Best Indian Poker Rooms
Asian Poker Tour Docks in Goa
The waters of the Mandovi River have once again become home to the sharks of India’s poker scene as the Asian Poker Tour (APT) kicked off its second running of APT Asian Series Goa aboard the floating Casino Royale. The tournament marks a return to Goa for the APT after successfully becoming the first international poker tour to hold a stop in India back in November 2011.

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.

A total prize pool of INR 552,000 has been posted in event and players will all have their eyes set on the APT trophy and INR 182,700 first place prize money. 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.
Don’t forget Fundoo Poker will be providing live updates of the INR 50,000 buy-in Main Event, starting at 4pm on Thursday May 24, 2012.
