Daily Majors: Nitin Rawat, Aditya Singh, Ayush Garg & Vikk Sharma Bank the Top Wednesday Scores

March has been action-packed from the get-go, but the players got a much-needed break mid-week as tournament action simmered down to the usual flagships. The player fatigue is palpable, and most big-ticket Wednesday tournaments registered overlays. We expect the trend to continue as a large contingent of regs is busy attending the 2023 WPT Prime Cambodia.

Still, micro-stakes players had their hands full, with the IndiaPlays Micro Poker League running full throttle and PokerDangal’s Dangal Micro Value Series starting today.

Nitin Rawat stood tall on the Wednesday charts, accumulating the day’s best ₹5.12 Lakhs from seven deep runs. The poker streamer championed Spartan Poker`s Destiny 26.0 for ₹4.23 Lakhs, becoming the fifth player to advance to the ₹10 Lakhs GTD Destiny 26.0 Finale. Abhimanyu Mittal scored ₹2.85 Lakhs in second place, adding ₹4.65 Lakhs in total winnings.

Improving upon his two FT finishes earlier in the week, Venkatesh Mukundan took down Spartan Poker’s Wednesday High Roller (6-Max) for ₹4.09 Lakhs (won ₹4.27 Lakhs overall), striking a heads-up deal with Aditya Singh (2nd for ₹3.94 Lakhs).

Aditya Singh finished second among the Wednesday winners with at least ₹4.72 Lakhs in total winnings from deep runs in Wednesday High Roller, PokerBaazi’s (7-Max) Daily SPRINT (2nd for ₹57,770), and Daily Value Boost (7th for ₹20,140).

The two-time The Millionaire winner Ayush Garg shipped Adda52’s Maverick for ₹3.90 Lakhs (won ₹4.36 Lakhs overall), ending a near month-long title drought.

Mayank Maruka had a smashing Wednesday session, rounding up ₹2.12 Lakhs across five finishes. His best score came in Pocket52’s Pocket Jacks, which he won for ₹90,000.

PokerBaazi user ‘rema’ championed The Pride for ₹2.79 Lakhs, denying Tuesday’s The Mint finalist Vikk Sharma (2nd for ₹1.85 Lakhs) the title.

The mystery user ‘darkblazer’ won PokerBaazi`s (7-Max) SPRINT for a site-best ₹1.91 Lakhs following a heads-up deal with Abhishek Batra (2nd for ₹1.60 Lakhs).

The GameChanger 4.0 champion JaiKiran Kumar kept his title-winning spree going by taking down his third tournament this week in PokerBaazi’s Daily Value Boost for ₹1.45 Lakhs.

Neha Kamath was the female head-turner of the day. She posted four ITM finishes, including one title victory and two runner-up scores, to boost her bankroll by ₹1.36 Lakhs. Kamath shipped PokerBaazi’s (7-Max) Daily SPRINT for ₹76,637, defeating the day’s breakout scorer Aditya Singh (2nd for ₹58,000), in heads-up play.

The reigning Legend Poker Series Main Event champion Dhinesh Kumar posted his first title victory in three months in PokerStars India’s Master Minds [8-Max], collecting the top prize of ₹1.04 Lakhs (won ₹1.31 Lakhs overall). Yesterday’s Pocket Jacks champion, Mayank Maruka, placed second for ₹79,376.

Pranav Khandalkar, Vignesh Kumar, Sylvester Vankar, Puneet Mishra, Arunav Mittal, Clinton Tavares, Vaibhav Arora, Prerit Bais, Sayan Bhattacharjee, Nishkarsh Madavi, Ramesh Arakeri, Virendra Jangir, and Manoj Yadav won the other marquee tournaments yesterday.
