The major poker platforms all seem to be running a series catering to the mid-low stakes players. As for the Tuesday flagships, most of them had to fill in hefty overlays. The day clearly belonged to Armaan Kochhar, who picked up an incredible seven FT scores that included the Uppercut Mini title.

Spartan Poker

The Tuesday flagship at Spartan Poker, the ₹18 Lakhs GTD Mega Stack, logged in 554 entries to fall ₹1.38 Lakhs short of its listed guarantee.

The ₹7 Lakhs GTD The Race wrangled in 424 entries to post an overlay of ₹64,000. After almost seven-and half hours of play, mystery user ‘ingloriousbasterds’ championed the tourney to win their second-best score on Spartan Poker worth

₹1.40 Lakhs. The player is a reg on Spartan Poker with ₹39.95 Lakhs in recorded earnings on the site at a net loss of ₹7.57 Lakhs. Young Gun Kanchan ‘Midge Maisel’ Sharma finished runner-up for ₹93,310. Sharma now has ₹1.04 Crores in annual winnings with her lifetime record touching ₹1.41 Crores.
