Avneesh Munjal Secures Victory in Phu Quoc 2024 High Roller Tournament, Claiming His First Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) Trophy
In a thrilling turn of events at the ongoing Asian Poker Tour (APT) Phu Quoc 2024 series, Indian poker player Avneesh Munjal, also known as "IamAM," has clinched the High Roller - Double Stack title. The series, which started on the 8th of November and will continue until the 17th of this month, has seen Munjal secure a career-best prize of VND 1.541 billion (approx. ₹51.34 Lakh).
The High Roller - Double Stack event, which had a total prize pool of VND 54,000,000, attracted 117 entries. The final table was a nail-biting spectacle, with Munjal engaging in a two-hour heads-up battle against Mingcong Chen. Despite Chen's valiant efforts, Munjal emerged victorious, securing the coveted title. Chen, however, still took home an impressive VND 1.041.840,000 as the runner-up prize.
Munjal's win at the APT Phu Quoc 2024 series marks a significant addition to his already impressive poker resume. While he has had several notable achievements in early 2025 poker events, his success in the Asian Poker Tour (APT) 2024 remains less documented. His best-documented successes in 2024-2025 appear linked to Indian online poker platforms like PokerBaazi, Adda52, and the EPIC series rather than APT live events.
It's worth noting that another Indian player, Kunal Patni, recently shipped Event #37 Tick Tock BOOM at the APT 2024. Roy D'Silva, a published author with a decade-long experience in poker journalism, has covered various aspects of the game. The APT series, which has been held in various exotic locations across Asia since its founding in 2006, continues to be a hotbed for poker enthusiasts.
As the APT Phu Quoc 2024 series progresses, the poker world eagerly awaits to see who will make their mark next. For Avneesh Munjal, this victory undoubtedly opens doors to more opportunities and challenges in the world of poker.
