The Adda52 Champions Leaderboard (ACL) Finale is all set to take place tomorrow live in Goa. After a year’s hard work and consistently putting efforts to perform better, nine players have successfully made it to the top and will now battle it out to win the race.
Adda52 Champions Leaderboard (ACL) is a year-long competition that gives players an opportunity to rank among the top with their consistency and form. The top nine then get an opportunity to play a Sit & Go (SnG) event live in Goa. The ultimate winner, who wins the SnG, gets to be the Adda52 Pro for the next year and a contract worth a massive ₹20 Lakh.
ACL Season 1 concluded last year with Arun Sriram emerging victorious and walking away as the Adda52 Pro. Arjanveer Singh Chadha finished second at the event.

Another unknown player on the final table is Soumitr Dhanajai Deo. With no details available, he is worth keeping a close eye on since his playing style isn’t out there and his poker moves in the ACL final table will be worth noting down.
