PokerBaazi’s blockbuster event, the ₹5 Crore GTD EndBoss 2023, made a thunderous return last night, igniting the midweek poker scene. Hosting the first of five starting flights, PokerBaazi set the stage for an intense Sunday showdown, with 106 players earning their way into Day 2.

Adding to the exhilarating tournament lineup, Spartan Poker’s monumental ₹47-plus Crores GTD IOPC 15.0 and PokerStars India’s ₹3.60-plus Crores GTD Summer Series 3.0 get off the ground running today. Not to be outdone, PokerBaazi’s impressive ₹5.50-plus Crores GTD 1000X Series is set to launch this Sunday, June 4, further fueling the poker fervor.

As the fervor of online play escalates, the world of live poker is heating up with the 54th annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) that commenced on May 30. The quest for the most esteemed accolade in poker – the WSOP gold bracelet – is now well underway. However, Indian participation is only expected to pick up after the ongoing APT Summer Series Hanoi winds up!

Shifting our focus back to Wednesday’s chart-toppers, the recent Pocket Bullets winner Mayank Maruka hauled in the day`s biggest paycheque of ₹4.26 Lakhs. He dominated Adda52`s Maverick for a handsome ₹3.90 Lakhs in prize money, pushing his annual tally past the ₹1 Crore mark. Haider Madraswala settled for a respectable runner-up payday of ₹2.21 Lakhs.

Pradip Ghosh, Tuesday’s (7-Max) SPRINT runner-up, redeemed himself by triumphing in Spartan Poker’s Destiny 27.0 (IOPC Bubble) for ₹3.79 Lakhs. The victory also earned him a seat in the ₹10 Lakhs GTD Destiny 27.0 SnG Finale. Kushal Jain, last month’s Ultron champion, showcased his skills again, securing an impressive second-place finish with winnings of ₹2.56 Lakhs.

Sanjay Chaudhury celebrated a breakthrough in his poker journey by clinching PokerBaazi’s WTF title. His victory, accompanied by a substantial payday of ₹3.76 Lakhs, marked the end of an eight-month-long title drought. Ankit Bajaj, a two-time IOPC title winner who last won The Endeavour on May 16, displayed his consistency by securing the runner-up position with a payday of ₹2.63 Lakhs.

Ramu Kushwaha, the runner-up finisher of Sunday’s The MoneyMaker 36.0, secured his fifth title of the year in PokerBaazi’s The Pride for ₹2.55 Lakhs (won ₹2.71 Lakhs overall). The user ‘AkulG’ earned a personal-best ₹1.69 Lakhs as the runner-up.

Arjanveer Singh Chadha ended a three-week title drought with a victory march in PokerBaazi’s (7-Max) SPRINT for ₹1.75 Lakhs (won ₹1.86 Lakhs overall), pushing his online profits to a staggering ₹5 Crores. Before claiming his fourth SPRINT title on PokerBaazi, Chadha sealed the deal after striking a heads-up deal with Guruprasad Gupta, who earned an equally commendable ₹1.75 Lakhs for his second-place finish.

PokerStars India reg ‘rkrohan@&’ broke a five-month title slump last night by taking down Monster Stack [6-Max PKO] for a site-best 1.71 Lakhs (93,015 in bounties). ‘nikpokernoob’ collected 88,848 (10,515 in bounties) in second place.
