Sapra spoke to GutshotMagazine.com earlier today, “I managed to come back twice from being down to under 10 big blinds. At the start of the FT, as the shortest stack, it was not easy. But managed to find a double up and after that, it was smooth sailing. It was a good heads-up match. I just ran good in the HU and managed to get value from my big hands. The field was good and I’d love to see some more freezeout tournaments with bigger buy-ins.”

He outlasted Kartik ‘TheInternetKid’ Ved in the final round of the tournament who is also very renowned poker player on the circuit. Ved collected INR 96,900 for his second place finish.

Speaking about his run in the tournament, Ved said, “TheSpartanPoker is offering the best-guaranteed tournaments, leaderboards and more. A fun environment overall for all tournament lovers!”

In the final hand of the tournament in Level #37 with blinds running 8,000-16,000-2,000 where TheInternetKid had 9h Qd and mrgr33n was holding 3s 3h. Pre-flop action saw both the players going all-in and pushing their chips into the middle.
