With a prize pool guarantee of ₹1 Crore, GPS The Millionaire ran the first of its three starting flights yesterday.

PokerGuru Ambassador Ratul ‘Atriohn’ Steves (209,512) and the former IOPC Main Event champion Harshit ‘HeroCaller’ Sanghi (182,764) carried forward the next top stacks.

The Friday night showstopper, the ₹35 Lakhs GTD GPS #40 The Elite, was the day`s biggest guaranteed tourney to play down to a winner. Starting at 9.30 PM, the ₹11,000 entry buy-in tourney experienced an overlay of ₹2 Lakhs from a turnout of 330 entries. It turned out to be an eight-hour-long run to the finish line, and wading past the crowd of regs was a familiar name on the domestic circuit Sahil ‘$lim$hady19’ Chutani. The former Young Gun defeated ‘Chickenbutter’ in his final clash to win ₹7.40 Lakhs. He now has lifetime winnings worth ₹1.57 Crores.
