After closing out The Millionaire on Sunday, the GPS immediately moved over to the ₹50 Lakhs GTD Battlefield that played out its second flight yesterday. The ₹2,750 entry buy-in tourney had 349 entries entering Day 1B. After 28 levels of play, 52 players packed their bags for Day 2.

Running alongside the Battlefield was the ₹24 Lakhs GTD GPS Grand Mega Stack. A turnout of 755 entries in the ₹3,300 buy-in tourney resulted in an overlay of ₹1.35 Lakhs. After seven-and-half hours of rigorous play, mystery user ‘AthenaVolt’ came out on top to win the title and a ₹3.56 Lakhs top prize following a three-way deal with ‘Axone’ (runner-up for ₹3.11 Lakhs) and Anuj ‘Anuj16101’ Laddhad (3rd for ₹2.97 Lakhs). This was the winner’s second-best score on the site so far. For Laddhad, the three-way chop fetched him a career-best score, boosting his online record over ₹1 Crore.
