WPT Online India Wraps on Adda52; Kumar ‘kumar69’ Sahaj Wins Main Event ($67,365)
From November 5-22, Adda52 played host to the World Poker Tour (WPT) Online India, a series that wrapped this past Sunday. The online festival ended in style with a big day that saw a combined 4,077 entrants compete and awarded more than $458K in prize money.
Much of that was dispersed in the WPT India Main Event (₹2.5 Crores GTD), a tournament that attracted 2,573 entrants over 10 starting flights to create a ₹2.57 Crores (~$348K USD) prize pool. Of those, 323 advanced to Day 2 with the top 269 finishers making the money.
Coming out on top of the field was Kumar ‘kumar69’ Sahaj, who not only claimed a ₹50,00,000 ($67,534.45 USD) first-place prize, but also the WPT Main Event trophy, a Hublot Classic wristwatch, and a $5,000 WPT Passport.
