Indians getting their place in Poker Map

Everyone needs an inspiration to start something new and it was no different for Indian poker player like Aditya Agarwal from Kolkata. An Indian born amateur poker player witnessed a remarkable win of $2.5 million jackpot at 2003 WSOP event by Tennessee native Chris Moneymaker and it was enough for him to get inspired and try his hands on Poker himself.

According to Aditya, he started learning Poker from his inspiration "Moneymaker", playing $5 games with his friends in the dorm. Now, after many years, Aditya has come a long way. He's now ranked 71 in WSOP and is the first Indian as well as the top finisher from Asia winning around $96,000. He has also cashed in more than $4 Millions from PokerStars and is now a brand ambassador playing for Team PokerStars Pro. 

Aditya is not the only helping India in getting its place in Poker map. Players like Sahil Agarwal, Raahil Bhatia and Dyutidhar Suresh are some among the 40 something poker players who have travelled to Vegas earlier for WSOP events. Ankur Dewani, country manager for PokerStars in India gives the credit to this Poker boom to KN Suresh, a lawyer from Bangalore who got a NOC from the police to play poker in some clubs in Karnataka. Later that year, he co-founded and filed a petition in High Court saying 'Poker is a Game of Skill' and 'not a Game of Chance' which he won.
