Veeravalli, Lyndem, Mahesh & Arora Clinch the 7-Figure Sunday Scores!

Wow! What a phenomenal Sunday it was! Every top online poker site had something attractive on offer. While Spartan Poker and PokerBaazi lured in the crowds with their ₹1 Crore GTD offerings, The Millionaire and The MoneyMaker, respectively, Adda52 replaced its signature Sunday tourney, the Full House Finale, with the Grand Mega Suits that played out its final day alongside the NANO series flagships. Where Adda52 had something new, PokerStars India returned with another edition of its Sunday staple Sunday Special and Sunday Highroller tournaments.

Last night was nothing short of a Bollywood ‘masala’ movie with the online sites offering massive guarantees, the marquees getting hit by overlays, and many big stars emerging as Sunday champions!

Without further ado, here is a recap of what went down yesterday!

Spartan Poker

Spartan Poker has made a habit of hosting a Millionaire tournament almost every week. The latest ₹1 Crore GTD The Millionaire commenced on Friday and locked in 2,132 entries by the time the late registration for its fourth and final flight ran out last night. Sporting a ₹5,500 entry buy-in, the tourney comfortably breached its guarantee, generating a prize pool worth ₹1.06 Crores!

After six hours of intense play on Day 2, PokerGuru Ambassador Naresh ‘FreeFlow’ Veeravalli decimated the competition to win his career-first Millionaire title for a mouth-watering ₹17.79 Lakhs! This also happens to be his biggest online score to date. A cash game specialist, Veeravalli, had ₹2.24 Crores in lifetime online earnings to his name before this win with his previous personal-best score of ₹10.30 Lakhs coming in Adda52’s AOPS ₹30 Lakhs GTD Godfather back in April.

Veeravalli outlasted Sagar ‘Strangeplay’ Choudhury (runner-up for ₹9.96 Lakhs), Young Gun Arsh ‘BigggTymeR’ Grover (4th for ₹5.30 Lakhs), Romit ‘tilt_83’ Advani (5th for ₹4 Lakhs), fellow teammate Gokul ‘Super Kings’ Raj (7th for ₹2.64 Lakhs), Yudhisthir Singh ‘Rowdy6’ Rathore (8th for ₹1.76 Lakhs) and Anant ‘Pro’ Purohit (9th for ₹1.46 Lakhs) on the final table.

Spartan Poker’s Sunday staple event, the ₹35 Lakhs GTD Sunday Superstack, was among the tournaments hit by the overlay express. A turnout of 651 entrants resulted in a shortfall of ₹2.45 Lakhs. Well-known poker pro and renowned poker coach Abhishek ‘MambaMentality’ Goindi championed the tourney for a cool ₹6.04 Lakhs. Abhishek ‘nbc345’ Rathod settled for a runner-up payout worth ₹4.99 Lakhs. This is Goindi’s second time winning the Sunday Superstack; he had previously won this event on September 27 for ₹6.92 Lakhs.

While Veervalli did Team PokerGuru proud by becoming the latest Millionaire champion, he wasn’t the only Team Ambassador making heads turn yesterday. PokerGuru Ambassador Gokul Raj, who had shipped the ₹30 Lakhs GTD Destiny on August 19, went on to take down the DESTINY 16.0 Finale SnG for an impressive ₹5 Lakhs. Adding his final table score from the Millionaire, Raj raked in ₹7.64 Lakhs yesterday. Young Gun Gaurav Sood (runner-up for ₹3 Lakhs) and Manish Lakhotia (3rd for ₹2 Lakhs) rounded out the top three in the Destiny Finale.

The other Sunday marquee, the ₹8.50 Lakhs GTD Money Heist, attracted 244 entries, falling ₹1.18 Lakhs short of its guarantee. Vishnu ‘violator’ Khandelwal won the event for ₹1.97 Lakhs while Sanish ‘Sanish21’ Chhabra finished runner-up for ₹1.33 Lakhs.

Adda52

Taking a break from the ₹1 Crore GTD Full House, Adda52 brought back the ₹60 Lakhs GTD Grand Mega Suits. The multi-flight tourney wrangled in 1,020 entries across four starting flights, eventually landing up with a massive ₹9 Lakhs deficit. Racing ahead of the field to claim the title was Chandan ‘darkfish15’ Arora, who bested Pankaj ‘Pok3rking’ Nanda (runner-up for ₹8.50 Lakhs) heads-up for a hefty ₹12 Lakhs payout!

It wasn’t an easy win for Arora, though, as he had to compete against the likes of Anuj ‘chocha’ Manocha (3rd for ₹6 Lakhs), Alok ‘apb1989’ Birewar (4th for ₹4.50 Lakhs), Rishab ‘rish1994’ Malik (6th for ₹2.21 Lakhs) and PokerGuru Ambassador Ashish ‘rocky3705’ Ahuja (7th for ₹1.25 Lakhs) on the final table.

