And it is over! We have our latest DPT 35K Main Event champion here at the Deltin Royale. On the very first hand of the heads-up, Ankur Sehgal from button raises to 300k and Rishabh Vekaria 3-bets to 1.2M. Back to Ankur and he shoves all-in for 4M and Rishabh calls after giving it a little thought.

Rishabh:9s 9d

Although not very experienced one in tournament poker, Rishabh played some top notch poker tonight. He dominated right from the start of the FT. He overtook the lead from Paawan Bansal in the very next level of the FT and then went on to further extend his lead by scoring his first elimination in Anmol Chawla (9th place). Later, he went on to bust Amit Tejura in 5th place, Adda52 Team Pro Tarun Goyal in 4th place and Anup Palod in 3rd place to eventually reach HU as the massive chip leader against Ankur Sehgal. Th heads-up was one of the shortest ones in DPT history as it ended on the very first hand where Vekaria took it down from the online grinder Sehgal.
