Purohit took home INR 46,350 for his second-place finish. The third-place finisher Ankur ‘aryan89’ Aryan is also known and is in fact the brother of the winner and he took INR 31,500 for this finish.

Speaking to the champion, Akush Aryan said, “I am quite happy as me and my brother were in final 3 contestants. Ankur lost a big pot on pair of Kinds with a Jack kicker against Anant’s Queen kicker. Both of them were equal stacks and I was the shortest. So once Anant busted Ankur he had ~6x chip lead in HU. However, I played aggressively and doubled up to almost equal stacks in 20-25 hands. Heads up I took a call on K high, which gave me the lead I was looking for. I have played just 3 games in sss as I was on a lil break from poker rather i started playing sss yesterday only but now I guess I am gonna play few other games as well.”
