There is no dearth of big guarantee tournaments at one of India’s leading online poker portals, Spartan Poker. The site has been known to always come out with the biggest MTTs, often with inclusive buy-ins. But its most popular tournament, hands down, is The Millionaire!
With Spartan Poker adopting a busy September schedule, first, with the Final Table Series 3.0, followed by the Ultimate Value Series (UVS), The Millionaire was put on a three-week-long hiatus. The mega tourney makes a grand comeback this week, with the ₹5,500 entry buy-in event guaranteeing ₹20 Lakhs to the eventual champion.
Starting on Thursday, September 30, The Millionaire is scheduled to run weekly with the same five starting flights as before. This highly-anticipated tournament will host starting flights at 7 PM on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Sunday will have the site running the last two flights, starting at 4 PM and 6 PM, respectively. All the Day 1 survivors convene at 10 PM the same day to play down to a champion.
Day/Time | Event | Buy-in |
---|---|---|
Thursday, 7 PM | Day 1A | ₹5,500 |
Friday, 7 PM | Day 1B | ₹5,500 |
Saturday, 7 PM | Day 1C | ₹5,500 |
Sunday, 4 PM | Day 1D | ₹5,500 |
Sunday, 6 PM | Day 1E | ₹5,500 |
Sunday, 10 PM | Day 2 | - |
The buy-in for The Millionaire may seem out-of-reach for the small-stakes players and the recreational lot. Not to worry, as Spartan Poker is running daily satellites to the weekend flagship with buy-in starting as little as ₹330!

The Millionaire: A Proud Legacy
The Millionaire is arguably the most prestigious weekly tournament in the country today. The event was launched in 2016, with Manoj Pentakota winning the very first Millionaire title.
In the last five years, several established and upcoming names of the domestic circuit have shipped the Millionaire title, with Young Guns Anujkumar Kodam, Gaurav Sood, and Arsh Grover, along with Manish Lakhotia, Phanindra Akkina, and Yudhishter Jaswal winning the honor twice.
The flagship tournament has since become a part of several marquee MTT stops on Spartan Poker like the IOPC, with the site even launching a dedicated Millionaire Series last year.
