The two-day event locked in 818 entries through three starting flights. As the trend has been throughout the series, the Millionaire Legends, too, successfully crushed its guarantee, generating a colossal ₹2.04 Crores in the prize pool. Only 128 runners advanced to Day 2.

One of the most prolific players of the Indian poker circuit, Sriharsha ‘Potato Player’ Doddapaneni, had come close to clinching his career-first Millionaire just a few weeks ago in The Millionaire ₹1 Crore GTD. Following a heads-up deal, Doddapaneni lost the title to site regular ‘McFly’ and had to settle for a second-place finish worth ₹14.97 Lakhs. However, last night the stars finally aligned, and the 2019 WPT India ₹25K Big Bounty winner was able to claim the Millionaire Legends title for a jaw-dropping ₹38.75 Lakhs.
