Wednesday saw a similar response to Tuesday in terms of player turnouts, with the vast majority of the day’s flagships falling under the overlay avalanche. Spartan Poker’s The Millionaire Series continues to march ahead in full steam and the weekend roster looks to be a real crowd-puller!

Here’s a complete recap of the day’s action!

Spartan Poker

Spartan Poker’s The Millionaire Series played out another three tourneys on Day 3, completing nine tourneys in total. Dominating the day`s schedule was the ₹35 Lakhs GTD Millionaire Series #8. The 8 PM tourney logged in 641 entries, overlaying ₹2.95 Lakhs.

The second featured tourney of the day, the ₹12 Lakhs GTD Millionaire Series #7, saw birthday boy Sandeep ‘SandeeSingh’ Singh decimating a field of 454 entries, including Sidhartha ‘mainhunfish’ Tulsyan (runner-up for ₹1.60 Lakhs) in the heads-up play to capture the title and ₹2.41 Lakhs in first-place prize money.
