It was an engaging Tuesday as Spartan Poker’s ₹25 Crores GTD IOPC July edition and PokerBaazi’s IMPS series kept the players busy. Here is a quick recap.

Spartan Poker

The biggest event on the sixth day of the IOPC series, the ₹35 Lakhs GTD Mega Stack, logged in 1,320 entries, to cruise past it’s listed guarantee and accrued ₹39.60 Lakhs in the prize pool. It took nearly 10 hours for the event to crown a champion, and in the end, it was the mystery player ‘Jhumroo’ who whisked the title away from Young Gun and former Millionaire Legends champion Devang ‘equity_hunter’ Yadav. The latter had a commanding 8:1 chip lead in heads-up, but a system crash cost him the title and almost ₹3 Lakhs as ‘Jhumroo’ walked away with a ₹7.39 Lakhs top prize, while Yadav had to make do with ₹4.49 Lakhs for his runner-up finish.

The other primetime tourney, the ₹12 Lakhs GTD IOPC #40, registered 1,028 entries to collect a guarantee-busting prize pool worth ₹15.42 Lakhs. ‘bluffer’ traversed the field to win the title for ₹2.24 Lakhs after a three-way deal with ‘ephemeral’ (runner-up for ₹2.09 Lakhs) and Vishnu ‘violator’ Khandelwal (3^rd for ₹1.77 Lakhs).

The ₹10 Lakhs GTD IOPC #41 Destiny IOPC Edition garnered a 693-strong field Former Millionaire winner Pulkit ‘Championplayer’ Goyal emerged victorious and claimed the lion’s share of the ₹13.86 Lakhs prize pool worth ₹3.54 Lakhs.

PokerBaazi

PokerBaazi’s ₹15 Lakhs GTD Endeavour pulled in a 456-strong field, piling in ₹15.79 Lakhs in the prize pool kitty. Following several hours of intense play, Rohan ‘AnshAA’ Soman outlasted the competition and took home ₹3.17 Lakhs. He defeated Aaryan ‘Aaryan99’ Agarwal in the heads-up, with the latter receiving ₹2.22 Lakhs for his second-place finish. Soman has won numerous other titles on the site, but this was his first time winning the Endeavour,and the score improved his lifetime tally to ₹81.04 Lakhs.

Adda52

In the end, Sajjan ‘HaiTohHai’ Kumar came out on top after beating Vishal ‘IsnapUcry’ Madan (runner-up for ₹1.27 Lakhs) heads-up to win ₹2.13 Lakhs.

PokerStars India

Like last Tuesday, the ₹8 Lakhs GTD Sixth Sense failed to meet its posted guarantee yesterday. The ₹3,300 buy-in tourney brought together 223 entries, registering a landslide ₹1.31 Lakhs overlay. The field whittled down to a heads-up between Sandeep ‘effuno007’ Varma and ‘iAlwaysWIN007.’ Eventually, it was the latter who clinched the title for ₹1.47 Lakhs. Varma banked the runner-up prize worth ₹1.07 Lakhs. Varma’s last six-figure score dates back to June 8, when he had finished runner-up in the Sunday Highroller for ₹2.94 Lakhs. His overall scorecard reflects ₹1.49 Crore in online earnings.

The site’s ₹5 Lakhs GTD Micro Millions-24 DeepStack recorded 223 entries, falling ₹54,000 short of the break-even mark. The top two finishers decided on a heads-up chop that saw Vishal ‘DeadGrinder1’ Madan taking the title and ₹85,252. He may have missed the title in Adda52`s Hitman, but he more than made up for it by shipping the Micro Millions DeepStack. The runner-up ‘whiskey1601’ took home ₹85,252 courtesy the deal.

After 1,320 entries were counted with each ponying up the ₹3,300 buy-in, the tourney gathered a massive ₹39.60 Lakhs prize pool.

He tried to login using his mobile but entered the password incorrectly three times for a 10 mins sit-out period. Those ten minutes cost him dearly – ₹3 Lakhs and the title to be exact – as by the time he could get back in the tournament, he was staring at a 3:1 chip deficit. Yadav ended up conceding the title to ‘Jhumroo,’ who took home ₹7.39 Lakhs as the top prize. Yadav collected ₹4.49 Lakhs for his runner-up finish.
