On the poker menu today is the INR 10,000 buy-in freezeout opening event where a field of 58 players have been locked in battle to decide who will have the honour of tasting an APT victory first. Tournament organisers managed to start the event on time, despite workers running late in putting the finishing touches on the Casino Royale tournament room.




Seated at the tables are some of India’s best-known players including reigning APT Asian Series Goa Main Event champion Sangeeth Mohan and February’s Macau Poker Cup: Red Dragon runner-up Abhishek Goindi, as well as Kunal Chandra, Rohit Bhalla, Amit Varma, Aditya Agarwal and Rahul Byrraju. Visiting players Ben Abrahams and Liam Anderson are also here after both making their way over from their respective homes in Thailand.

Stay tuned for the full wrap up of the event but, in the meantime, here’s a look at some of sights that we’ve been witnessing aboard Casino Royale.
