Daily Majors: Dhirendra Kumar, Abhinav Iyer, Kartik Ved, & Peushup Eugene Bank Seven-Figures on a Blockbuster Friday

While ₹1 Crore GTD tourneys are generally reserved for Sundays, Friday brought a rare sight with Spartan Poker running not one – but two ₹1 Crore GTD events!

IPC`s Final Table Series (FTS) has indeed been a revelation. Even outside the massive guarantees, the world-class streaming of the featured events at the FTS has been an entertaining spectacle for the poker community. Friday set the pace for an action-packed weekend with the FT of the ₹1 Crore GTD FTS#8 Big Game racing to find a winner. Starting a few hours later was the ₹1 Crore GTD FTS#11 Highroller.

There was more than enough action at the other online platforms as well. The WPT Online India (WPTOI) series on Adda52 had an impressive lineup of flagships running while PokerStars India and PokerBaazi hosted their weekly Highroller tournies.

Let’s take a quick look at yesterday`s highlights.

Spartan Poker

There was a significant rail watching the cards-up FT live-stream of the ₹1 Crore GTD FTS#8 Big Game. Dhirendra ‘dhiru91’ Kumar earned his day under the spotlights as he outplayed the start of the FT chip leader Kartik ‘TheInternetKid’ Ved heads-up to grab the mammoth ₹19.50 Lakhs cash prize. In addition to the champion`s medallion and a gift hamper from Spartan Poker, Kumar also crossed the benchmark ₹1-Crore in recorded earnings with the win. Ved banked a seven-figure score worth ₹12.40 Lakhs for his runner-up finish.

Just as the FTS#8 Big Game was winding up, the ₹1 Crore GTD FTS#11 Highroller fired up the engines. Starting at 8 PM, the ₹80,000 entry buy-in tourney brought together 156 entrants (93 unique players, 35 re-entries, and 28 re-buys) and played down till the six-handed FT was formed. Bagging the overnight chip lead was Rajesh ‘RULS’ Singh (2,206,826), and he has some fierce competition breathing down on him. MTT crushers Raghav ‘thatssosick’ Bansal (1,490,774) and Aditya ‘SuperuSer’ Sushant (1,322,962) round out the top three stacks of the day. Seasoned pros like Sajal Gupta (1,125,250), Jagdeep Singh (1,089,616) & PokerGuru Ambassador Gokul Raj (564,572) bring up the rear on the star-studded FT lineup. The FT resumes at 6 PM today, with the cards-up FT live-stream starting soon after. You can watch the live-stream on the social media channels of PokerGuru.

The other FTS tourney, the ₹30 Lakhs GTD FTS#12, commenced at 10 PM and went on for over eight and a half hours before PokerGuru Ambassador Naresh ‘FreeFlow’ Veeravalli cut his way through the guarantee-smashing 611-entry field to win ₹4.97 Lakhs. He struck a heads-up deal with Young Gun Siddharth ‘schemer77’ Karia, who collected an equally impressive ₹4.66 Lakhs for his runner-up finish.

Young Gun Arsh ‘BigggTymeR’ Grover is just unstoppable at the moment! He added another title to his glittering resume by taking down the ₹10 Lakhs GTD FTS#10 last night. He made his way through 534 entrants to pick-up ₹1.60 Lakhs for the win, following a three-way deal with ‘mainhunfish’ (runner-up for ₹1.52 Lakhs) and Shashank ‘Goldfish097’ Shekhar (3^rd for ₹1.21 Lakhs).

Grover FT-ed at least two other tourneys on Friday, finishing sixth in the WPT India High Roller for ₹2.86 Lakhs and seventh in PokerStars India`s Battle Royale for ₹14,556.

PokerStars India

The Friday mainstay on PokerStars India, the ₹12 Lakhs GTD Highroller, brought in 143 entries who ponied up the ₹7,700 entry buy-in to leave an overlay of ₹1.99 Lakhs, and the top 23 places walked past the money line. Closing out a title win was PokerGuru Ambassador Ankit ‘b00mtr00p3r’ Wadhawan, who took away ₹2.49 Lakhs after defeating Anujkumar ‘aatmaan108’ Kodam (runner-up for ₹1.88 Lakhs) in the heads-up play.

The other featured tourney, the ₹5 Lakhs GTD Battle Royale, experienced an overlay of ₹45,000 after clocking in 182 entries. Vaibhav ‘vaibsss’ Bhatia fired six bullets before making it to the top for a ₹1.06 Lakhs payday. Anish ‘ALWAYSTHENUTS’ Suri finished runner-up for ₹58,005 (₹40,398 in prize money, ₹17,607 in bounties).

Adda52

The WPT Online India series is on its last legs and will be closing out its smashing inaugural run this weekend.

The ₹2.5 Crore GTD WPT India Main Event ran its fifth starting flight yesterday with 248 hopefuls entering the field. Only 24 players advanced through to Day 2. Harry ‘Harrys111’ Singh (465,264), Ashok Kumar ‘justmissed’ Kailash (460,730), and ‘kapilsuneja’ (313,684) bagged the top three stacks of the day.

The ₹15 Lakhs GTD WPT India Madness was another tourney that played out its fifth starting flight, i.e., Day 1E.

The ₹50 Lakhs GTD WPT India High Roller was the WPT Trophy event of the day. Boasting a ₹27,500 entry buy-in, the tourney pulled in 270 entries (149 unique and 121 re-entries), and it took almost 10 hours of play to find a champion. Coming out on top of this competitive field was none other than India`s first solo bracelet winner Abhinav ‘checkshove’ Iyer, who added a WPT Trophy and ₹17.55 Lakhs to his name. Peushup ‘peushup’ Eugene banked an impressive ₹10.46 Lakhs after finishing runner-up!

The ₹5 Lakhs GTD WPT Classic registered 308 players – falling ₹79,580 short of its listed guarantee. TLB crusher Neeraj ‘Kumartomar’ Kumar was the last player standing in the tourney and pocketed ₹1.09 Lakhs after striking a heads-up deal with Manash ‘Ravenclaws’ Kalita (runner-up for ₹91,247).

The ₹5 Lakhs GTD WPT PLO Bounty gathered 188 entries, and the top 23 places took a bite out of the ₹5.08 Lakhs prize pool. Navin ‘kutkut69A’ Bohania took down the tourney to win ₹1.42 Lakhs.

Adding the 1,024 entries from the first two opening days, the tourney has recorded 1,510 entries so far.

PokerBaazi’s signature Friday tourney, the ₹15 Lakhs GTD The Weekly HighRoller, clocked in 156 entries, and the top 18 places earned a share of the ₹15.60 Lakhs prize pool.
