Finally, it is over with Anant Purohit winning the DPT Xpress Main Event. The player outlasted a strong field of 205 entries. He entered heads-up with 2 million chips against 2.1 million of Kshitij Jain.
While the chip lead changed several times, Anant went on to extend his lead and finally took down his first-ever DPT title. The last hand of the tournament saw Kshitij Jain shove for his remaining 338k and Anant made the call. Anant had As 5d, while Jain held 6d 3d. The board ran Ac Kc Qd 9c 4d. Anant flopped an Ace pair, which was enough for him to take down the title. Anant took home an impressive INR 7,40,000, while Jain settled for a cool INR 5,15,000 for his runner-up finish.
On his way to the grand win, Anant eliminated several players, including 4 players from the FT itself and they included Mitang Soni, Prashob PJ, Amit Tejura and finally Kshitij Jain. We congratulate the winner, the runner-up and all ITM players today. That is for the day…. Good night!
