Daily Majors: Siddharth Rajan, Vinay B & Vaibhav Bhatia Shine in the Monday Flagships

Mondays are always the slowest days on the virtual felts but with two big-ticket series, Spartan Poker’s IOPC 14.0 and PokerStars India’s Red Spade Series, wrapping up on Sunday, exhaustion seems to have set in for players. With most of the domestic circuit resting up, the Monday MTTs expectedly witnessed a sizeable drop in traffic, resulting in significant overlays. Additionally, with most top regs taking the day off, numerous upcoming players got the opportunity to shine.

Siddharth Rajan was Monday`s biggest money churner. The former NPS silver medallist championed Adda52’s Iron Man for a site-best ₹2 Lakhs, closing a 20-month-long title slump. Dhiraj Lakhotia fired ten bullets in the Monday headliner, but managed to book a profit, netting ₹1.21 Lakhs in second place (won ₹1.29 Lakhs overall).

The Monday lineup on Spartan Poker was rather bare. However, The CashMaker – Triple Chance still managed to surpass its advertised guarantee, crowning a winner in Vinay B, who took home ₹1.25 Lakhs (from two stacks). He fired up another four deep runs, rounding up ₹1.73 Lakhs overall, crossing ₹7 Crores in tracked online winnings.

Devashish Jain (2nd for ₹1.12 Lakhs), Prem Poonia (3rd for ₹1.09 Lakhs), and Dhawal Bagaria (4th for ₹1.09 Lakhs) benefitted from a four-way FT deal struck in The CashMaker – Triple Chance.

PokerBaazi’s Monday showstopper was the PC#15 (PLO-5) that ran as a part of the ongoing PLO Championship Series. The current PC leaderboard topper ‘hik18’ shipped PC#15 (PLO-5) for ₹2.24 Lakhs (won ₹2.56 Lakhs overall) – bagging their second title at the series and fourth FT score – further cementing their lead in the leaderboard standings.

‘Yash9995’ clinched their second title on PokerBaazi’s in The Big Show for a site-best ₹1.38 Lakhs, following a five-way deal with ‘1299sanj’ (2nd for ₹1.15 Lakhs), Siddharth Pandey (3rd for ₹1.04 Lakhs), ‘pokerdonk99’ (4th for ₹1.01 Lakhs) and ‘deepanshu02′ (5th for ₹93,642).

‘angrydevil’ made their first top finish on PokerBaazi, nailing the 7:30 PM Daily Value Boost for a personal-best ₹1.07 Lakhs after striking a five-way deal with Vikas Vashisth (2nd for ₹94,362), ‘shraban56’ (3rd for ₹90,043), ‘arr86’ (4th for ₹78,976) and ‘Playcool’ (5th for ₹75,391).

‘saurav29’ (Won PC#16 (PLO-6) for a personal-best ₹1.36 Lakhs), ‘CharPatteWala’ (Won PC#14 (PLO-4) for a site-best ₹1.21 Lakhs), and Prateek Kukranji (Won PC#13 (PLO-5) for a site-best ₹1.28 Lakhs) won the other PLO Championship titles on Monday.

PokerStars India loyalist Vaibhav Bhatia ended an eight-month-long dry spell with a victory march in the site`s Eliminator [8-Max], netting ₹1.20 Lakhs.

Vivekk Dube, Sanjay Mohan, Kashish Sachdev, Shailesh Kumar Patel, Divya Raushan, Ashish Pareek, and Sambantha Sedhuraman shipped the other Monday marquees.

Spartan Poker`s ReCharge and Deepstack returned for their usual Monday run, but the budget players had reasons to rejoice with another edition of the Ultimate Value Series (UVS) getting underway.

The 8 PM slotted ReCharge brought in 383 runners, and with each of them ponying up ₹2,200 to enter, the event experienced an ₹86,000 overlay shortfall. Archit ‘Archit789′ Saraogi cut his way to the top and chopped the title three-way for ₹1.60 Lakhs, picking up his second title of the year. Peush ‘Daniel0617’ Singhvi (2nd for ₹1.21 Lakhs) and Aditya ‘LeoBaazoka’ Pandita (3rd for ₹1.05 Lakhs) banked the other top prizes, courtesy of the deal.

The Ultimate Value Series had seven events running yesterday, and six of them played down to a winner. The user ‘LARA LARA’ shipped the day`s featured event, ₹4 Lakhs GTD UVS #4, for ₹72,716. He bested a 723-strong field and defeated Diwas ‘diwas’ Joshi (2nd for ₹53,484) heads-up. The event fell ₹38,500 short of its advertised guarantee, and 63 places got paid.

The former DPTXpress Burn N Turn champion Shrey ‘Kingsb30’ Baj also bagged a UVS title yesterday. He took down the ₹2.50 Lakhs GTD UVS #6 for ₹57,136 and ITM-ed three other events, collectively adding ₹86,814.

Spartan Poker

With the IOPC all set to kick off on July 11, Spartan Poker skipped this week’s The Millionaire, leaving The Elite to headline its Friday roster. Sporting a ₹11,000 entry buy-in, The Elite garnered a 269-player pool, but it wasn’t enough to meet its ₹30 Lakhs guarantee, leaving a ₹3.10 Lakhs overlay deficit.

We keep referring to Sagar ‘maniacmachi’ Choudhury as an online beast, and he keeps proving exactly why that nomenclature is apt for him. Since the start of July, Choudhury has already final-tabled seven events, and last night, he took down The Elite, booking his first title win for the month. Sagar Choudhury cut a three-way deal with Akshat ‘doubledown’ Sharma (runner-up for ₹4.48 Lakhs) and Meet ‘gogobhai’ Jariwala (3rd for ₹4.39 Lakhs) before taking down the title and a ₹4.75 Lakhs top prize.

Ranked #12 on the annual leaderboard, this was Sagar Choudhury’s third time winning The Elite. His stats: Lifetime Winnings: ₹6.66 Crores | Lifetime Profits: ₹1.12 Crores

Another player who has been on a rampage lately is Vivekk ‘MI7’ Dube. The man from Mumbai started off the week in style by taking down PokerBaazi’s BSS#4 SuperStack on Sunday. Sticking to his winning form, he came out on top in the ₹9.50 Lakhs GTD Futuristic last night for ₹1.86 Lakhs. A three-way deal saw Siddharth ‘champ-ak’ Pandey (runner-up for ₹1.31 Lakhs) and ‘Mokhembo69’ (3rd for ₹1.17 Lakhs) also secure podium finishes.

Vivekk Dube scored in two more flagships, pocketing ₹3.78 Lakhs in cumulative earnings. His ITM finishes include:

> 4th in PokerBaazi’s The Weekly Highroller for ₹1,13,538

> 8th in Spartan Poker’s The Elite for ₹78,300

 

PokerBaazi

PokerBaazi’s ₹12 Lakhs GTD The Weekly HighRoller was taken down by Thursday`s ₹1.50 Lakhs GTD Turbo winner Karan ‘collingwood’ Sitlani for a cool ₹3.40 Lakhs. Sitlani had won two tickets to the ₹11,000 entry buy-in event through ₹550 online satellites and used them both (and a third) to win the title. The user ‘Jack77777’ finished runner-up for ₹2.38 Lakhs. The event gathered 127 entries and collected a profitable ₹12.70 Lakhs prize pool.

The ₹10 Lakhs GTD Uppercut MAGIC Edition had PokerStars India reg Umesh ‘dhondu.chilll’ Sharma and PokerStars India’s “Star of the Month” – February Armaan ‘armaan007111’ Kochhar fighting it out for the top honors.
