Daily Majors: Rubin Labroo Crushes the Tuesday Flagships, Wins Two Headline Tournaments & ₹5.58 Lakhs in Prize Money!
In line with the usual trend, the Tuesday MTTs clocked in better turnouts than Monday. But there`s a lot more to come as the week ahead promises to be laced with exciting online and live action with the country`s biggest online tournament, ENDBOSS, scheduled to start tonight. The third edition of the ₹5 Crores GTD ENDBOSS returns as part of PokerBaazi`s ongoing #BaaziBillion promotion at 8 PM tonight. There are five scheduled starting flights on the tap, followed by Day 2 on Sunday, where one lucky player will walk away with at least ₹1 Crore in prize money!
The vast majority of the MTT crowd has already arrived in Jhapa, Nepal, for the IPC Megastacks! The four-event series will host its first scheduled event, the ₹25K Kick-Off at Casino Vegas by Big Daddy in Hotel Mechhi from 5 PM onwards today. The PokerGuru coverage team will be posting daily reports of all the action from the venue!
Coming back to the Tuesday headlines, the 2020 India Poker Champion Rubin Labroo single-handedly crushed the primetime tournaments! The MTT pro won two featured events and cashed a third, altogether banking ₹5.58 Lakhs! Labroo`s terrific Tuesday run pushed him past ₹1 Crore in annual winnings. The former PPL Main Event champion won PokerBaazi’s The Endeavour (for the third time) for ₹2.73 Lakhs and Spartan Poker’s Mega Stack (for the second time) for ₹2.67 Lakhs.

We had reached out to Rubin Labroo a few days ago to confirm if he would be defending his IPC Main Event title at the soon-to-start IPC Megastacks. While we were disappointed to hear he won’t be making the trip to Nepal, we know now that this won`t keep him away from the spotlight.
As a precursor to what we hope will be a busy week for the MTT reg, the former PPL Main Event champion took down two headline tournaments yesterday. One of them was Spartan Poker`s ₹12.50 Lakhs GTD Mega Stack – which dropped the Millionaire Bubble branding this week. He topped a 444-entry field to win the Tuesday flagship for the second time for ₹2.67 Lakhs. Anirudh ‘flash’ Reddy finished runner-up for ₹1.78 Lakhs.
If that was not enough, the 2020 India Poker Champion also won PokerBaazi’s ₹12 Lakhs GTD The Endeavour – his third time doing so – for a better ₹2.73 Lakhs via a three-way deal. He posted another deep run in Adda52`s The Mint, netting ₹5.58 Lakhs across his trailblazing Tuesday run, crossing ₹1 Crore in annual winnings.
His Tuesday finishes include:
