra with most than double his stack. Vinay B sits with a stack size of 49.15 Million chips, while Kalra has 23.2 Million chips at his disposal.
Online reg Advait Rajguru had to pack up from the Big Bounty tournament after busting at the hands of Vinay B. Yes, once again it is Vinay who showed his opponent the door. What happened? Keep reading further to know what action unfolded. Rajguru (K ♦ Q ♦ ) from the button position went all-in. Vinay called holding A ♣ T ♣ from the small blind. The board ran out a Q ❤ 3 ♠ 8 ♦ 4 ❤ A ❤ . Vinay hits Ace-pair on the river. This was Rajguru’s cue to get and leave on the 3rd spot for ₹3,54,000.
And we have yet another player who was shown the door by the brutal live poker player Vinay B. This player has been collecting bounties steadily after knocking out players one after the other. In this hand, Vinay goes all-in from the small blind position Q ♣ 3 ♣. Harikrishna Reddy from big blind position calls with K ♠ 9 ❤ . The dealer opened the board as: 9 ♦ T ❤ Q ❤ 8 ♣ 5 ♦ . Vinay’s Q-pair holds and his rival is shown the door at the 4th position. Reddy took home a pay cheque of ₹2,21,000.
Two players have now exited the super intense Big Bounty NLH. The tourney saw two players, namely, Zerxes Mistry and Ravi Prabhakar. Zerxes and Mistry’s journey ended in this event when Vinay B played the perfect villain (he knocked out both the above mentioned players).
Vinay made sure the final table is lighter with these two eliminations at his hands, and now the pro has inched closer to the top prize of ₹7.83 Lakh. While Mistry left at the 8th place for ₹98,000 Check out the hand where Vinay B hits a flush to drown his rival Prabhakar.
Prabhakar had K ♠ J ❤ and goes on all-in preflop. Vinay sits with 8 ♣ 8 ❤ and follows suit. Guarav Kalra folds. The dealer reveals the board as: J ♣ K ♣ 5 ♦ 5 ♣ 7 ♣ . These cards gave Vinay a flush and with that his rival’s dream of winning the Big Bounty event were thrashed. Prabhakar left at the 6th pace for a payday of ₹1,41,500.
And we have an elimination in the Big Bounty NLH event which lets other remaining players inch closer to the top prize and a shiny new trophy. Take a look at how the bust out hand unfolded.
Cyrus Sidhwa goes all-in with 400K holding Ad ♦ Qh ❤ . His rival Advait Rajguru (6d ♦ 6c ♣), makes the call with pocket sixes. The community cards fell Qs ♠ 8c ♣ 4d ♦ Jc ♣ 6s ♠. The online reg Rajguru hit a set with his sixes and Sidhwa’s hand (Q-pair) was rendered useless. Sidhwa took the 7th spot for ₹1,19,000
