Fridays are always a good time to play poker on India’s no. 1 poker site, Adda52.com. This past Friday was no different as the site hosted several big guaranteed tournaments, with the 22.50 Lac GTD The Ballers headlining the Friday roster. Running as part of the ‘Bulls Eye July’ promotion on the site, the INR 7500 buy-in tourney could garner a field of 292 entrants and outlasting them all was none other than the former Mega Suits champion in Mohit ‘thejokerrrr’ Mehta who added a hefty INR 5.76 Lac to his online bankroll. The in-form MTT player eventually locked horns with Shalabh ‘shalabhpoker’ Bansal (runner-up for INR 3.43 Lac) in the heads-up battle to win his first-ever The Ballers title. With this big win, Mehta entered the ‘2 Crores Club’ in lifetime online earnings.
