IPC Feb - 13/2/2011 - 5k Freezeout

The final day of the IPC weekend has a slightly more relaxed atmosphere which is expected of a Sunday night game. Those who needed to make it to work the following day had left earlier so most left were there for a long weekend with no worries about the Monday blues. After triple figured fields on the first 3 days, it seemed like Day 4 would also go the distance but fell just the tiniest bit short at 98 players. Poker is getting even more popular among the Bollywood. At the last IPC event in December it was Harman
Baweja who in fact went on to take 2^nd place in the 10k tournament. This time around it was Minissha Lamba who dropped in to play the 5k tournament. Two ladies on the final table and both of them looking to take it down:-

1. Sudha Kedia – 76,000

2. Kashyap Kejriwal – 71,000

3. Sangeeth Mohan – 71,000

4. Paras ‘Perry’ Kumar – 61,000

5. Ayush Mehrotra – 60,000

6. Sunny Thakker – 49,000

7. Anjali Pandey – 40,000

8. Varun Victor – 38,000

9. Manish Jagwani – 24,000

But Mrs. Kedia wasn’t able to do better than 6^th place when she was knocked out by Anjali Pandey in a double elimination along with Perry. Anjali would eventually finish in 3^rd place followed by Sangeeth Mohan in runner-up. And the spoils would go to casino & tournament newbie Varun Victor who would take down the IPC 5k title!

That was it for this edition but the action from the India Poker Championship continues at their next event from 7^th – 10^th April 2011.
