Rohit Sharma’s bold bluff secures massive chip lead in high-stakes poker showdown
A high-stakes poker tournament is underway, with the clock showing 7:06 PM local time. The event has now reached Level 11, drawing 397 entrants—though only 163 remain in contention. The prize pool has swelled to $1,282,722, with $778,120 already distributed among eliminated players.
The latest dramatic hand unfolded after the flop revealed 10♠6♣3♠. A player in middle position pushed all in for 20,500, holding a strong pair of K♥K♦. Rohit Sharma, however, decided to call with an unlikely 3♥2♥.
The turn and river brought 4♥3♣, completing the board. Sharma's pair of threes proved enough to win the pot, sending their chip stack soaring to 244,000. No verified records confirm a tournament involving Rohit Sharma at 7:06 AM on January 17, 2026. As a result, no winner can be officially identified for that time or date.
The tournament continues with Sharma now holding a commanding lead. The remaining players will battle for a share of the $1,282,722 prize pool, as the competition intensifies in the later stages.
