Daily Majors: Vaibhav Sharma, Aditya Singh, Anurag Srivastava & Clinton Tavares Fly Through the Friday Flagships

The action across the Friday flagships was polarized, given the absence of a sizable lot of regs busy attending the 2023 WPT Prime Vietnam and PokerBaazi’s The Weekly HighRoller getting canceled. However, the relatively softer fields made for a scoring frenzy among the regs who stayed back.

Online sensation Vaibhav Sharma stole the show on Friday, triumphantly capturing the top spot in Adda52’s The Ballers for the second time, netting a hefty ₹4.41 Lakhs. Sharma amassed a total of ₹6.25 Lakhs from five cashes, which included two additional final table finishes.

Aditya Singh also made his mark on Friday, maintaining his May hot streak by winning Spartan Poker’s The Elite (6-Max) (IOPC Bubble), pocketing ₹4.25 Lakhs. His consistent performance allowed him to accumulate ₹4.91 Lakhs across two known final table finishes. ‘Memekings’, demonstrating that his Tuesday High Roller third place finish was not a one-off event, secured a heads-up deal for second place and ₹3.81 Lakhs.

The anonymous player, ‘Whoarewe’, made a remarkable appearance in PokerBaazi’s Friday flagship, the ₹50 Lakhs GTD WTF, and took home the day’s largest single score of ₹6.60 Lakhs. Meanwhile, ‘Torsin’ outdid their previous best score by over threefold, netting ₹4.05 Lakhs for a runner-up finish and offsetting all previous losses!

The lastest Tuesday High Roller champion, Anurag Srivastava, demonstrated his enduring prowess by securing not one but two titles on Friday! The highlight of his performance was his victories in PokerBaazi’s Daily Value Boost (for ₹1.43 Lakhs) and (7-Max) Daily SPRINT (for ₹82,000), amassing ₹2.38 Lakhs across three deep runs.

Wednesday’s Bounty Madness champion Clinton Tavares accomplished three substantial scores totaling over ₹2.23 Lakhs. His notable performances include PokerStars India’s The Big Bash [8-Max, PKO] (2nd for ₹1.17 Lakhs) and Adda52’s Friday Bounty (1st place for ₹1.03 Lakhs).

Following a ten-week title drought, Utkarsh Vaish made a compelling comeback with a resounding victory in Spartan Poker’s Futuristic – Triple Chance, claiming a top prize of ₹1.69 Lakhs (won ₹2.17 Lakhs overall), while Manish Jangid secured a runner-up payout of ₹1.14 Lakhs.

PokerStars India loyalist ‘thisisme16’ led the pack in the site’s Friday main event, The Big Bash [8-Max, PKO], claiming the top prize of ₹2.25 Lakhs (₹1.24 Lakhs in bounties).

Dhirendra Kumar, Haider Madraswal, Mayank Maruka, Ravinder Singh, Abhishek Chaurasia, Nikhil Unnikrishnan, and Prithvi Singh won the other Friday marquees.
