Sundays are always the biggest day of the week for online poker players, and the most recent one lived up to that reputation! PokerBaazi`s Game Changer 4.0, Spartan Poker`s UVS Millionaire Lite, and PokerStars India`s INCOOP Main Event ensured that players were spoilt for choice. Here are the highlights.
Spartan Poker
Spartan Poker’s Ultimate Value Series closed out another smashing edition with the ₹35 Lakhs GTD UVS The Millionaire Lite bringing the curtains down last night. The multi-flight tourney gathered 1,742 entries across its three starting flights, falling ₹16,000 short on the listed guarantee. Racing to the top of the crowded field was the well-known reg Neeraj ‘SelfClaimedPros’ Kumar. He chopped the top prize with ‘Tokio999’ (runner-up for ₹4.82 Lakhs) before winning the bragging rights of becoming the latest Millionaire Lite champion and ₹4.99 Lakhs.
Kumar pulled off a “double” last night as he also championed the ₹10 Lakhs GTD INCOOP -192 The Big Crunch on PokerStars India for ₹1.45 Lakhs after a three-way deal (more details below)! The two title victories have sent his online record soaring to ₹3.99 Crores.
Spartan Poker`s Sunday mainstay ₹35 lakhs GTD Sunday SuperStack saw 698 hopefuls ponying up the ₹5,500 entry buy-in resulting in a marginal ₹10,000 overlay. The mystery user “BuddyLove” grabbed the title for ₹6.77 Lakhs with Chetan ‘pofunder’ Singh Chouhan finishing runner-up for ₹4.27 Lakhs. PokerGuru Ambassador Ankit ‘Shippament’ Wadhawan (3rd for ₹3.06 Lakhs), Guneet ‘guntz’ Kwatra (7th for ₹1.12 Lakhs), and PokerGuru Ambassador Nadeem ‘blindgame’ Basha (9th for ₹63,700) Ft-ed the tourney.
Championing the ₹10 Lakhs GTD Money Heist was the #3 ranked player of the year, Srihari ‘bangbang99’ Bang, who won ₹1.92 Lakhs following a heads-up deal with Pranav ‘pranavpoker’ Khandalkar (2nd for ₹1.78 Lakhs). Myron ‘mehhhhh’ Pereira (3rd for ₹1.02 Lakhs) was the other standout performer, and he also finished runner-up in PokerStars India’s ₹10 Lakhs GTD INCOOP–192 The Big Crunch for ₹1.27 Lakhs.
PokerBaazi
PokerBaazi’s Game Changer has acquired cult status over the years, and the ₹2 Crores GTD tourney returned for its fourth edition last week. 3,990 entries (2,617 unique and 1,373 re-entries) signed up across the four starting flights, and 479 made it to Day 2.
While the ₹5,500 buy-in tournament logged in a ₹50,000 shortfall before rake, 463 runners began the Day 2 play with some of the double stacks removed. After an eight-hour-long run, joining the elite club of past Game Changer champions like Shagun Jain and Siddhanth Kripalani was a relatively-lesser known player, Jaikiran ‘testify’ Kumar, who banked a ginormous ₹33.16 Lakhs for the win.
27-year-old Kumar is a resident of Bengaluru and a partner with Monish Engineering. He’s been playing poker for six years now, but this is his career-best score by some margin.
Kumar defeated Mohak ‘Tiltin’ Kapoor heads-up to etch his name as the new Game Changer champion. A runner-up finish fetched Kapoor ₹23.08 Lakhs, boosting his online record to ₹1.10 Crores.
Seasoned reg Raman ‘ifryu’ Gujral rounded out the podium finishers with a third-place finish for ₹16.14 lakhs. Gujral booked an FT finish in the ₹25 Lakhs GTD BSS SuperStack as well, adding ₹1.62 Lakhs to his bankroll.
Shiv ‘Darkside2dot0’ Verma (6th for ₹7.24 Lakhs), PokerGuru Ambassador Madhav ‘goacartel’ Gupta (8th for ₹4.42 Lakhs), and Pulkit ‘Ifoldfullhouses’ Goyal (9th for ₹3.26 Lakhs) were the other prominent players who FT-ed the Game Changer.
Madhav Gupta was among the handful of players who FT-ed multiple tournies yesterday. His other deep run was a fourth-place finish in the ₹25 Lakhs GTD Adda52 Millions ₹2.25 Lakhs.
Running alongside Day 2 of the Game Changer was the ₹25 Lakhs GTD BSS SuperStack, where a turnout of 489 entries translated into a ₹55,000 overlay. After over seven hours of play, the first-ever BPT Main Event champion Puneet ‘neo1’ Dua rode past a host of formidable rivals like Gaurav ‘kira1545’ Kaul (2nd for ₹3.41 Lakhs), Raman ‘ifryu’ Gujral (4th for ₹1.62 Lakhs), Ashit ‘nexus010’ Sharma (6th for ₹97,500) and Pranay ‘setmeup’ Chawla (7th for ₹81,250) to win the title for ₹4.86 Lakhs.
Pranay Chawla FT-ed PokerBaazi’s ₹10 Lakhs GTD Money Heist as well, finishing sixth for ₹51,400.
