Aayush Arya - SOMUCHPOKER

Though relatively new to the live poker field, Indian player Aayush Arya is already breaking records. He immediately launched his career with a first-place win in the 65k High-Roller event at the Deltin Poker Tournament in 2022, earning INR 3,294,044 (USD 43,371). In the online arena, Arya has achieved many victories, planting his roots on virtual grounds.

In the subsequent year, Arya etched his name in the annals of Indian poker history by becoming the fifth Indian to secure a WSOP bracelet. His triumph in the Online Colossus Event #2 not only brought him glory but also a substantial sum of 2.76 Crore (USD 331,878)—his largest live cash to date. This victory propelled him into the elite company of players like Abhinav Iyer, Kartik Ved, and Nikita Luther. Remarkably, his earnings were only surpassed by Iyer’s 3.87 Crore.

In early 2024, the mostly online player tried his hand in the Vietnamese and Cambodian poker fields, succeeding at the WPT Cambodia Championship in Phnom Penh. He shipped the Deepstack 20/15/10/5 event, placing first and bagging USD 9,152.
