Mukul Pahuja has been on fire lately, with seven six-figure cashes in the past two years. His run started with the inaugural 2013 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open, where Pahuja finished third in the main event to earn $872,625 — still the biggest score of his career.

Pahuja followed his breakout performance at SHRPO by winning the WPT’s Player of the Year race in dominating fashion, with three top-4 finishes in WPT events. Pahuja then closed out his 2014 by winning a WSOP Circuit Championship.

Now Pahuja is back where his great run began, at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open.
