The second Sunday of 2024 matched the excitement of the first as high-stakes tournaments erupted across platforms. Flagship battles saw established champions crowned while rising stars blazed new trails, making it a night to remember.

Spartan Poker’s ₹1 Crore GTD Millionaire II was the night’s crown jewel. Aniket Waghmare, already an IOPC Mastermind, etched his name into history by claiming his third The Millionaire title, joining the elite circle of players like Young Gun`s Anuj Yadav and Gaurav Sood and Rishab Malik. Riding the momentum from Rishab Malik‘s Millionaire I win the week prior, Waghmare navigated two stacks and a heads-up deal, securing a monumental ₹15.73 Lakhs payday. His Sunday haul soared to ₹16.64 Lakhs, catapulting him into the “₹8 Crore Club” and the top #5 of the 2024 POY rankings.

Debneil Mukherjee, fresh off Friday’s The Elite victory, clinched second in Millionaire II, netting ₹12.60 Lakhs via the heads-up deal, pushing his day’s earnings to over ₹13 Lakhs.

Young Gun Anmol Mehta became the night’s ultimate champion, conquering two major tournaments! He first defended his PokerBaazi (1000X) BSS SuperStack title for a cool ₹7.30 Lakhs, then sizzled in Adda52 Millions with a ₹6.14 Lakhs win, totalling a staggering ₹13.44 Lakhs!

In the BSS SuperStack, Amit Saraff secured a respectable runner-up finish with earnings of ₹5.57 Lakhs.

Aditya Agarwal nearly snatched his first Adda52 Millions title, finishing second for ₹4.50 Lakhs. Adding another final table appearance in Millionaire II, his Sunday winnings swelled to ₹7.43 Lakhs, solidifying his #2 spot in the POY race.

PokerStars India’s Winter Series 6.0 concluded with fireworks. Prem Prakash reigned supreme in the Winter Series-52 Main Event with a record ₹8.59 Lakhs (₹4.60 Lakhs in bounties) prize, while Bharat Vasan shined, taking runner-up for ₹4.79 Lakhs and totalling ₹5.29 Lakhs across platforms.

The Winter Series 6.0 saw the legendary three-time POY champion Young Gun Gaurav Sood (Won Winter Series-53 – The Big Crunch for ₹1.92 Lakhs), Kripansh Khosla (Won Winter Series-55 Polar Express for ₹41,839), Manish Jangid (Won Winter Series-54 Winter Storm for ₹28,631), and ‘ola lambu’ (Won Winter Series-51 Deep Snow DST for ₹21,817) claiming the last few titles.

‘RedLineAlwaysGreen’ defended their title in Spartan Poker’s Sunday Superstack for a personal-best ₹6.51 Lakhs, their third on the platform in less than three months. Ashish Munot also had a strong performance, collecting ₹5.57 Lakhs from various deep runs and bounties, including a close second in the Sunday Superstack for ₹4.40 Lakhs.

Manish Lakhotia, currently topping the 2024 POY leaderboard, continued his hot streak by adding ₹5.03 Lakhs to his tally. He notably conquered PokerBaazi’s BSS Big Bounty for ₹3.78 Lakhs, nearing the elite ‘₹17 Crore Club.’ Last week`s top scorer, Aditya Singh, came in a close second, earning ₹2.92 Lakhs.

Vaibhav Dhomane triumphed in MPL Poker’s IPF #22 Sunday Showstopper, clinching the IPF Gold Dust Trophy and a significant ₹3.84 Lakhs prize, his largest win on the platform. The runner-up, ‘positivebeats, secured ₹2.49 Lakhs.

Kunal Patni, the Natural8 India Executive Director and brand ambassador, championed PokerBaazi’s BSS Super Value, ending his three-month title wait and a cool ₹2.48 Lakhs in earnings. With four other deep runs, Patni’s total winnings for the day swelled to ₹3.38 Lakhs.

Continuing his remarkable run, 2023 TLB (points) leaderboard topper Mohak Kapoor added yet another title to his collection, winning Pocket52’s Pocket Kings and taking home ₹55,719. Kapoor’s total earnings for the day reached ₹1.45 Lakhs, solidifying his lead in the 2024 TLB (points) race.

Last night, PokerStars India’s Winter Series 6.0 concluded in a dazzling clash of skill and fortune, crowning four final champions to cap off this epic ₹2.50 Crores guaranteed festival.

This wasn’t just any victory for Prakash. It was a monumental testament to his perseverance, marking his first Winter Series title and a career-high earning of ₹8.59 Lakhs! Even sweeter, nearly half of this sum (₹4.60 Lakhs) came from bounty eliminations, proving his prowess beyond just the final table.

What makes Prakash’s triumph even more inspiring is the journey that led him there. His entry into the Winter Series Main Event itself was free, secured through a ticket won using a special deposit code! This lucky break turned into a life-changing win, shattering a 17-month title drought that stretched back to PokerBaazi’s THC#28 Superstack victory in June 2022, helping him recoup all his past losses in one glorious scoop.

Prem Prakash’s online stats (PokerStars India and PokerBaazi): Lifetime Winnings: ₹27.95 Lakhs | Lifetime Profits: ₹6.43 Lakhs | Titles Won in 2024: #1

But this wasn’t the only action for Vasan – he raked in a whopping ₹5.29 Lakhs from six cash finishes across various platforms!

Riding the wave of his impressive Winter Series–37 – Colosseum runner-up finish on Thursday, Waghmare’s momentum surged over the weekend. He emerged victorious in Spartan Poker’s 1 Crore GTD Millionaire II, the second of three thrilling The Millionaire events this month.

Wielding two stacks with masterful strategy, he secured a lucrative 15.73 Lakhs payout thanks to a heads-up deal. This marked his seventh seven-figure score and stands as his best performance of 2024 so far.

With PokerBaazi’s 5 Crores GTD EndBoss Special Edition and Spartan Poker’s India Turbo Masters 4.0 chugging along at full speed, the tournament crowd has been hard at work, grinding the daily flagships. Tuesday was no exception, with an encore of the intense competition seen over recent days.

One of Tuesday’s major highlights was the return to prominence of Sreekanth Narayan, a month after his last significant win.

This marked his second victory in the event in three years and earned him the day’s highest prize of ₹5.16 Lakhs. Hot on his heels, ‘amrahs’ secured second place, taking home an impressive ₹3.08 Lakhs.

A newcomer to the winner’s circle, Spartan Poker user ‘Quetzalcoatl‘, celebrated their first significant victory in the ITM #22 Tuesday Big Turbo (6-Max), netting a personal best of ₹4.40 Lakhs. Following a heads-up deal, last week’s Ultron champion ‘Choubey ji‘ received an admirable second-place payout of ₹3.87 Lakhs.
