As per Mr. Manish Adnani who is the Business Head of Poker at Deltin Royale, “DPT has evolved as a product over the past 28 months since its inception in early 2016. Back then we just had one series the Deltin Poker Tournament which attracted regulars, pros and all kinds of recreational players. As the fabric and the space has evolved, we felt the need to have a Super High Roller series which took shape in the form of DPT Colossus in April this year clearly dissecting the High rollers from the rest of the pack. Having said this, there are players who do play cash games at least 3-4 times a week in A, B and C cities but never make it out of the closet to a DPT event as they generally don’t land up playing live tournaments primarily due to high buy-ins and the standard of the game with the pros and regs participating in these player fields. DPT Xpress is specially designed to get these players out of their closets giving them a taste of tournament experience with spectacular destination like Sikkim with exciting cash games.”
“The game has evolved substantially over the last decade however these structures are more like the ones where I grew up playing poker in Mumbai. We hope that the players enjoy this experience in Sikkim as it will be a lot of fun all around. We will be live streaming the Bounty and Main Event Final table and hope to give everyone an great experience. Going into 2019 we will have three distinct properties catering to the poker playing community in India.” he added.
More than 1100 poker enthusiasts registered for DPT’s previous edition which was held in July this year at Deltin Royale in Goa. The massively successful poker season was culminated with Awnish Singh won the Main Event title by defeating all opponents and received the 1 prize of INR 35 Lac.
