Abhishek Goindi, our very own poker pro went to Barcelona for the 2019 WPT Barcelona while most of the Indian players are currently occupied at Pro Poker Club playing the 2019 WPT Vietnam. One of the last events to conclude at the 2019 WPT Barcelona Series, which also went into the books yesterday, was the €1,100 PLO Event.

The tournament saw a guarantee of €100,000 (~INR 78.28 Lakhs). Goindi, Jagdeep Singh and Gaurav Gala were the three Indians in the field and all three of them managed to reached the final table! Gala got busted in 8th place and he was the first to go out among the three in the final table of 9. Singh was the next to fall in 7th place, just after Gala. Goindi stuck for a longer duration, showcasing some extremely good poker skills and finished 2nd place, winning the runner-up cash prize of €25,000 (~INR 19.57 Lakhs).

He recently shipped the DPT High Roller for INR 14.5 Lakhs, which is still not his best live cash. He also finished runner-up in 2012 Macau Poker Cup Red Dragon Event for a staggering $136,245 which is his best live cash till date.
