The opening week of 2023 is shaping up to be an electrifying one as PokerBaazi’s 1000X Series 2.0 enters its fifth day today, even as the fifth edition of PokerStars India’s Winter Series goes live at 5 PM.

Grabbing Wednesday`s top score was the 2022 TLB leaderboard topper Rajneesh Thakur who rounded out ₹5.48 Lakhs in winnings last night. The online crusher most prominently took down PokerBaazi`s 1000X#16 Mini Main Event for ₹4.97 Lakhs, marking his first title victory in 2023.

Young Gun Sanat Mehrotra shipped Spartan Poker’s 9 PM flagship, Wednesday High Roller, for ₹4.39 Lakhs and added ₹5.27 Lakhs across six deep runs. Mehrotra chopped the Wednesday HR title three-way with Wilson Yomso (2nd for ₹3.96 Lakhs) and ‘FoldTo1BB’ (3rd for ₹3.75 Lakhs).
