AUD 1,150 Terminator

Vinod Megalmani is someone who’s sending shockwaves in the Indian poker community. He won The Spartan Poker’s Millionaire title for INR 25 Lakhs in December last year, making his career best online cash. He then went on to win the PLO HR in IOPC for another INR 11,00,400. Now, Megalmani has made his presence felt in the biggest live series of the southern hemisphere – the 2019 Aussie Millions.

One of the side-events in 2019 Aussie Millions, the Event #13 AUD 1,150 Terminator got over a couple days ago.

He has played in the poker capital of the world – Las Vegas – in Aria 2017 Poker Classic and cashed there as well at 53^rd. The Aussie Millions win is still not his biggest live cash.

Aditya Sushant and Raghav Bansal were also spotted.
