Apart from Patel, two other Indians made the money in this event. Online and live reg Deepankur Gupta and PokerBaazi G.O.A.T. 2023 winner Arun Vijay Mutgi also grabbed cash prizes in The Closer. Gupta added VND 11,800,000 to his bankroll for his 21st place finish. Mutgi had a payday of VND 9,600,000 for claiming the 22nd position.
