The 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise has concluded with its record-breaking $50 Million GTD Super Main Event crowning a winner in China’s Yinan Zhou, who walked away with a career-best $6 million in top prize money. Shining for India in the series was none other than the high-roller sensation Santhosh Suvarna, who not only cashed the super main event but also delivered two back-to-back final table finishes in the series.
Following his stellar 8th place finish for $209,420 (INR 1.78 Crores) out of the 130 total entrants in Event #13: $50K NLHE High Roller, the two-time WSOP bracelet winner continued his hunt for the third bracelet in Event #15: $5KThe Closer NLH Bounty Turbo where he fell just a few places shy of the coveted bracelet. His remarkable run ended in a pivotal hand against the eventual champion, Nick Schulman, whose jack-eight off-suit managed to beat Suvarna’s queen-ten off-suit, leading to Suvaran’s heart-breaking elimination in the 5th place for $50,800 (INR 43.21 Lakhs).
Currently ranked no.1 on India’s all-time money list, Suvarna not only delivered back-to-back final table finishes but also showcased his strategic brilliance in the $25K Super Main Event. The Indian poker superstar finished in 240th place in the $50 Million GTD tournament, adding a cool $50,000 (INR 42.46 Lakhs) to his already impressive poker bankroll.
Suvarna’s WSOP Paradise campaign concluded with three cashes totaling $310,220 (INR 2.64 Crores). His recent performances at the just concluded series boosted his live tournament earnings to over $15 million mark, solidifying his legacy and status in the world of poker. According to his Hendon Mob profile, Suvarna now has a whopping $15,028,525 in total live tournament earnings and is ranked 83rd on poker’s all-time money list.
2024 has been a remarkable year for Suvarna with several significant achievements, including a victory for $377,669 at EPT Paris and a career-best win for $ 5,415,152 at the WSOP 2024 Super High Roller. Despite challenges in the early stages of the recent WSOP Paradise, Suvarna ended the prestigious series on a good note, running deep in the super main event and delivering two back-to-back final table finishes.
