Satbir Gupta was an octochamp in Series 32.

Gupta first appeared on 8 August 1996, beating Craig Douglas, and quickly racked up a further seven wins to become the series’ only octochamp and #1 seed for the finals. Gupta comfortably beat Stephen Paver in the quarter-finals, before losing to Dennis Fearon in the semi-finals following a sudden-death conundrum.

Gupta returned a week later for Championship of Champions VIII, losing in the first round to Darren Shacklady.
