Lakhotia Champions the Millionaire Warm-up; Pasricha, Sood, Mehta, Mishra & Dembla Crush the Other Sunday Flagships

FINALLY! Spartan Poker’s Millionaire tournaments returned last night with the ₹1 Crore GTD The Millionaire Warm-up, crowning a champion in online beast and former IOPC Millionaire United winner Manish Lakhotia! Besides locking is a career-best ₹17.03 Lakhs payday, Lakhotia is now just the fourth player, after Manoj Pentakota, Phanindra Akkina, and ‘Tokio999’ to become a two-time Millionaire champion.

While Lakhotia’s win certainly deserves praise, Young Gun Gaurav Sood and Harsh Dembla‘s efforts also need to be applauded as both pros won two titles each last night. Sood, the #1 ranked player of the year, took down the Adda52 Millions and PokerBaazi’s BSS SuperStack for a cumulative ₹11.52 Lakhs. In comparison, Dembla pocketed an overall ₹3.16 Lakhs for shipping Adda52’s Big Slick and PokerBaazi’s BSS Monster 6-Max.

The current FTS Main Event champion, Arjun Pasricha, and Young Gun Anmol Mehta also won flagship tourneys while making deep runs in theother Sunday featured tourneys. The former INCOOP HERCULES winner, Vikram Mishra, took down PokerStars India’s Sunday Special PKO.

If you thought yesterday was electrifying, wait till you hear this! Spartan Poker’s first-ever The Millionaire Series commences today! Boasting of ₹5.7 Crores in prize pool guarantees, this 20-event-long series offers buy-ins ranging from ₹110 to ₹27,500 and has ₹37 Lakhs GTD across three tourneys today.

Getting back to last night’s action, here are the highlights of the Sunday marquees!

Spartan Poker

After a week-long gap, the eight-figure guaranteed Millionaire franchise made a smashing return on Spartan Poker as a precursor to the inaugural The Millionaire Series!

The ₹1 Crore GTD The Millionaire Warm-up kicked off on November 4 and garnered 1,975 entries across five starting flights, registering a marginal ₹1.25 Lakhs overlay deficit. Only 277 entries made it through to Day 2, which included 207 unique runners. It took almost seven hours for seasoned MTT pro and the former IOPC Millionaire United champion, Manish ‘thekid’ Lakhotia, to make his way across the field and win the title. In doing so, he joined an elite list of two-time Millionaire winners, at the same time pocketing a personal-best ₹17.03 Lakhs in prize money!

Last week, Lakhotia had posted an incredible six final table finishes and was on the verge of a big win. He got his big break last night as he charged his way to the top of the Millionaire Warm-up final table that featured the 2020 India Poker Champion Rubin ‘icantwin’ Labroo (3rd for ₹6.59 Lakhs), former Millionaire United champion and first-ever FTS Main Event winner, Arjun ‘lol this guy’ Pasricha (4th for ₹4.77 Lakhs), Harshad ‘Laiibhari’ Barve (6th for ₹3.08 Lakhs), Vikaash ‘viks82’ Shah (7th for ₹2.35 Lakhs) and Srihari ‘bangbang99’ Bang (8th for ₹1.66 Lakhs).

Lakhotia ultimately outlasted site regular Ashraf ‘I raise you’ Ali in the heads-up battle to clinch his career-second Millionaire title. Runner-up Ali banked ₹9.46 Lakhs for his efforts. He added another ₹79,800 to his bankroll by finishing eighth in the Sunday SuperStack.

Speaking of the Sunday SuperStack, the ₹35 Lakhs GTD tourney posted a shortfall of ₹2.05 Lakhs on the back of 659 entries. Pasricha may have missed out on the Millionaire Warm-up title, but he made up for it by taking down the Sunday SuperStack for ₹6.77 Lakhs. Pasricha locked horns with Yasheel ‘YagammiLight7’ Doddanavar in the final showdown, with the latter settling for a second-place finish worth ₹4.27 Lakhs. Pasricha’s overall Sunday earnings touched ₹11.81 Lakhs.

The other Spartan Poker marquee, the ₹8.5 Lakhs GTD Money Heist, wrangled in a guarantee-smashing 285 entries. The first-ever Game Changer champion, Prashanth ‘Anya Chalotra’ Sekar, conquered the event for ₹1.89 Lakhs, just as Yash ‘gambler11′ Jaiswal placed runner-up for ₹1.27 Lakhs.

PokerStars India

Leading the charge on PokerStars India last night were two ₹15 Lakhs GTD events, namely the Sunday Special – Progressive KO and the Sunday Highroller.