Aman ‘KarmaPoker’ Parakh (BSS MegaStack ₹8 Lakhs GTD for ₹1.77 Lakhs) and Mahesh ‘mahikalra’ Shyamsundar (BSS Monster ₹5 Lakhs GTD for ₹1.26 Lakhs) were the other tourney winners on PokerBaazi.
Parakh posted a fifth-place finish in Spartan Poker’s ₹10 Lakhs GTD Money Heist for ₹66,900.
Adda52
The Sunday run on Adda52 was headlined by the ₹30 Lakhs GTD Mega Suits. With 575 entries, the tourney overlaid ₹1.25 Lakhs. The final 63 players got paid with Harsh ‘BuddhaBhikari’ Dembla walking away with the top prize of ₹7.05 Lakhs. ‘justmissed’ finished runner-up for ₹4.11 Lakhs.
Dembla, who sits with over ₹1.35 Crores in recorded online winnings, has an exceptional winning record on Sundays. On September 6, he had won the ₹15 Lakhs GTD Pocket Aces on Pocket52 for ₹3.07 Lakhs, and FT-ed two other tourneys on PokerStars India for ₹6.85 Lakhs in total winnings.
The other known players on the eight-handed FT were Vinay ‘vinay0902’ Rajpal (4th for ₹2.10 Lakhs) and Bharat ‘rungooserun’ Vasan (6th for ₹1.05 Lakhs).
The overlay train hit the ₹25 Lakhs GTD Adda52 Millions the hardest. A below-par turnout of 200 entries caused a massive ₹5 Lakhs shortfall. Ankit ‘loser05’ Khattar helped themselves to the winner’s tag and the top prize of ₹6.95 Lakhs after defeating ‘royalty’ (runner-up for ₹4.06 Lakhs) heads-up. PokerGuru Ambassador Madhav ‘madzoopa’ Gupta (4th for ₹2.25 Lakhs) and Rajat ‘oshoswami’ Sharma (5th for ₹1.56 Lakhs) booked FT scores.
‘beherapunya2111’ (Big Slick ₹15 Lakhs GTD for ₹2.74 Lakhs) and ‘fiery’ (Hurricane ₹5 Lakhs GTD for ₹84,693) rounded out the other Sunday winners on Adda52.
PokerStars India
PokerStars India’s INCOOP has been unfolding massive value for tourney regs since September 3. The ₹9.05 Crore GTD series is close to the finish line now with the showstopper ₹1 Crore GTD INCOOP – 187 Main Event finally commencing its three-day run last night. Day 1 on Sunday saw 607 entries sign up for a shot at becoming the first-ever INCOOP Main Event champion, and the play was halted after 16 levels of play, by which time only 171 players were left standing.
All remaining players will be returning for Day 2 today, where starting in the chip lead will be Shashank ‘felterr’ Jain (220,055), with Siddharth ‘WaaaduHek’ Mundada (197,202) and ‘The Annihilator’ (173,617) coming back with the next top stacks.
Late registrations are open on Day 2, so we can expect the field dynamics to change.
In the ₹25 Lakhs GTD INCOOP-190 Sunday Highroller, ‘gangnam gangi’ rose atop a 172-player field to win ₹5 Lakhs after defeating the online phenom Vaibhav ‘GTO_Life_GG’ Sharma (runner-up for ₹3.78 Lakhs) heads-up.
The tournament fell ₹3.50 Lakhs short of its listed guarantee.
Sharma seems to have continued from where he left things off last week. He had topped last week`s leaderboard on the back of title victories in Spartan Poker’s GPS – Grand Sunday Superstack and Adda52’s The Mint. His online scorecard stands tall at ₹3.74 Crores.
Sahil ‘inaboobham’ Mahboobani 3rd for ₹2.86 Lakhs), Anant ‘Dr4gonW4rrior’ Purohit (4th for ₹2.16 Lakhs), Deepak ‘nachughodi’ Bothra (6th for ₹1.24 Lakhs), Young Gun Arsh ‘BiggggTymeR’ Grover (8th for ₹70,992) and Raghav ‘maddyrag’ Madan (9th for ₹53,700) FT-ed the INCOOP Sunday Highroller.
The UVS Millionaire Lite champion Neeraj ‘SelfClaimedPro’ Kumar (INCOOP -192 The Big Crunch ₹10 Lakhs GTD for ₹1.45 Lakhs) and ‘PepperChicken’ (INCOOP -186 Sunday Warm Up ₹5 Lakhs GTD for ₹80,932) took down the other Sunday marquees on PokerStars India.
Pocket52
The ₹15 Lakhs GTD Pocket Aces dominated the Sunday MTT schedule at Pocket52. A strong showing of 338 entries wasn’t enough for the tourney to meet its guarantee, resulting in a deficit of ₹1.48 Lakhs. Racing past the field was Shivam ‘Broosky’ Shukla, who helped himself to the winner’s payday of ₹3 Lakhs after defeating ‘John_wick1399’ (2nd for ₹2.25 Lakhs) heads-up.
Taking down the ₹5 Lakhs GTD Bracelet was ‘Allwaysbuffing,’ who outlasted the 419-strong field to win ₹97,500 in prize money and ₹50,000 worth of gold.