Arora also final tabled PokerStars India’s Sunday Highroller (6th for ₹75,032), winning ₹12.75 Lakhs cumulatively. He is currently sitting on ₹2.41 Crores in recorded earnings.

Budding poker talent Armaan Kochhar has been in stellar form recently. Last week, he ranked #3 in the weekly leaderboards for his multiple final table scores. He couldn`t have asked for a better start to the week as he took down the ₹25 Lakhs GTD Adda52 Millions earlier in the day for ₹6.86 Lakhs.

The ₹11,000 entry buy-in tourney pulled in 239 participants, overlaying ₹1.10 Lakhs. Kochhar, playing under the moniker ‘tandavam,’ battled his way through accomplished regs like Young Gun Gaurav ‘gauravarod’ Sood (3rd for ₹3 Lakhs), Anurag ‘sangahi’ Sangahi (4th for ₹2.15 Lakhs), Ravindra ‘wormhole’ Arikeri (5th for ₹1.50 Lakhs) and Aman ‘amankej’ Kejriwal (7th for ₹81,250) on the final table. He ultimately squared off against seasoned pro Sahil ‘bluffme19’ Chutani, with the latter taking home the runner-up payday worth ₹4 Lakhs.

Kochhar also final tabled Nano Highroller (8th for ₹32,789, banking ₹7.19 Lakhs in cumulative earnings.

Adda52’s Nano Poker Series (NPS) culminated last night. While the series catered to mainly to low-stakes players, there were a few events that pulled in the top regs as well. The star attraction of the series, the ₹35 Lakhs GTD Nano ME Finale, registered 1,647 entries through six starting flights and the site still had to fill in a colossal overlay of ₹10.29 Lakhs. Aniket ‘anteman’ Waghmare conquered the event and padded his bankroll by ₹5.75 Lakhs, while ‘drpokerabc’ came in second for ₹4.15 Lakhs. Waghmare has accumulated ₹1.2 Crores in recorded MTT winnings.

The other headliner on the final day of the NPS series was the ₹17 Lakhs GTD Nano Highroller. The event gathered 767 entries and surpassed its advertised guarantee to post a ₹17.25 Lakhs prize pool. ‘Ak1011’ shipped the event for ₹3.36 Lakhs, following a heads-up chop with Laxmi ‘godfather7’ Narayan Meena (runner-up for ₹3.27 Lakhs).

PokerStars India

PokerStars India`s Sunday night headliner, the ₹18 Lakhs GTD Sunday Special Progressive KO, roped in 317 contenders, overlaying ₹2.15 Lakhs. The Game Changer 2.0 champion, Shagun ‘Sogani22’ Jain, came out on top and netted the ₹3.57 Lakhs. Jain was in contention for claiming back-to-back titles with a deep run in PokerBaazi’s BSS MegaStack as well. He fell one spot short, eventually finishing runner-up for ₹1.02 Lakhs, taking his overall winnings for the day to ₹4.59 Lakhs.

The Sunday Special also witnessed the #1 ranked player in the country for 23 consecutive weeks, Young Gun Gaurav ‘3betPanda’ Sood, reel in his third top finish of the night, finishing runner-up for ₹1.72 Lakhs. Adding up his phenomenal scores in the Adda52 Millions and the Destiny 16.0 Finale, Sood accrued ₹7.72 Lakhs in Sunday winnings.

Similar to the Sunday Special, the ₹15 Lakhs GTD Sunday Highroller also suffered an overlay of ₹1.5 Lakhs on the back of 135 entries. Vatsalya ‘Bhoot_Uncle’ Rao emerged victorious and pocketed the ₹3.12 Lakhs up-top. ‘BeerBoyss’ walked away with a second-place paycheque of ₹2.34 Lakhs.

The PokerStars India “Star of the Month” Leaderboard rounded out its second week with ‘muttonmm’ topping the rankings with 741 points. Leaderboard crusher Neeraj Kumar came in second with 624 points, and ‘jul1u592’ placed third with 584 points. The top 25 ranked players on the weekly leaderboards have qualified for the grand finale to be held in the first week of November. Check out the complete list here.

PokerBaazi

One of the two showstopper tourneys on Sunday, PokerBaazi’s ₹1 Crore GTD The MoneyMaker, returned for its 12th edition last night. Clocking in 1,027 entries, the ₹11,000 buy-in tourney posted a guarantee-smashing ₹1.02 Crores prize pool. Banmanlang ‘bml2012’ Lyndem obliterated the competition, which included defeating PokerGuru Ambassador Mithun ‘thepokeraja’ Mahesh (runner-up for ₹12.24 Lakhs) heads-up to win a handsome ₹17.46 Lakhs! The colossal win has given a sizable boost to Lyndem’s tally of cashes, which previously stood at ₹1.25 Crores.
