9stacks Gets Ready to Fly 100 Indian Poker Players to Australia During the Aussie Millions, 2019
Reading Time: 2 minutes
In July, India’s fastest-growing online poker company, 9stacks took the largest ever contingent of Indian poker players to the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. Of the 25 players who went there, most were first timers, including professional poker players, Nishant Sharma and Vivek Rughani, who became the first Indians ever to finish in the top 100 of the Main Event at the WSOP.
Now, 9stacks is preparing to up the game even further, by taking 100 Indian poker players to Melbourne, Australia to play during the prestigious Aussie Millions poker tournament. The tournament will happen in late Jan to Feb, 2019, and all 100 invitees to #9stacksTeamIndia will be announced by mid-December.
The selection for the 9stacks Team India is already underway, and the first set of 15 poker players has already been announced. This includes Chandni Malik (who goes by the name ‘maidumji’) who is the first woman member of the team. Interestingly, Chandni started her poker journey on 9stacks last year, and in less than a year she has improved her game to a level where she regularly finishes ‘in the money’ in online tournaments and gives the most seasoned poker professionals a run for their money.
“At 9stacks, our aim has always been to come up with the most rewarding and innovative, yet extremely do-able tournament formats and contests. We want to encourage amateur poker players with a desire to play and get exposed to some of the biggest, most premium poker tournaments and platforms in the world. After #LFGVegas made the WSOP dreams of 25 Indian poker players come true and made stars out of Nishant Sharma and Vivek Rughani, we hope that at least one person from the #Aussie100 will go even better and win the main event there,” says Sudhir Kamath, CEO, 9stacks
