A member of London-based poker team the Hit Squad, Chattha has finished in the prize money on five occasions at GUKPT events.
He is the second GUKPT champion of the season, with Essex poker ace Bernard Litman triumphing at Brighton's Grosvenor Casino in January.
The GUKPT now faces less competition on the UK's live poker scene, as Gala Casinos announced the cancellation of its poker tour earlier this year.
