The 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP), is hitting an all-time high when it comes to intensity with the Main Event kick-starting amid high expectations and records being broken even before the tournament hits Day 2. But the Main Event isn’t the only tourney running, there are other tournaments like Event 80, 83, and 84 happening at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. When it comes to the $1,000 No Limit Hold’em, India’s Aditya Agarwal has managed to secure a spot in the top 10. The tournament is currently underway with 7 players in the game out of the 214 runners who made Day 2.

Indian pros like Ashish Ahuja, Guarav Sood, and Sriharsha Doddapaneni had also participated. Only Sood and Doddapaneni managed to make it in the money.
