After a fantastic start to 2015 with two five-figure scores by Arsh Grover and Arvindhan L in online poker, the young guns of Indian poker are taking the online felt by storm on PokerStars. The weekend witnesses two huge wins of 5-figure cash prizes taken down by Sahil ‘antilog’ Agarwal and r.shetty. Sahil shipped the PS The Big $11, $65K Gtd tourney bagging $14,527.67 while r.shetty grabbed $13,846 for his 7th place finish in PS $215 Sunday Warm up event.
In a marathon grind which ran for over 9 hours, Sahil walloped a field of 9,872 players to clinch his first big win at the online felt this year. r.shetty too was sailing furiously in the Sunday Warm up tourney with sizeable chip stack but was busted in 7th place when his pocket Jacks couldn’t withstand Villain’s AK.

Few other Indian contingents finished in money in different Sunday tourneys on PokerStars. funsukwangdu bagged $498 for 410th spot finish in PS Sunday Million.
