Who says Thursdays are a dull day for poker? Yes, we are fast approaching the weekend that will roll out Spartan Poker’s The Millionaire Legends ₹1.5 Crore GTD. But, with the site’s daily dose of action-packed tourneys running alongside the PokerBaazi Monthly Value Series (PMVS), Adda52`s Online Poker Series (AOPS), and a host of other high-octane events, the online felts are buzzing like it is Sunday every day!
Spartan Poker’s Thursday line-up was dominated by the Ultron, which looking at the increased online traction, upped its guarantee from ₹25 Lakhs to ₹35 Lakhs. Despite the hike, the tournament managed to clock in 976 entries (425 unique, 194 re-entries and 357 re-buys), making for a guarantee-smashing ₹39.04 Lakhs prize pool. Taking the title home was a familiar name on the domestic circuit, Manish ‘potlords’ Gandhi. Gandhi struck a heads-up deal with his final opponent, ‘Gangnamstyle’ and closed out his night with a sizeable ₹6.13 Lakhs added to his account, while the latter finished runner-up for ₹5.99 Lakhs.
Like the Ultron, The Big Bounty played out with a hiked-up guarantee of ₹8.5 Lakhs. Walking away with the top honors and the winner’s cheque worth ₹1.93 Lakhs was ‘Callmebabe’ who topped the 482-strong field (251 unique, 47 re-entries and 184 re-buys) and pipped Avinash ‘spacecadet’ Tauro (runner-up for ₹1.28 Lakhs) to the finish line.
The PMVS is presently underway in full-swing at PokerBaazi, and the most profitable campaigner on Thursday turned out to be online reg Sahil ‘ImHighIshove’ Mahboobani. The Delhi-based pro was up against 363 others in the PMVS #8 HR Summit ₹30 Lakhs GTD. Dominating the tough field and his heads-up opponent, Jai ‘jksisme’ Saha, Mahboobani clinched the title for a sizeable ₹7.64 Lakhs bankroll boost. Saha pocketed ₹5.35 Lakhs for finishing runner-up.
Anmol ‘anzzzzz’ Mehta has been another trailblazer this week. In addition to capturing The Endeavour title a few days ago, Mehta has posted numerous deep runs in marquee tournaments recently. On Thursday, he was among the top contenders for the PMVS #9 10 Lakhs GTD title. He managed to get past most of the 394 entrants but eventually lost the battle to the 2020 India Poker Champion Rubin ‘kornkid’ Labroo. Labroo collected ₹2.48 Lakhs for the win, while Mehta padded his bankroll by ₹1.73 Lakhs.
The biggest star on Thursday was none other than our very own PokerGuru Ambassador, Naresh Veeravalli. The Hyderabad-based pro has been unstoppable ever since the lockdown, because of which the cash game reg has started playing online MTTs. This former PGT champion stormed past a field of 896 runners to take down the AOPS Godfather ₹30 Lakhs GTD last night for no less than ₹10.30 Lakhs! The finale was an ‘in-stable’ affair, with Veeravalli coming up against another PokerGuru Ambassador Ashish ‘rocky3705’ Ahuja. Ahuja had to concede defeat, but he nonetheless collected ₹5.91 Lakhs for his efforts. The tournament itself had a guarantee-smashing run, collecting ₹44.80 Lakhs in the prize pool.
Veeravalli’s MTT skills were on the fore as he also finished runner-up in the AOPS 11th Hr PKO for ₹42,557, while the event was taken down by ‘kvy13’ for a ₹69,121 paycheque.
The other big-ticket AOPS event to crown a champion was the Big PLO ₹7.50 Lakhs. With 143 entries, the tournament rode past the break-even mark to accrue a ₹9.75 Lakhs prize pool. Deepak ‘peacelover’ Singh proved to be the last player standing and took home ₹2.63 Lakhs for the win.
PokerStars India had three veritably high-value tournaments running yesterday, and looking at the scorecard, it is apparent that PokerGuru Ambassador Rohit Mishra is on an unbeatable streak! Mishra has won no less than five titles this week, and last evening he was back in action to add to his tally. Beating a field of 192 contenders, Mishra, who plays as ‘PillowFight22’ on the site, took down the Thursday Thrill ₹5 Lakhs GTD for ₹94,294 – his sixth title in three days!
The headline tourney on the site that only yesterday announced former Indian cricket captain, MS Dhoni, as its new brand ambassador was the Highroller ₹15 Lakhs GTD. The event brought in a 260-player field (141 unique and 119 re-entries), obliterating the prize pool guarantee with a collection of ₹18.20 Lakhs. In the end, online crusher Shravan ‘lukBo$$13’ Chhabria walked away with the title and the top prize of ₹3.10 Lakhs following a heads-up deal with ‘spinnnerr’ (runner-up for ₹2.96 Lakhs).
