APT #38: 5-Max Turbo – MYRON “priyankAAchoprAA” PEREIRA – IN₹ 1,71,801 (~US$ 2,304)
The final day festivities opened with the short handed 5-Max Turbo tournament with 300 players pouring in plus 306 re-entries for a towering 606 total entries. With buy in at IN₹ 1,650 each, it more than breached the 7L guarantee for a larger IN₹ 9,09,000 prize pool. Myron “priyankAAchoprAA” Pereira overcame a 6:1 deficit at heads up against Jayjit “england” Ray to claim the IN₹ 1,71,801 first prize and his second ever APT win.
Briefly recapping the final table action, Ray entered as chip leader and proceeded to rail the next three players, “monk5555” (5th), “gaurav3194” (4th), and Priyank “Piko1432” Kothari (3rd). Ray carried in a 6:1 chip lead into heads up against Pereira. The first all in saw Pereira 5♥ 8♣ push on a completed board J♥ 10♣ 7♥ 5♠ 8♥, Ray tank-called with 6♣ 10♥ for a winning two pair to Pereira. With a healthy stack built, Pereira grinded to reach par and from there it was a tug-of-war for the chip lead. About even in stacks, Pereira sent Ray down to pennies with A♠ Q♣ over A♥ 4♠ then took it down on the next hand.

Taliwabang “Meverick” Jamir captured his first ever APT win at the Monster Stack event after outlasting the 540 entry field to turn his IN₹ 2,750 buy in into a sweeter IN₹ 2,28,908 payout.
The race heated up at three handed with Jamir, Harsh “harsh1327” Bubna, and Goonjan “gmtesting”Mall taking turns up top. Jamir widened his lead in a hand against Mall with J♠ J♠ rivering a full house on a board A♥ 6♠ Q♥ A♠ J♦ to dust 4♥ A♣ trips. Despite the loss, Mall was still fairly healthy with 18 bb, but not for long. Mall proceeded to lose it all to Bubna. On a flop 2♥ 6♥ 9♥, both players were all in. Bubna’s 5♥ 4♥ flush cracked Mall’s K♦ K♥ when the board completed 4♦ turn and 5♦ river.
Bubna entered heads up with a slight edge over Jamir. Both players were soon all in on a flop 8♥ 10♣ 2♦, Jamir had top pair 10♦ 3♠, Bubna 5♦ 5♠, the turn was A♥ and river J♠ for a massive scoop for Jamir. Bubna dropped to barely a blind and was put out of his misery shortly after.
