It was a blockbuster Sunday that saw big-ticket tourneys like Spartan Poker’s Millionaire United, Adda52’s AOPS Main Event, and PokerBaazi’s PMVS Main Event SuperStack, all play down to the wire. Without further ado, let us tell you what went down on Sunday night.
Spartan Poker
Millionaire United is the most recent addition to Spartan Poker’s successful Millionaire franchise. The very first edition had played out on March 29, crowning Mahima Walia ‘mambojojo’ Das as the champion. Last night, the second running of this tourney drew 1,407 entries (682 unique, 297 re-entries and 428 re-buys) across two starting flights, slightly lower than the first edition`s 1,764 entries (833 unique, 368 re-entries and 563 re-buys), resulting in a shortfall of ₹1.51 Lakhs.
Site regular ‘lol this guy’ has been a consistent performer over the past few months. One of the most prominent finishes of this anonymous player came in the IOPC Millionaire Legends that took place on February 6, where they finished runner-up for ₹23.90 Lakhs. Yesterday, they won a hefty sum of ₹14.86 Lakhs for shipping the Millionaire United.
As we have come to expect at the Millionaire, the final table was replete with MTT stars. Experienced players like Dhaval ‘MandirYahinBanayenge’ Mudgal
The Sunday SuperStack ₹45 Lakhs GTD suffered an overlay of ₹85,000 through 883 entries (393 unique, 202 re-entries, and 288 re-buys). Here again, it was an anonymous player ‘Langer,’ whobested online reg Ayan ‘interlalia_1’ Ray (runner-up for ₹4.82 Lakhs) heads-up and walked away with ₹6.45 Lakhs up top.
Rounding out the other notable winners on Spartan Poker was ‘Combat,’ who took down the Big Daddy ₹10 Lakhs GTD for ₹1.54 Lakhs, following a three-way deal with Siddharth ‘champ-ak’ Pandey (runner-up for ₹1.44 Lakhs) and ‘intothepit33‘ (3rd for ₹1.12 Lakhs).
Adda52
The six-flight long AOPS Main Event ₹2 Crores GTD finally culminated in the wee hours on Monday morning. The event had garnered 1,937 entries in total, with the site having to fill in an overlay of ₹6.30 Lakhs. Despite being one of the biggest guarantee events offered by Adda52, the AOPS Main Event has a history of being marred in controversy. The first-ever AOPS Main Event had received a lot of backlash after an unscheduled fourth flight got added to the schedule at the last minute. Despite this, the site was unable to avert an overlay of ₹5.80 Lakhs. Last night was no different. With an ongoing controversy regarding extra rake charged on Run it Twice tables, Adda52 is smack-dab in the middle of yet another blunder that has kept many regs away from the site. This definitely hurt the turnouts, resulting in a sizeable overlay.
The tournament was eventually championed by ‘autobot93,’ who banked a mouth-watering ₹50 Lakhs in prize money. The title didn`t come easy as the unknown player had to contend against the likes of Sanket ‘cowboy12’ Jain (runner-up for ₹26 Lakhs), Pranav ‘pranavbang’ Bang (3rd for ₹15 Lakhs), Vikranth ‘borntrouble’ Varma (4th for ₹6 Lakhs), Anish ‘anishpatra’ Patra (7th for ₹4 Lakhs), Alok ‘elusiveflame’ Kumar (8th for ₹3 Lakhs) and Kaushik ‘cosh’ Tibrewal (9th for ₹2 Lakhs) on the final table.
Besides the AOPS Main Event, Adda52 also hosted the AOPS Vagator ₹40 Lakhs GTD that registered 776 entries (377 unique and 399 re-entries), resulting in an overlay of ₹1.20 Lakhs. ‘mit2015’ emerged victorious and pocketed ₹9.20 Lakhs. Aditya ‘adikumar2010’ Kumar came in second for ₹5.28 Lakhs.
Neeraj ‘kumartomar’ Kumar had a gala time on the virtual felts last night. Not only did he final table the Millionaire United, finishing seventh for ₹2.39 Lakhs, but he also took down the AOPS Colva ₹20 Lakhs GTD for ₹4.60 Lakhs. The event logged in 825 entries (470 unique and 355 re-entries) and had an overlay of ₹1.43 Lakhs. Well-known online player Ayush ‘lazyman’ Garg placed second for ₹2.64 Lakhs. In fact, Kumar, playing under the moniker ‘SelfClaimedPros’, finished runner-up in Spartan Poker’s Epic ₹2 Lakhs GTD as well for ₹34,738.
PokerBaazi
The PokerBaazi Monthly Value Series (PMVS) that had kicked off on May 13, concluded yesterday with its most awaited event, the PMVS Main Event SuperStack ₹50 Lakhs GTD, finding a winner in Guneet ‘guntz’ Kwatra. The champion triumphed over a field of 563 unique entries and 437 re-entries to grab the lion’s share of the ₹50 Lakhs prize pool worth ₹8.61 Lakhs. Ankit ‘akj290’ Jajodia finished runner-up for ₹6.03 Lakhs.

PokerStars India

The Sunday Highroller registered 220 entries (135 unique and 85 re-entries), falling ₹2.5 Lakhs short of the break-even mark. One of the most consistent MTT winners in the country today, Chirag ‘WhyworrY_56’ Sodha claimed the title and top prize of ₹5.40 Lakhs, following a heads-up deal with ‘Poppy369’ (runner-up for ₹4.80 Lakhs).

Sunday brought the final day of the ₹7.8 crores GTD Adda52 Online Poker Series (AOPS) tournament series, and the virtual tables at Adda52 were full of nail-biting action as the festival came to a close. The ₹11,000 buy-in Main Event drew in 1,937 hopefuls (Day 1A – 193, Day 1B – 237, Day 1C – 256, Day 1D – 323, Day 1E – 344, and Day 1F – 584) through six starting days, resulting in an overlay of ₹6.30 Lakhs for the site to bear.
After playing the first 29 levels, only 248 runners were able to bag Day 2 stacks. With nine players forwarding their best stacks, only 239 unique contenders went on to play Day 2.
