The Deltin Poker Tournament (DPT) May 2024 is running full steam at the Deltin Royale casino in Goa. Day 3 of India’s premier poker festival was an action-packed affair. The day saw two tournaments reach their conclusion. The biggest of the two was the 1.110 Lakh GTD Highroller that drew an impressive 157 entrants and generated more than INR 1.57 Crores in prize pool, which was finally shared by the top 20 finishers. In the end, the lion’s share went to Mumbai’s Harshdev Jhirmiria who overcame the former DPT Main Event champion Rishabh Vekaria in the heads-up battle, securing his maiden DPTtitle and an impressive INR 34,30,180. This was the second live title of 2024 for Jhirmiria who recently made headlines for shipping the Mystery Bounty event at Poker Dream 9 Malaysia.
The DPT May 2024 Highroller final table was a rather star studded one featuring big names like Natural8 India director Kunal Patni, Kanchan Sharma, Ashish Ahuja, and Myron Pereira. The heads-up was a short lived affair and lasted only a few hands. On the final hand, Vekaria had 5Jo while his rival had 93o. The board ran out 8♥ 7♦ 9♦ 3♠ 5♣, giving Jhirmiria the coveted pot as well as the title.
