FAIRYTAILE STORY - Mother and son won poker titles on the same day

Article cover

In the poker world, we can find many poker couples, siblings or entire families who collect valuable poker successes on their accounts. Whether we are talking about the father and son Doyle and Todd Brunson, or the Mizrachi or Greenwood brothers, whoever searches will find many successful families. Well, one such, namely mother Manju Gera and her son Nikhil Gera, came to the attention of many world poker media.

Just a few days ago, Nikhil Gera triumphed in the $1,100 NLH event during the Wynn Millions series in Las Vegas, where he won in a field of 885 entries and took home the trophy and a beautiful $131,665 as a reward. There would be "nothing special" about it, if at the same time, 333 kilometers away, his mother Manju did not also pose for the winning photo of the poker event.

Yes, on the same day and almost at the same time, Manju won the trophy in the $500 Mystery Bounty event held at the Gardens Casino in California. For the total win and several bounty rewards, Manju took home a total of $52,000, but together with her son, they earned more than $180,000 during the night.

That it is not a coincidence, so to speak, is also proven by the fact that both have a number of wins to their credit, including a ring from the WSOPC series (Nikhil has two, Manju one). In total, more than two million in tournament winnings shines next to their names on hendonmob, but who knows, maybe we haven't heard the last of them!
