With travel restrictions easing up within the country and live operations kicking off in Goa and exhaustion setting in for online poker players, it came as no surprise that quite a few of the Sunday flagships suffered overlays.

The biggest Sunday draw was undoubtedly Spartan Poker’s The Millionaire that ran its revamped edition for a second consecutive week. The inaugural IOPC Mastermind Aniket Waghmare captured his career-second Millionaire title, along with an impressive ₹20 Lakhs paycheque! Runner-up Ashit Sharma locked in an equally remarkable ₹11.27 Lakhs in cash prize.

Last week’s The Millionaire runner-up, Dhinesh Kumar, took down the Sunday Superstack for ₹10 Lakhs, following a heads-up deal with Shravan Chhabria (2nd for ₹8.27 Lakhs).

Meanwhile, after striking a heads-up deal with Rajaji Narendra Prajapati(runner-up for ₹3.56 Lakhs), Harsh Bubna won PokerBaazi’s BSS SuperStack for a personal-best ₹3.58 Lakhs payday.

Ankit Khattar, PokerGuru Ambassador Mithun Mahesh, Md Zeeshan, Tanmay Benara, Naman Puri, Shawn Jose, and Amit Gehani shipped the other Sunday marquees.

Adda52

Sunday on Adda52 was marked by the culmination of the ₹1 Crore GTD Nano Poker Series and headlining the show was the ₹25 Lakhs GTD Nano Main Event. The tournament had run six starting flights, drawing 1,396 entries to fill in ₹4.06 Lakhs in overlay shortfall. A total of 177 qualifiers made it to Day 2, but things didn’t go as expected. The Main Event was canceled mid-way due to some glitch on the site. Several players also took to social media complaining that they could not enter Day 2 despite having qualified with stacks. Shortly after the event took off, the players received the following message – “Due to an unexpected server outage, the tournament has been canceled. We are granting the prize money as per our policies. Apologies for the inconvenience. Keep playing.”

While the Main Event certainly proved to be a dampener, the ₹25 Lakhs GTD Adda52 Millions ran on schedule from 9 PM onwards. A turnout of 213 players resulted in a substantial ₹3.70 Lakhs overlay. It was 5.35 AM today when the winner was announced, with July’s IOPC -73 High Roller fourth-place finisher Ankit ‘loser05’ Khattar claiming the top prize of ₹6.95 Lakhs. Former Millionaire champion Dhinesh ‘dinzy009’ Kumar placed runner-up for ₹4.06 Lakhs.

Khattar, a former The Big Deal champion, also picked a 131st place score in The Millionaire worth ₹9,971, bringing his Sunday earnings to ₹7.05 Lakhs. He presently sits with over ₹1.14 Crore in lifetime winnings.

Continuing his hot run, last Sunday’s The Millionaire runner-up Dhinesh Kumar had another blockbuster Sunday. He did one better in Spartan Poker’s Sunday SuperStack, taking it down for ₹8.28 Lakhs. Kumar racked up over ₹12.45 Lakhs last night, bringing his lifetime tally to ₹3.45 Crore.
