The Main Event Final Table
Eliminations at the final table were quick. Soon it was the elimination of Manjit Jajoo in the third place which paved way for the heads-up between Pena Ladakhi and Sharma.
The heads-up lasted for almost an hour with neither of them relenting. In the final hand, the duo was dealt the card as follows-
Bhola Sharma 10♠️ 10♦️
Pena Ladakhi A♦️ 6♣️
Much to Sharma’s pleasure, the community cards ran 6♠️ Q♥️ 2♦️ 7♣️ K♣️, thus giving him a better two pair compared to his rival. This also gave Bhola Sharma the coveted Main Event trophy and the top prize of INR 3,40,000 while Pena Ladakhi had to contend with a sum of INR 1,95,000 for the second position.

Prashant Malik wins ₹10K Bounty Event for INR 90,000
In another news, Prashant Malik cashed in on his massive chip lead in the ₹10K Bounty Event that comprised 48 entries. This number included some top names like Vivek Anand Baskey (the winner of Burn N Turn), Ankit Takle, Shivam Shukla, Karan Sawhney, Manish Lakhotia and Firoz Khan.
The event allowed only the first six players to receive payouts and thus it was a tough race from start. Malik entered the table with a dominant chip lead of 121,000 chips and was playing aggressively. His moves played dividends as he ousted several players, including the second runner-up Rajiv Gupta who won ₹53,000.

Final Table Recap
The first to go was Harihar Veknkata, followed in quick succession by Shrikrishna Whale and Firoz Khan. The race was now limited to a six hand play and featured a minimum cashout of INR 14,000. Manish Lakhotia was running unstoppably as he routed Ritesh Tripathi and Shivam Shukla at sixth and fifth place respectively. They were later followed by Karan Sawhney.
The last three players remaining were Manish Lakhotia, Prashant Malik and Rajiv Gupta.
Manish Lakhotia missed out on a chance to create history after his 10♥️ 2♦️ were short of Prashant Malik’s supreme A♦️ K♥️, given that the table showed up as K♣️ Q♣️ 3♠️ 4♣️ 5♠️. This led to Lakhotia’s exit in third place.
The Heads-Up
It was a gruesome battle of heads-up between the short-stacked Rajiv Gupta and the chip leader Prashant Malik. The final hand emerged as Gupta shoved all-in with his queen-two against Malik’s Q♦️ 6♦️. As you can see, they both had flopped a pair of queens, but with the community cards showing up as 9♦️ 8♥️ Q♣️ 4♦️ 3♣️ , it was all but over for Gupta. Malik’s six kicker was too good for Gupta’s cards, thus giving the former the DPT trophy and first-place prize money of ₹90,000.
Final Table Results (INR)
Prashant Malik - ₹90,000
Rajiv Gupta - ₹53,000
Manish Lakhotia - ₹31,000
Karan Sawhney - ₹24,000
Shivam Shukla - ₹20,000
Ritesh Tripathi - ₹14,000
