Team Aditya Sushant - Nipun Java

It has been a pretty good year for Nipun Java. He won not one but two WSOP gold bracelets this summer. He and countrymen Aditya Sushant became the first two players from India to win WSOP bracelets in the $1,500 Tag Team Event and then Java went on to win the $1,000 Online Event, becoming India's only two-time bracelet winner.

He also won two other tournaments so far in 2017. A $570 Deepstack tournament for $230,848 in August and a smaller $360 tournament for $17,949 just before the WSOP in April.

He now sits with just under $2.3 million dollars in live tournament winnings and is making his first appearance in this year's WinStar River Poker Series Main Event here on Day 1b.
