Poker Ninja Contingent Makes it big in the Spanish Poker FestivalBENGALURU, April 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- After months of sleepless nights and endless days and after putting in a lot of hard work, Poker Ninja managed to successfully conclude one of their biggest events, India Series of Poker. (Photo: http://mma.prnewswire.com/media/490515/Poker_Ninja_Players_At_The_Spanish_Poker_Festival.jpg ) India Series of Poker was an attempt undertaken by Poker Ninja to give the players, be it professionals or amateurs, a chance to experience the thrill of playing with some of the best players from the Indian Circuit and beating over 200 players to land a chance to travel to Prague and also to give the players an international platform to prove their mettle in the Spanish Poker Festival. The players themselves did not disappoint by participating in all the tournaments in big numbers and playing some intelligent and fun Poker. Poker Ninja, in a never before attempted task, took a huge contingent of 50 players to Prague, which was only the second largest contingent present at the King's Casino, competing against players from all over the world to ship home the SPT trophy. Rozvadov, a beautiful little city which is over 2 hours away from Prague, with its picturesque landscapes pulled right out of a Yash Raj movie, sub-zero temperatures and lots of snow; right in the centre of it all is the wonderful Kings Casino. All this and more had the full Indian contingent excited and prepped up for the fantastic week they were about to have. The week started off with the ISOP players competing on the fina tables of their respective Low, Medium and High events. After an exciting day on the felt, Mitesh Mehta emerged as the winner of the ISOP Low event and took home a prize money worth of Rs. 43,599. Busting out the players, Vinay Shivappa, managed to take the top position at the Medium event by winning Rs. 4,10,400. Everybody back home got a glimpse into the final table of the ISOP High event through the live streaming and they were on the edge of their seats when the winner Pranjal Batra busted out his opponent to take home the trophy and a winning prize of Rs. 6,44,800. The day ended on a high note where the players let their hair down and partied away till the wee hours of the morning. Day 2 at Kings Casino saw our Indian contingent battling it out against players from all over the world in the Spanish Poker Festival. Our contingent managed to shine and dazzle in almost all the tournaments taking place at the casino. The final event at the SPT saw more than 300 players battling it out for a prize pool of €149283. Proving that the Indian players can match the potential and compete on any platform be it national or international, our very own Mahaveer Solanki made us proud by shipping the SPT trophy and winning amount of €26595. 3 out of the top 15 winning players were Indians, with Pranjal Batra grabbing the third place and a winning amount of €12831, and Sanjay Taneja finishing at 11th and took home a prize money of €2254. The Indian contingent performed extremely well at the felts and did not let the opportunity, given to them by Poker Ninja, go to waste. They proved that if given a platform they too can compete and be at par with some of the top players from all around the world. The Poker Ninja team claims that their objective of putting Indian players on the world map was effectively achieved and they are now planning on giving the players an even bigger chance to play on one of the most prestigious platforms of the Poker world, the World Series of Poker. Poker Ninja is gathering a contingent of the top players through various contests and tournaments which will be running on their site for the next two months. This contingent will fly to the Poker capital of the world, Las Vegas and will get a chance to compete in the WSOP 2017, set to take place in July in a fully sponsored trip by Poker Ninja. So, all those players who have ever dreamt of visiting this Poker capital of the world or participate in the prestigious WSOP, head straight to the tables to get one step closer to #Fly2Vegas.
