When it comes to grinding in live poker series in the Asian continent, Kaushik who hails from Kurukshetra has an impressive record. Deep runs and title wins, Kaushik has done both thanks to his impeccable poker skills. 

Kaushik won his last Asian title at U Series of Poker (USOP) Da Nang 2023. He nailed the Turbo event for VND 72 Million and upped his live trophy tally. 

Before that Kaushik took the numero uno spot in the Opener event at Silver Poker Festival. In July 2023, this avid reader had shipped the Bounty Hunter title at the World Poker Championship (WPC) Summer Series Hanoi. In May 2023, Kaushik took down his first-ever WPT trophy when he nailed the 8 Max Main Event Warm Up. 

With such a notable record in the Asian series, it won’t be surprising to see Kaushik nail the WPT Championship event. Stay tuned to Gutshot Magazine for more such updates from the ongoing WPT Cambodia 2024 Championship tournament.
