The virtual poker world ignited last night with the thrilling conclusion of Adda52’s ₹1 Crore GTD Mega Millions, its eighth dazzling edition this year. Bharat ‘rungooserun’ Vasan, a G.O.A.T. 2.0 finalist, shattered his four-month title drought with a resounding victory in this weekend showstopper!

Vasan, a true poker titan, stormed through a colossal field of 946 contenders (598 unique) – from four adrenaline-fueled flights. The action culminated in a dramatic Day 2 showdown featuring 111 of poker’s elite. After 5.5 hours of intense, high-stakes play, Vasan emerged victorious, securing a life-changing ₹16.42 Lakhs payday (his second million-plus score!) through a shrewd heads-up deal. This marked his third major victory of 2024, proving he’s still at the top of his game.

But Vasan wasn’t done yet. He continued his winning spree, amassing a stunning total of ₹17.92 Lakhs from three additional tournaments, including a remarkable third-place finish in PokerBaazi’s (6-Max) BSS SPRINT. This impressive run catapulted him back into profitability for the year, solidifying his position as the day’s third-highest earner, trailing only the formidable ‘WholeLottaShove’ and Mitesh Gupta, the Natural8 India Sunday chart-toppers.

In a dazzling display of skill and strategy, Singh conquered the ₹25 Lakhs GTD NPS Main Event on Adda52, adding another prestigious title to his ever-growing list of accolades.

After a five-week hiatus from the winner’s circle since his victory in The Ballers last month, Singh returned with a vengeance, outmanoeuvring a colossal field of 2,133 entries (across nine starting flights).
