Sitting on over ₹2 Crores in recorded winnings on the site, Pasricha was the biggest winner on Thursday as he pierced his way through the live-streamed ₹85 Lakhs GTD FTS#11 Big Game FT to win ₹16.44 Lakhs. Believe it or not, he made the FT in the ₹70 Lakhs GTD FTS #14 – Monster Stack as well, his third featured FT at FTS 2.0! The FTS Kick-Off runner-up Kushagra ‘Nkush’ Mehta missed out on the FTS Champions Medallion yet again, placing second for ₹10.37 Lakhs.

Spartan Poker’s ongoing FTS 2.0 had three tournaments lined up, with the final table of Wednesday’s ₹85 Lakhs GTD FTS#11 Big Game unleashing added excitement.
The Big Game was the fourth featured event of the series to be live-streamed.
The ₹16,500 entry buy-in event logged in 543 entries, and the final eight reconvened at 6 PM yesterday. Storming past a stacked FT after two hours of play was the inaugural FTS Main Event champion Arjun ‘lol this guy’ Pasricha. Pasricha had entered the final table with the second-biggest stack. He clashed over the title with the ₹75 Lakhs GTD FTS Kick-Off runner-up Kushagra ‘Nkush’ Mehta (runner-up for ₹10.37 Lakhs), defeating the latter to claim his second FTS title and a hefty ₹16.44 Lakhs.
