Sriharsha D Wins DPT Colossus 200k Super High Roller

Day 1 of the SHR ended with Madan Kumar in the lead and 22 players left, while Day 2 ended with Sriharsha Doddapaneni in the lead and 9 players surviving. Sriharsha played well on the final day of the 200k SHR, kept his lead and eventually shipped the tournament, taking home a career-best live cash of INR 28,70,000.

Sriharsha has been a popular player in the online poker circuit but is slowly making a name for himself in live poker tournaments as well, having recently finished 3rd in April’s Baadshah Gaming Live’s High Roller Event and taking home INR 6 lakh. This DPT win was quite an achievement for the poker player, beating the likes of Vivek Rughani, Abhinav Iyer and Raghav Bansal on the final table.

Bollywood actress Minissha Lamba, who finished second in the warm up event, finished third here for a payout of INR 14,36,000. Just like the warm up event, this event ended with both players going all-in pre-flop. Sriharsha held Q-J while Meherzad Munsaf had A-4, as the board opened J-5-10-2-6. This didn’t provide any assistance to Munsaf and gave Sriharsha the title with J-pair.

1. Sriharsha Doddapaneni – INR 28,70,000
