Are you an Indiana Jones fan with a penchant for an out-of-the-world game experience? Does the idea of going on a treasure hunt, a mission where battles await you through different chapters, to explore and conquer uncharted territories sound intriguing? If you answered any of the above in the affirmative, you are going to love the 11th edition of the India Online Poker Championship (IOPC) coming up on Spartan Poker from July 11 to August 1.
Arguably the frontrunner in terms of dishing out the biggest guarantees and the best tournament offerings, Spartan Poker has established its flagship live tournament offering, the India Poker Championship (IPC), onto the virtual felts exceptionally well. The site has traditionally hosted the IOPC twice every year, in January and July. Over the years, we have seen the series become the cornerstone of tournament offerings in the country. The last IOPC edition ran from January 14 to 31, with 118 events dishing out ₹28 Crores in guaranteed prizes.
We would have expected the IOPC to come back bigger, and it has not disappointed. The upcoming IOPC – July 2021 will be making a longer 22-day-run with a schedule of 140 events awarding a never-before-seen ₹30 Crores in prize pool guarantees. That is ₹2 Crore more than the IOPC January edition, becoming not only the biggest IOPC edition to date but also the most massive guaranteed tournament series to be hosted in India ever! If that’s not enough, there are Leaderboard Prizes worth ₹1 Crore to compete for.
Speaking of the schedule, there are attractions apt to the treasure hunt, like the ₹1 Crore GTD Blaze of Glory (July 11), ₹35 Lakhs GTD IOPC Wanderer (July 12 – 18), and the ₹40 Lakhs GTD IOPC Value Mine (July 19 – August 1). There are also daily features like the 8 PM “Primetime” events and the 9.30 PM “Spotlight” events, with the ₹10 Lakhs GTD All Rounder taking up the 11 PM spot.
One of the star attractions on the IOPC schedule has been the Millionaire editions. The tourneys have returned for the IOPC – July, but with a distinct IOPC branding, shedding ‘The Millionaire’ tag. The IOPC D’ Lite (July 14 – 18) will be the first to run, offering a juicy ₹25 Lakhs guarantee for just a ₹550 entry buy-in and three starting flights. Next will be the ₹1.50 Crore GTD IOPC United (July 15 – 18), which also features three starting flights and a reduced ₹5,500 entry buy-in (down from last edition`s ₹7,700). Finally, the ₹1.75 Crores GTD IOPC – Legends (July 24 – 25) – again running three starting flights with an entry buy-in at ₹27,500.
For high roller enthusiasts, there are attractions like the ₹45 Lakhs GTD IOPC PLO High Roller (July 31) and the ₹1.40 Crores GTD IOC Super High Roller (July 29).
The most-awaited event at the IOPC July Edition as always, will be ₹3.50 Crores GTD IOPC – The CROWN Main Event. The showstopper event features eight starting flights starting on July 26, and the action will run through August 1. Claim the title and make a Diamond-studded Gold Crown your own!
Want to enter the IOPC edition for less?! Look for clues, i.e., codes and the schedule for the mega-satellites come as “the message in a bottle!” The site will be bringing out more details on the mega-satellites, deposit code offers soon.
Like we said earlier, the IOPC – July 2021 is all about a unique experience as you compete through massive guaranteed events. But if the awards on the platter are anything to go by, the series is not only about going on a hunt but can also fetch you riches beyond your wildest dreams!
Look at yourself as the explorer out on a treasure hunt. You have to navigate through the schedule or the treasure hunt map with a trail leading up to the treasure chest with a crown hidden inside. As The Battle begins, you go through individual Chapters or stages that highlight the key attractions of the series – 14 highlight tournaments, all leading up to the finale tournament.
Winners walk away with IOPC Badges along with the cash prizes. Ship a marquee tourney except for the IOPC – The Crown to win a Gold Badge. All side event winners except for the All Rounder will win Silver Badges! The site has announced that ₹50,000 will be removed from the All Rounder winner’s prize money and go towards the ticket into the ₹7.5 Lakhs GTD All Rounder Finale SnG that will be held on August 1 from 9 PM.
