The hectic Sunday grind on the domestic virtual felts are usually followed by a relatively quitter Monday and yesterday was no different. While most of the flagships registered overlays, Adda52’s ₹1 Crore GTD Full House began proceedings to play out the first of its six starting flights.
Deepak Singh proved the biggest Monday scorer after he championed the Adda52-hosted ₹8 Lakhs GTD Iron Man for ₹2 Lakhs. Ashish Nailwal picked two FT scores last night. He FTed the ₹7.5 Lakhs GTD The Big Show (3rd for ₹79,650) and also won the ₹1.5 Lakhs GTD Turbo for ₹46,870 on PokerBaazi.
Ankur Sehgal (runner-up in Spartan Poker’s ReCharge ₹9 Lakhs GTD for ₹1.19 Lakhs and Ranjeet Negi (won PokerStars India’s Battle Royale ₹5 Lakhs GTD for ₹1.03 Lakhs) were the other big Monday winners.
Here is a quick recap of the Monday tournament action.
Spartan Poker
Spartan Poker’s Monday roster was headlined by the ₹9 Lakhs GTD Recharge. The ₹2,200 buy-in event pulled in 441-strong entry field to post an overlay deficit of ₹18,000 and the top 39 places finished ITM.
Running from 8 PM to 3:52 AM, the event saw former Millionaire Legends runner-up ‘borntrouble’ (anonymity requested) decimating his competition to claim the lion’s share of the prize pool kitty worth ₹1.8 Lakhs. After this win, they now have ₹4.29 Crores in lifetime MTT scores.
The player outlasted Ankur ‘Crimemastergogo’ Sehgal (runner-up for ₹1.20 Lakhs) heads-up en-route to capturing the ReCharge title. Sehgal’s overall online scores are now ₹2.04 Crores.
