Indian poker pro Aayush Arya has nailed Event #22: $400 COLOSSUS to grab a shiny new WSOP gold bracelet and a pay cheque of ~₹2.76 Crore ($331,878). Arya is now the sixth Indian player to win a WSOP bracelet. This BITS Pilani alumnus now joins the ranks of Indian pros like Aditya Sushant, Nikita Luther, Abhinav Iyer and Kartik Ved.
Arya emerged victorious from a large player field of 10,812 to ship the online event and bring home glory. He beat Volodymyr Bartko who added $243,297 to his bankroll for his runner-up finish.
The 26-year-old from Delhi now has the second highest score among the Indian bracelet winners. Arya is second only to Iyer who took a pay cheque of ₹3.87 Crore.
The poker pro has upped India’s WSOP tally to five and we hope to see this pro win more WSOP events in the coming future.
