Spartan Poker’s inaugural Diwali Celebration Series powered down to a dhamakedaar close earlier today! And with the Diwali home games taking center stage for the next few days, it looks like the digital felts will go through a dull period for the remainder of Diwali week!
But worry not! Things will spark up the week following Diwali with Spartan Poker’s ₹17 Crores GTD Final Table Series kicking off on October 27 and PokerBaazi’s ₹7 Crores GTD G.O.A.T commencing on October 30!
Coming back to Sunday’s action, Spartan Poker’s Sunday headliner, ₹1.50 Crores GTD DCS #65 High – Main Event – expectedly was the talk of poker town. The ₹11,000 buy-in tourney saw the top four finishers enter the ‘Millionaire’s Circle’ through cumulative winnings! Reigning supreme over everyone else was Young Gun Ujjwal Narwal! He chopped the DCS High Main Event title with Gopal Bajaj, taking home ₹22.18 Lakhs (1st & 112th). Narwal placed fourth in the Adda52 Millions for another ₹2.42 Lakhs and topped the Sunday charts with at least ₹24.87 Lakhs in total winnings.
Even though Gopal Bajaj missed out on taking down the Sunday headliner, he didn`t have reasons to complain, for he raked in a whopping ₹20.20 Lakhs (2nd & 41st) for his runner-up finish in the DCS High Main Event and made away with ₹21.93 Lakhs through five deep runs!
Goa-based reg Myron Pereira added ₹12.03 Lakhs from eight ITM runs, crossing ₹1 Crore in online profits, and most notably finished third in the DCS High Main Event for ₹11.04 Lakhs.

Armaan Kochhar shipped Spartan Poker’s second-biggest guaranteed Sunday flagship, DCS #60 High – Sunday Celebration, pocketing his best score of the year worth ₹7.91 Lakhs (won ₹8.96 Lakhs overall).

Navaneesha P nailed PokerBaazi’s BSS SuperStack for a site-best ₹6 Lakhs, ending a month-long title drought and collectively adding ₹6.15 Lakhs across his Sunday run.
Tanmay Benara joined the list of Sunday winners after taking down PokerBaazi’s BSS High Roller for a site-best ₹6.21 Lakhs, crossing ₹2 Crores in annual winnings (won ₹7.32 Lakhs overall).
Up-and-coming player Samay Singh Modi is having the time of his life, both on and off the felts! The aspiring actor recently emerged as PokerHigh’s The Player Hunt Season 2 champion and, a few days ago, added a DCS title to his tally! Modi has added another feature to his cap by shipping PokerDangal’s DDS Main Event for ₹3.80 Lakhs, raking in ₹4.83 Lakhs throughout his Sunday run. In fact, his leaderboard achievements and MTT runs are so comprehensive that we are still computing them!
Online phenom Vaibhav Sharma took down PokerStars India’s Sunday Highroller for the third time for ₹1.92 Lakhs (won ₹2.65 Lakhs overall), while Chirag Sodha collected ₹2.30 Lakhs in second place (won ₹2.68 Lakhs overall), courtesy of a heads-up deal.
