U Series of Poker (USOP) kicked off its event in Da Nang on 19th March 2024. This is Part 1 of the Da Nang series which is being held at Pullman Beach Resort. The series, which will draw curtains on 1st April 2024, witnessed a large number of players from across the globe marking their attendance.

In this heavy-duty tournament, Iyer managed to finish as the chip leader on Day 1. The VND 88,000,000 (~$3,620) buy-in event had 133 entries on its first day. Day 2 had a total of 194 entries (128 unique).

Talking about the winner, this victory was Kharman’s first live poker title, maiden six-figure cash grab and first time at an USOP event.

In the final hand Iyer played on the final table, he got dealt J8s against his rival’s K4o. Both were short stacked and were looking to add more chips to survive ahead. Sadly for Iyer, his J8 did no good on a board of 5 ❤ 4 ♠ 5 ♣ A ♣ 5 ♦ . The Mumbai lad was eliminated in fourth place.
When it came to the Super High Roller, this event turned out to be quite gruelling, with the final table running for over six hours. But in the end it was all worth it for the top place finisher.
