It was a scorching Tuesday on the virtual felts with Spartan Poker’s Mega Stack ₹25 Lakhs GTD leading the charge. The day’s headliner recorded 985 entries (455 unique entries, 189 re-entries, and 341 re-buys), collecting a prize pool worth ₹29.55 Lakhs. A mystery user going by the moniker ‘rajabhaiya’ proved to be the most dominant force at the event and defeated the formidable Shashank ‘westworld’ Jain (runner-up for ₹3.48 Lakhs) heads-up to walk away with the title and ₹5.63 Lakhs in hard cash. As for Jain, who is coming off after a blistering Sunday that saw him winning two flagships, this latest score has taken his April MTT winnings over ₹18.50 Lakhs!

Like the Mega Stack, the other big-ticket tourney on Spartan Poker, The Race ₹10 Lakhs GTD, also crushed the guarantee by logging in ₹12.28 Lakhs in prize money. When the curtains finally came down, it was seasoned pro Pranay ‘kabira speaking’ Chawla, who took away the lion’s share worth ₹2.06 Lakhs.

At PokerBaazi, a server issue forced the site to cancel all its scheduled tournaments starting after 7:30 pm yesterday because of which its flagship tourney Endeavour ₹15 Lakhs GTD did not take place. However, the Endeavour Mini ₹7.5 Lakhs GTD did take place, and taking down the tourney along with ₹1.87 Lakhs up top was Guruprasad ‘fish_calling’ Gupta. Surprisingly, with a field of 163 entries (88 unique runners and 75 re-entries), the first-place prize money was less than the ₹2.61 Lakhs overlay in the tourney!

The most prominent winner on Adda52 was ‘vihag_underdog’, who shipped the Hitman ₹7.5 Lakhs GTD to win ₹2.76 Lakhs in prize money. Jagat ‘jk307′ Bhandari (runner-up for ₹1.67 Lakhs) and PokerGuru Ambassador Ashish ‘rocky3705’ Ahuja (3rd for ₹1.21 Lakhs) rounded out the podium finishers in the event.

PokerStars India’s Sixth Sense ₹10 Lakhs GTD was among the few marquees that failed to meet their advertised guarantees last night. The Tuesday flagship got hit by an overlay of ₹22,000 on the back of a field of 326 entries (174 unique entries and 152 re-entries). The tourney came down to a thrilling finale between our Young Gun Anuj ‘brockLesnar95’ Yadav and MTT crusher Anmol ‘Kaanchancheena’ Mehta, but it was the former who ultimately prevailed to win the title and ₹1.78 Lakhs in prize money. Mehta, who has been another consistent winner with two FT finishes on Monday, added another ₹1.26 Lakhs to his bankroll for finishing runner-up.
