Newest Team PokerStars Pro Stays Alive
An under-the-gun player opened for 1,000 and was met by an all-in three-bet to 7,850 by a short-stacked [Removed:532] from the button. The blinds both folded, the original raiser called, and [Removed:532] discovered the bad news.
[Removed:532]: Q♥10♥
Opponent: KxKx
[Removed:532] was in need of some help, and he got it when the 7♠Q♥Q♣ flop delivered him trips. Neither the 9♣ turn nor 3♥ river harmed [Removed:532], and he was shipped a much-needed double.
For those unfamiliar with [Removed:532], he has had considerable success playing PokerStars’ biggest online tournaments. So much so that the site made him the first-ever Indian Team Pro.
[Removed:532], who will play under the online username ‘Adi [Removed:532]” grew up in Darjeeling, India before moving to the United States to study Engineering and Marketing at Drexel University. It was around this time [Removed:532] watched Chris Moneymaker win the World Series of Poker, and by the time he graduated he was already a full-time pro.
Since then, [Removed:532] has amassed $394,509 in live tournament winnings including a deep run in the 2008 WSOP Main Event, finishing 96th for $51,466, his largest cash to date.
“I’ve been playing at PokerStars since 2004, so this is a dream come true for me,” [Removed:532] said. “As a poker ambassador I want to help promote the game in India, and inspire more players to play and enjoy the sport.”
