Daily Majors: Advait Rajguru, Ashutosh Balodhi, Aarchit Dhadwal & Neel Joshi Headline the Tuesday Flagships
After a fortnight of packed action, the remainder of this week will bring some much-needed downtime for the MTT regs, many of whom have taken the opportunity to fly down South to participate in the 2023 WPT Prime Cambodia.
The Tuesday action, although a significant improvement over Monday, was relatively lackluster. However, the micro-stakes players had exciting tournaments to participate in IndiaPlays’ Micro Poker League. And with PokerDangal’s Dangal Micro Value Series starting tomorrow, there will be more value for players at the micro-stakes level.
Advait Rajguru was hands down the Tuesday chartbuster with at least ₹5.35 Lakhs in total winnings from four known scores. Four days after shipping PokerStars India’s MM-28 [KO Low Roller], Rajguru made another victory run in Spartan Poker’s Tuesday High Roller (6-Max), banking ₹4.68 Lakhs – the day’s single-largest score and his fifth title this year. He also FT-ed PokerBaazi’s (7-Max) Daily Sprint (3rd for ₹45,604).
Dhruva Kalra (2nd for ₹3.16 Lakhs) and last night’s Mega Stack winner Ashutosh Balodhi (3rd for ₹2.06 Lakhs) round out the Tuesday HR podium.
After keeping his head down these last two weeks, Ashutosh Balodhi shifted gears yesterday by thrashing out podium finishes in the two primetime tournaments on Spartan Poker for a hefty ₹5.28 Lakhs. He won Spartan Poker’s Mega Stack (₹3.21 Lakhs) for the second time last night and finished third in the Tuesday High Roller (₹2.06 Lakhs).
Monday’s Night Rider winner, Arunav Mittal, placed runner-up in Mega Stack for ₹2.13 Lakhs (won ₹2.33 Lakhs overall).
PokerBaazi user ‘NAdi89Ya’ scored their first win on the site in nearly five weeks by taking down The Endeavour for a personal-best ₹4.10 Lakhs (won ₹4.21 Lakhs overall). Last month’s The Pride champion, Bharat Suda, scored ₹2.45 Lakhs in second place.
The former Iron Man champion Aarchit Dhadwal nailed Adda52’s The Mint for a site-best ₹3.71 Lakhs. Kashish Gupta finished runner-up for ₹2.24 Lakhs.
Young Gun Neel Joshi took down PokerStars India’s Bounty Builder HR for ₹2.06 Lakhs (won ₹2.24 Lakhs overall), ending a two-month title drought. Monday’s (7-Max) Daily SPRINT winner Anmolraj Singh Chawla came on the verge of scoring back-to-back title victories, pocketing ₹1.65 Lakhs in second place.
Young Gun Karan Radia, Karan Malhotra, Animesh Tripathi, Pranjal Raut, Naveen Sharma, Prithvi Singh, Clinton Tavares, Divyansh Chandra, Parth Shah, Ravinder Singh, and Md Aalam Ansari won the other marquee tournaments yesterday.
