Sunday Online Railbird Report: Alam, Bajaj, Singhvi, Kochhar & Kukreja Enter the Millionaire’s Club

What a phenomenal Sunday it was! Every single leading online poker site had some massive tourneys on offer, and we saw six players becoming Millionaires last night. And the one player who reigned supreme over everyone else was PokerGuru Ambassador Faiz Alam! Playing under the moniker ‘TheInternetKid’ on Adda52, Alam championed the biggest event on offer last night! With the Adda52 Online Poker Series (AOPS) coming to an end, the AOPS Main Event Finale ₹2 Crores GTD was the talk of poker town. Bringing an end to the proceedings was Alam, who bested Rahul ‘rahulpalawat’ Jain heads-up to secure the jaw-dropping ₹50 Lakhs payday. The runner-up locked in ₹26 Lakhs for his second-place finish.

Former Young Gun Kanishka ‘kanishka27’ Samant took down the AOPS Mega Suits ₹40 lakhs GTD for ₹9.53 Lakhs yesterday, while Pankaj ‘PankajGul’ Gulati came in second for ₹5.47 Lakhs. The tourney registered a packed field of 829 entries (426 unique and 403 re-entries), generating a prize pool worth ₹41.45 Lakhs.

The AOPS Big Slick ₹20 Lakhs GTD was another big draw last night, and the tourney brought together 909 hopefuls (535 unique and 374 re-entries), generating a prize pool worth ₹20.45 Lakhs.

Headlining last night’s action on the platform was the SSS The Millionaire X5 1 Million to Top 5 that had accrued 1,943 entries, resulting in a prize pool collection of ₹97.15 Lakhs. Out of the 235 runners who made it to Day 2, only 200 were slated to finish in the money.

The PokerBaazi Premier League (PPL) finally concluded on March 14 with Sandeep ‘Pokcey’ Singh taking down the PPL#58 The MoneyMaker ₹1 Crore GTD for a monstrous payout of ₹18.30 Lakhs. The PPL may have ended, but the PokerBaazi Monthly Series (PMVS) is just started picking up momentum.
