Here is a complete recap of the day`s action.

Spartan Poker

Spartan Poker’s ‘FABruary’ rolled out the ₹16 Lakhs GTD Mega Stack (Millionaire Bubble) last night. Running from 8 PM to 3:56 AM, the event locked in 598 entrants, gathering a guarantee-smashing ₹17.94 Lakhs prize pool. In the end, Prakash ’Robin Van Charsi’ Gupta overcame seasoned MTT pro Rajat ‘GoldSpot’ Sharma heads-up to claim the title and top prize of ₹3.48 Lakhs. Sharma took home ₹2.20 Lakhs for his runner-up finish, while Monday’s The Big Show third-place finisher, Ankur ‘Crimemastergogo’ Sehgal, came in third, yet again, for ₹1.59 Lakhs.

Prakash Gupta is fresh off a spectacular run at the IOPC January Edition, where he finished ITM in a jaw-dropping 67 events, narrowly missing the leaderboard top seat to Bhanu Prakash KC. His #2 rank fetched him ₹20 Lakhs in leaderboard prizes. He presently sits on ₹61.78 Lakhs in lifetime earnings, ₹26.30 Lakhs of which he has won on Spartan Poker.

Neha ‘Nkush’ Saini bubbled the Mega Stack in 56th place. The ‘Millionaire Bubble’ ensured that she won a free ticket to the Day 1A of the ₹1 Crore GTD The Millionaire set for February 12.
