Anup Palod Bags Big After WPT India Main Event Day 1c
It was players' last chance to find a bag for Day 2 of the WPT India Main Event, and Anup Palod grabbed that opportunity with both hands to end the night with 296,500 in chips.
Chip leader throughout the day, in the final hand of the day he flopped a jack-high straight to crack the kings of an opponent and send them to the rail, boosting his stack to within touching distance of 300,000.
Other big names through to Day 2 from Day 1c include Aditya Agarwal (56,500) and WPT Asia Swing champion Kevin Ayow (98,500).
The fields will combine tomorrow starting at 2 pm, with everyone's eyes firmly fixed on the ₹6,635,000 for first prize.
