The Tuesday flagships had to fill in hefty overlays even as Spartan Poker’s Ultimate Value Series commenced its run yesterday. It`s time to get ready for PokerBaazi’s ₹2 Crores GTD Game Changer 4.0 that starts its five-day-run today.
Here`s the complete recap of all that went down yesterday.
Spartan Poker
Headlining the Tuesday MTT lineup on Spartan Poker was the ₹18 Lakhs GTD Mega Stack. The weekly flagship logged in 589 entries to fall ₹33,000 short of its listed guarantee.

After nearly eight hours of play, the mystery user ‘FunkeyFox’ took down the title for ₹1.39 Lakhs, defeating PokerGuru Ambassador Ankit ‘Shippament’ Wadhawan (runner-up for ₹88,579) heads-up.
