Chirag Sodha and Rubin Labroo were caught in quite the battle last night. The 2020 India Poker Champion took down the day’s biggest guaranteed tourney, PokerBaazi’s ₹50 Lakhs GTD (6-Max) BSS Championship for ₹8.71 Lakhs, the day`s single-biggest score, following a three-way deal with Sodha (2nd for ₹6.36 Lakhs) and Gautam Kaul (3rd for ₹5,26,642)! He pocketed ₹9.03 Lakhs in Sunday earnings, breaching ₹2 Crores in annual winnings.
Chirag Sodha may have lost the BSS Championship title to Labroo. Still, the NPS 2.0 Main Event champion shipped the BSS HighRoller for ₹5.29 Lakhs, following a heads-up deal with Ashish Munot (2nd for ₹5.20 Lakhs), and topped the Sunday charts with ₹11.65 Lakhs in total winnings!

The elusive pro won Spartan Poker’s XXX #5 Sunday Xperience for ₹7.55 Lakhs after striking a heads-up deal with Young Gun Anujkumar Kodam (2nd for ₹6.77 Lakhs).
Mohammad Azhar raced his way to the top in Spartan Poker`s XXX #8 Supernova, winning the multi-flight flagship for ₹5.72 Lakhs and locking in ₹7.02 Lakhs overall from six deep runs!
