APT #35: PLO-5 High Roller – AKSHAY “sherlock52” NASA – IN₹ 5,50,602 (~US$ 7,345)
The PLO-5 High Roller attracted some of the country’s biggest names with 234 ponying up the IN₹ 11,000 buy in to generate a guarantee crushing IN₹ 23,40,000 prize pool. At the seventh hour a star studded final table was formed, and after just one hour of heavy slugging, Akshay “sherlock52” Nasa clinched it for his first win in this series. He pocketed IN₹ 5,50,602 and lifted his second ever APT Trophy. Nasa is one of India’s fast rising players with a few live wins under his name that included an APT Ho Chi Minh Main Event title back in 2019.
Recapping the final table, it kicked off with anonymous player “bozo” as chip leader. Nasa railed Gurupasad “fish_calling” Gupta (6th) with quads Nines over two pair. Day 1 6-Max champion Nitin “Gambler42” Rawat was stopped in 5th place by the leader “bozo”, followed by last edition’s Main Event champion Subhayan “arjun100” Das falling in 4th place when his aces were easily cracked by Nasa’s full house. While Nasa was on the rise, “bozo” went on a ping pong match against two time series champion Ashish “rocky3705” Ahuja that led to the fall of Ahuja in 3rd place with a straight besting top two pair.
Heads up ignited with Nasa ahead 3:1, bozo won the first pot to tighten the gap but ultimately could not catch up to the leader. Nasa dominated the action to rise to a massive 17:1 advantage. After bozo battled valiantly to bring it down to 5:1, the last hand arrived. Nasa shipped it with 7♣ A♠ Q♠ Q♣ 7♥ higher flush over 7♦ 6♣ 9♣ K♦ A♦ on a board 2♣ 3♣ K♠ 9♠ 8♣.
