As the temperatures outside are simmering, the MTT action across the domestic sites has also been heating up. Wednesday was another electrifying one for online players as Spartan Poker’s Final Table Series, PokerBaazi’s 1000X Series, and PokerStars India’s Micro Millions dominated the proceedings, and four players scored seven figures in total earnings.

The former IOPC The Millionaire champion, Srihari Bang, led the mid-week charge. Despite close finishes in March’s The MoneyMaker 30.0 and other FTS flagships, a title win had eluded him for five months until last night. Bang championed Spartan Poker’s FTS #35 Wednesday Grande to claim his maiden FTS gold medallion, a seat on The Masters Table, and the day’s single biggest payout worth ₹15.84 Lakhs, crossing ₹3 Crores in tracked winnings on Spartan Poker.

The winningest player on our tracked database, Young Gun Gaurav Sood, pocketed ₹10.91 Lakhs (won ₹11.48 Lakhs overall) for his runner-up finish in FTS #35 Wednesday Grande (his second-best score of the year), catapulting right back to the top of the POY race.

Arvind Halaharvi won the day’s top attraction, Spartan Poker’s FTS #34 Wednesday Titan, taking home a colossal ₹15.16 Lakhs payday, the FTS gold medallion, and a seat on The Masters Table. Vikranth Varma placed second for ₹9.63 Lakhs (won ₹10.14 Lakhs overall).

Sashank Chakravarthy (Won FTS #36 Turbo for ₹3.11 Lakhs), Rising Star Aman Parakh (Won FTS #33 for ₹2 Lakhs), and Paras Anand (Won FTS #32 for ₹1.34 Lakhs) won FTS silver medallions on Wednesday.

Adwait Pol clinched his maiden 1000X title in PokerBaazi’s 1000X#24 Mini Main Event, scoring a career-best ₹6.23 Lakhs – over 3.6X his previous best score.

The mystery user ‘GS9’ took down Adda52’s Maverick for ₹3.83 Lakhs, and Abhiroop Gupta scored a runner-up payday of ₹2.18 Lakhs (won ₹2.39 Lakhs overall).

Circuit reg Harshad Barve took down PokerBaazi’s The Pride for ₹2.32 Lakhs following a heads-up deal with the two-time The Millionaire champion Rishab Malik (2nd for ₹2.15 Lakhs).

Abhishek Sonu (Won 1000X#25 PKO for ₹1.67 Lakhs), ‘fishbot’ (Won 1000X#23 for ₹1.08 Lakhs), and Naitik Jain (Won 1000X#22 for ₹80,414) won the other 1000X Series tournaments yesterday!

Haider Madraswala jumped over a three-month-long title slump with a win in PokerStars India’s Master Minds [8-Max], banking a winner’s paycheque worth ₹1.01 Lakhs. Abhijeet Kumar finished runner-up for ₹77,362 (won ₹1.09 Lakhs overall).
