Daily Majors: Parab, Sapra, Mehta, Patni, Kanan & Shekhar Bank the Big Scores on Tuesday

It was again a relatively slow Tuesday with most of the flagships registering overlays. Today is a special day as the first-ever 2020 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Online series kicks off on WSOP.com. So without further ado, let’s do a recap of Tuesday`s action.

Spartan Poker

The featured tournament of the day on Spartan Poker was the ₹20 Lakhs GTD Mega Stack. The ₹3,300 buy-in tourney logged in 648 entries, having to fill in an overlay of ₹56,000. The heads-up play took place between Sumit ‘Sands Myth’ Sapra and Amar ‘Laughing Buddha’ Mehta (runner-up for ₹2.44 Lakhs). Finally, it was the more experienced Sapra who came out on top to win ₹3.87 Lakhs. One of the big winners in June, Sapra closed out the month with a bang, posting two FT finishes. His other deep run was an eighth-place finish in The Race for ₹19,325 that helped his collect over ₹4 Lakhs on Tuesday. Sapra is currently sitting in #11th position on the yearly leaderboard with ₹1.55 Crores in winnings. The runner-up Mehta also FT-ed two flagship tourneys last night. His second FT run was a seventh-place finish in PokerBaazi`s The Endeavour for ₹50,400.

The other Tuesday flagship, the ₹7.5 Lakhs GTD Race, registered a turnout of 528 entries collecting ₹7.92 Lakhs in the prize pool kitty. In the end, the anonymous player ‘andydlf3’ topped the event for ₹1.54 Lakhs, defeating Young Gun Gaurav ‘mozzie17’ Sood (runner-up for ₹98,050) in the heads-up play. Sood has been the numero uno player in the country for over seven weeks straight, and with ₹2.36 Crores in annual winnings, he is also the only player in the country with recorded winnings exceeding ₹2 Crores.

PokerBaazi

PokerBaazi’s Tuesday flagship, The Endeavour, logged in a 413-strong field, falling ₹54,400 short of the ₹15 Lakhs GTD prize pool. Shyam ‘ayyappa1963’ Sundar was the last player standing and took home ₹3.02 Lakhs. Kunal ‘VasooliChacha’ Patni, who has been in breakout form these last three months, placed runner-up for ₹2.11 Lakhs and presently boasts of ₹1.78 Crores in recorded career winnings. He was among the top winners on Sunday for his runner-up finish in Adda52’s AOPS Full House Finale for ₹12.60 Lakhs.

The third edition of PokerBaazi’s the Game Changer that offers a colossal ₹2 Crores GTD for a buy-in of ₹5,500, kicks-off today.

Shagun Jain had taken down the second edition for ₹40.78 Lakhs.

The star attraction of the day was the ₹25 Lakhs GTD AOPS Cowboys. The event registered a field of 621 entries to witness an overlay of about ₹16,000. Jairam ‘Keyser_Soze’ Parab was the last player standing in the field and walked away with a career-best ₹5.88 Lakhs. The online reg has been crushing the AOPS series as this was his sixth AOPS title.

PokerStars India

Boasting a ₹8 Lakhs prize pool guarantee, the ₹3,300 buy-in Sixth Sense brought together 276 entries, to accrue ₹8.28 Lakhs in the prize pool.
