Vivek Rughani Wins DPT Colossus 50k Warm Up Event

This time, he beat 61 entries to secure his first ever live poker title and took home the top prize of INR 9,05,800. Rughani was placed 15th in chips when he began Day 2 but his experience helped him climb the ladder and ultimately reach heads up, where he beat Bollywood actress and poker enthusiast Minissha Lamba.

Lamba executed quite a few eliminations on Day 2 and she would’ve been confident of winning the title as well, having entered heads up with the chip lead. Rughani eventually regained the lead and in what would be the final hand of the tournament, both players went all-in pre-flop. Rughani held A-J while Lamba was ahead with pocket tens. However, the board opened 6-A-5-J-9, giving Rughani two pairs and the INR 50k Warm Up Event title!

Adda52 Team Pro Nikita Luther went out on the money bubble, as the top 7 players were to be paid in this event. The minimum cash of INR 2,11,100 went to Sameer Chaturvedi. Check out the final results of the DPT Colossus opening event:
