While we saw several big winners throughout the week, the biggest story was Digvijay Singh Lamba aka ‘Sandy Lamba’.

The second biggest score of the week also came on Natural8 India and it belonged to none other than the WSOP bracelet winner Tarun Goyal. Continuing his dominant run, the former IT professional from Bathinda got off to a fiery start to the week, battling against a massive 1,531-entry field and finishing third for a whopping ₹40.71 Lakhs.
