It was a fabulous Friday on the virtual felts with almost all the majors smashing their advertised guarantees. The biggest guaranteed tournament on offer was Spartan Poker’s The Elite ₹25 Lakhs GTD which crowned a champion in the one and only – Aditya ‘SuperuSer’ Sushant. The WSOP bracelet winner was in sublime form last night as along with the title victory, he enjoyed two more deep runs, in the PPL #37 ₹10 Lakhs GTD (32nd for ₹6,806) and the PPL #39 PLO DST ₹5 Lakhs GTD (6th for ₹26,786) respectively.
TGIF ₹10 Lakhs GTD was the other popular event hosted on Spartan Poker last night which was won by Vivek ‘KasolHieghts’ Singh for ₹1.94 Lakhs. Meanwhile, ‘Lazyman’ took down the ₹6 Lakhs GTD Daily Hi-Fi for ₹1.54 Lakhs while ‘pgp282’ topped the Ultimate PLO ₹2.5 Lakhs GTD for ₹68,750.
The PokerBaazi Premier League (PPL) is nearing the home stretch, and last night the series crowned winners in four high-value events. Headlining the list was ‘Acesunited’ who transcended across a gigantic field of 1,195 entries (754 unique and 441 re-entries) to ship the PPL #38 ValueTown ₹15 Lakhs GTD for ₹3.01 Lakhs.
Up-and-coming MTT player Vishal ‘Vishallb22’ Bajaj put up another applause-worthy performance last night as he reigned supreme in the PPL #37 ₹10 Lakhs GTD, claiming a ₹2.19 Lakhs payday for outlasting 349 entries (197 unique and 152 re-entries).

The PPL has just two more days to close and there are still a total of nine events that are yet to play out. While the PPL #42 M.E. Warm Up ₹20 Lakhs GTD and PPL #43 6-Max Megastack ₹10 Lakhs GTD are the events to watch out for later today, Sunday will bring another two blockbuster tournaments – PPL #47 BSS SuperStack ₹30 Lakhs GTD and PPL #46 The MoneyMaker ₹1 Crore GTD. Similar to how the PPL #35 High Roller 6-Max ₹70 Lakhs GTD stopped play when the six-handed final table was reached on Thursday night, The MoneyMaker will also play down to the final table tomorrow night which will then resume play on October 8 at the PokerBaazi LIVE poker room onboard the luxurious Casino Pride 2. The fire-cracking finish to the PPL will act as a precursor to the much-awaited second edition of the Baazi Poker Tour (BPT).
