The online MTT turnouts on Wednesday were not any better than Tuesday, as most flagships were run over by overlays. The two featured attractions, PokerBaazi’s Baazi Turbo Series 3.0 and IndiaPlays’ rake-free The Dominator Series, along with the significant value in all the regular tournaments, were a delight for the tournament crowd.

Headlining the Wednesday charts was the iconic Aditya Agarwal. The latest IOPC 14.0 The Crown champion may not have won any titles. Still, he pulled off two top finishes in Spartan Poker’s Wednesday High Roller (2nd for ₹3.98 Lakhs) and PokerBaazi’s The Pride (5th for ₹86,700), netting ₹4.85 Lakhs overall, becoming the third player to cross ₹1 Crore on the annual charts!

The 2022 POY, Young Gun Anuj Yadav, championed Spartan Poker`s Wednesday High Rollerr for ₹4.12 Lakhs, striking a heads-up deal with Agarwal.

Gaurav Bhandari had a lot going for him last night, for he won Spartan Poker`s Destiny 26.0 for ₹4.23 Lakhs, closing out a seven-month-long title drought. The win ensured Bhandari a seat in the Destiny 26.0 SnG Finale.

Shubham Agarwal finally ended a four-week-long title curse by championing the Baazi Turbo Series Wednesday headliner, PokerBaazi`s BTS#20 Mini Main Event, for ₹4.21 Lakhs (his third-best online score).

Sreeharsha Boneni had his best online run yet last night, reeling in a career-best ₹3.98 Lakhs from three ITM finishes. He made the big breakthrough in Adda52`s Maverick, winning the tournament for ₹3.90 Lakhs – his second title victory in three days. Sunday`s Armageddon runner-up finisher Debneil Mukherjee scored ₹2.21 Lakhs in second place.

Bharat Suda shipped PokerBaazi’s The Pride for a site-best ₹2.56 Lakhs, ending an 11-month-long title slump. Chandan Arora finished runner-up for ₹1.70 Lakhs.

Ashish Nailwal championed PokerBaazi’s (7-Max) SPRINT for ₹2.07 Lakhs (won ₹2.17 Lakhs overall), while the two-time POY, Young Gun Gaurav Sood won the Daily Value Boost for ₹1.48 Lakhs (won ₹2.63 Lakhs overall). Like Aditya Agarwal, Sood also crossed the ₹1 Crore mark in annual earnings.

Raghav Ananth went on a blistering mid-week run, winning PokerBaazi`s BTS#19 (₹1.28 Lakhs) and Spartan Poker`s Daily Turbo (1.08 Lakhs), rounding up an impressive ₹2.40 Lakhs across three deep runs.

The current BTS leaderboard topper Uttam Gope (Won BTS#18 Hyper for ₹91,560) and ‘Playcool’ (Won BTS#17 for ₹62,008) claimed the other Baazi Turbo Series titles on Wednesday.

Young Gun Sanat Mehrotra was the last player standing in PokerStars India’s Master Minds [8-Max] and won the title for ₹1.01 Lakhs (won ₹3.01 Lakhs overall).

Divyansh Chandra, Shashank Shekhar, Sanjay Khanna, Mandar Madaye, Sandeep Varma RS, Swapnil Patil, Kamal Punjabi, and Rohan Patwa shipped the other Wednesday marquees.
