PLO-6 High Roller – VISHAL TULSYAN “dilbaghsingh” – IN₹ 5.27 Lac (~US$ 6,632)
At nearly every APT India Online Series event, player Vishal Tulsyan “dilbaghsingh” can often be found at the top of the charts. It was no different at the fourth edition with a takedown at the Saturday’s featured PLO-6 High Roller event. After a heads up deal, Tulsyan outdueled Chirag Sodha “miyagi” to win the trophy and collect a cool IN₹ 5.27 Lac (~US$ 6,632). This was Tulsyan’s second ever APT trophy with the first one claimed back in February at the Super High Roller event. Another achievement by the champion was becoming the first player to win three side events at the inaugural series in January 2021.
Recapping the action, the event pulled in 251 entries for a crushing prize pool of IN₹ 25.1 Lac (~US$ 31,590). Seven hours in, the final table was formed with Tulsyan fairly deep and wedged in the middle. Up top was Mohammad Azhar “chandlerbing”. After Tulsyan railed “Thedarkhorse” in 5th place, he cleaned out Azhar with J♥ A♦ 8♣ 9♥ 9♦ 7♣ flush over J♣ A♥ 4♠ 5♣ 7♠ 6♦ on a board 3♣ 5♥ 10♠ 8♥ 10♥. This gave Tulsyan a massive lead at three handed. The rush continued sending Abhishek Jaiswal “sharktops” out next with a queen high full house over a flush. Ahead over 3:1 against Sodha, Tulsyan hoped to close it out fast but instead paid two double ups. Ten minutes in, a deal was struck with Tulsyan guaranteed the higher payout. The next fifteen minutes saw stacks swinging until Tulsyan was able to tame it and take it to the limit. As for runner up Sodha, it was another impressive r result. This was his seventh final table and third 2nd place finish.
