Singh, Gala, Goenka progress to Big Wrap PLO Day

King’s Casino is currently host to one of the exciting poker festivals happening in Europe. The Big Wrap, which began on 1^st April, will run till 8^th April 2019 and had a slew of interesting tournaments with all kinds of formats and buy-ins to suit the variety of players that come to the venue. Most of these tournaments have already declared its champions.

3 Indian pros, Jagdeep Singh, Gaurav Gala, Manish Goenka fared well in one of the Big Wrap PLO tournaments, and reached Day 2 but were unfortunately busted before the bubble. They subsequently signed up for another PLO event later in the series.

Big Wrap PLO €1 million GTD kicked off with a buy-in of €2,350 and attracted 317 total entries (including 79 re-entries). The field, till Day 2, eventually whittled down to 170 progressors. Out of the 170, Robert William James Cowen of UK became the chip leader with 1,057,000 chips at King’s Casino.

Leading the pack of Indians was Singh, at 10^th in overall chip counts with a stack of 568k. He played some amazing poker, and given his preference for PLO over other formats, it wasn’t surprising that he finished in the top 10.

Gala finished 101^st in the overall chip counts with a stack of 208,000 chips. Goenka, one of the organizers of TIPS which ran for its 2nd edition recently which was also held in King’s Casino, also qualified as the 3^rd Indian to progress to Day 2 at 151^st in chips counts with 100,000 chips. All 3 of them progressed from Day 1B.

Gala recently finished on the FT in one of WPT Barcelona events, along with Singh who took 7^th position for ~INR 4.54 Lakhs. India’s Abhishek Goindi finished 2^nd in the same tournament for a good pay-check. All three will play Day 2 today with Singh with an above average chip lead.
