This past Sunday was indubitably one of the busiest this year as all the top guns came charging to make the most in the last few tournaments in India Poker Championship’s Final Table Series 6.0, PokerBaazi’s 1000X Series 3.0, and PokerStars India’s Micro Millions.
The micro and small stakes players also had a bountiful run in IndiaPlays’ inaugural IndiaPlays Micro Poker League that got underway on Friday, March 10.
The biggest attraction on Sunday was Spartan Poker`s ₹2 Crores GTD FTS #58 G.O.D (Game Of Diamonds), offering the champion a diamond-studded gold-emblazoned medallion. Chandigarh-based Ashish Ahuja grabbed all that and a place in FTS history as he bested the star-studded field to become the first-ever FTS G.O.D champion, pocketing a jaw-dropping ₹27.55 Lakhs and the last remaining seat on The Master Table that starts at 8 PM tonight.
Ahuja became the third player besides Abhinav Iyer and Laksh Pal Singh to carry a 1.5X starting stack to The Master Table, consolidating his chances to win the all-expenses paid trip worth ₹10 Lakhs to Las Vegas and added a whopping ₹29.79 Lakhs from five known deep finishes.
The FTS #58 G.O.D played down to a three-way deal between Ahuja, the FTS 3.0 Main Event champion Ankit Wadhawan (2nd for ₹26.65 Lakhs), and Sreekanth ‘Vhagar’ Narayan (3rd for ₹26.40 Lakhs).
Both Wadhawan and Narayan banked hefty Sunday payouts on the back of several other deep finishes – Wadhawan locking in ₹31.38 Lakhs in total winnings. Narayan collected ₹33.69 Lakhs, emerging as Sunday’s top scorer.
Mitesh Gupta was the fourth player who collected a seven-figure payday worth ₹13.02 Lakhs on the FTS #58 G.O.D. final table.
The FTS 6.0 closed with a bang on Sunday, awarding another two gold and four silver medallions. The FTS #40 Thursday Grande winner Abhinav Iyer captured his second FTS gold medallion in three days, shipping FTS #57 Sunday Grande for ₹17.06 Lakhs (his 11th seven-figure score). While the victory assured Iyer a 1.5X stack on the FTS The Master Table, he pocketed ₹17.73 Lakhs in Sunday earnings, hitting ₹4 Crores in online profits. Srihari Bang collected ₹11.96 Lakhs as the runner-up (won ₹18.90 Lakhs overall), taking over the #1 position on the March leaderboard.
