Talking about his grand win and the field of Adda52 Millions, Chirag said, “Shipping this online tourney was my dream and I am just ecstatic. Adda52 Million’s field is always very competitive and it was no different this time. ITM stage had a lot of recognized and pro players and everybody just wanted to win.”
Speaking about his experience in the tourney, he said, “Experience was nice. Throughout the tourney, I was just concentrating on maintaining a comfortable chip stack without playing high-variance hands.”
Talking about his journey through the tournament, he said, “I was never on top of table and also during ITM. I was possibly last 2-3 in the ranks..don’t remember accurately. I entered the final table as shortest stack. However, this was my first FT for this tourney, so I was just sure I am not going out easily.”
Chirag was really impressed by the structure and he said, “The structure of the tourney wherein even the shortest stack in FT would have around 18-20 blinds is a good thing about this tourney”.