The Sunday Special PKO had an eventful run with 320 participants ponying up the ₹5,500 entry buy-in, collecting a guarantee-smashing ₹16 Lakhs prize pool. A little over eight hours of play later, Vikram ‘GreenSTUFF79’ Mishra topped the field to take home ₹3.39 Lakhs in first-place prize money. Rohan ‘RSmincer’ Soman placed second for ₹1.41 Lakhs. Mishra has been on a bit of a dry spell lately after a blazing run in the INCOOP series in September. This win was a much-needed one for him and has boosted his MTT earnings to ₹94.29 Lakhs.

The second ₹15 Lakhs GTD tourney, the Sunday Highroller, could not generate the same interest as the Sunday Special. With a turnout of 129 entries, the ₹11,000 buy-in tourney ended up filling in an overlay of ₹2.10 Lakhs. The event took more than seven hours to conclude, and, in the end, mystery user ‘ferrari089′ championed the event for ₹3.27 Lakhs, while Young Gun Ujjwal ‘CougarHunter69’ Narwal came in second for ₹2.43 Lakhs. Narwal also final table PokerBaazi’s BSS SuperStack, placing eighth for ₹67,000.

Besides the Sunday Special, the other event that offered players TLB points for PokerStars India’s ‘Star of the Month’ – December leaderboard race was the ₹1 Lakh GTD Sunday Supersonic. The late-night tourney dragged in 95 entries, falling five entries or ₹5,000 short of the guarantee. The event was taken down by Ashit ‘Cringing’ Sharma for ₹23,748, with ‘sanjbat’ placing runner-up for ₹17,463.

Adda52

Adda52 hosted three big-ticket tournaments yesterday, and headlining the list was the ₹30 Lakhs GTD Mega Suits. Running from 7:30 PM to 4:53 AM, the event locked in 621 contenders and posted a massive ₹31.05 Lakhs prize pool. Young Gun Anmol ‘anzzzzz’ Mehta was in unstoppable form on Sunday night as he not only won this event for a handsome payday of ₹7.29 Lakhs but he also final tabled PokerStars India’s Sunday Highroller (4th for ₹1.33 Lakhs) and Sunday Special (6th for ₹64,936). His cumulative score for the night stood tall at ₹9.20 Lakhs, pushing his lifetime online earnings to ₹3.52 Crores. Neeraj ‘neeraj2828’ Bajaj finished runner-up for ₹4.25 Lakhs.

The ₹25 Lakhs GTD Adda52 Millions clocked in 245 entrants – falling ₹50,000 short of its listed guarantee. Following more than eight hours of intense play, Young Gun and the #1 ranked player this year for the past 30 weeks, Gaurav ‘gauravarod’ Sood emerged as the victor. He bested Akshay ‘Powershell’ Asawa (runner-up for ₹3.87 Lakhs) heads-up to claim a juicy ₹6.50 Lakhs. Proving exactly why he is the ‘numero uno’ player on the yearly leaderboard, Sood also shipped PokerBaazi’s BSS SuperStack, taking his overall Sunday winnings to ₹11.52 Lakhs.

The ₹12.5 Lakhs GTD Big Slick gathered 576 entries, generating a prize pool worth ₹12.95 Lakhs. Online reg Harsh ‘BuddhaBhikari’ Dembla shipped the event for ₹1.93 Lakhs, following a heads-up chop with Ashok ‘justmissed’ Kumar Kailash (runner-up for ₹1.91 Lakhs). Dembla also championed PokerBaazi’s BSS Monster 6-Max, banking ₹3.16 Lakhs from the two wins.

PokerBaazi

The headline tourney on PokerBaazi’s Sunday roster was the ₹25 Lakhs GTD BSS SuperStack. The Sunday flagship registered 442 entries, overlaying ₹2.90 Lakhs. Young Gun Gaurav ‘gaug17’ Sood was the last player standing in the tourney and won his second flagship title for the night for ₹5.02 Lakhs. ‘psilocybin7′ placed second for ₹3.52 Lakhs. With this win, Sood’s lifetime online winnings have touched ₹6.34 Crores, with ₹4.16 Crores in annual cashes. If he persists with his trailblazing form, he might just hit the ₹7 Crores-mark before the year ends.

The usual two ₹5 Lakhs GTD events played out on PokerBaazi yesterday, i.e., the BSS MegaStack and the BSS Monster 6-Max

The BSS MegaStack saw PokerGuru Ambassador Rony ‘bisadip176’ Chowdhury overcome a 184-entry field to win ₹1.24 Lakhs. Rohit ‘acesinyourfaces’ Setia finished runner-up for ₹87,150.

The BSS Monster 6-Max was won by Harsh ‘100crdream’ Dembla, who defeated Bharat ‘Thinkfloyd’ Vasan (runner-up for ₹86,343) heads-up to win ₹1.23 Lakhs. Dembla now has ₹1.75 Crores in recorded online earnings.
