In the PokerGuru feature, ‘This Week in Poker,’ we bring you the weekly roundup of the most significant online scores by Indian MTT players and the top stories from both the live and online poker circuit. Here are this week’s top stories!
View this post on Instagram
It’s that time of the year when we immerse ourselves in the joys of the nine-day-long festival! While the country is busy preparing for Navratri and Durga Puja, poker players were treated to some dhamakedaar action this week!
Team India has left no stone unturned, scouring through the South-Asian lefts off late. Having secured two Main Event titles in Vietnam in 2022 already, several top pros lined up in contention to bag the third one in the VN₫ 8 Billion GTD WPC-SEAPT Main Event! PokerGuru Ambassador Kartik Ved, fresh off a smashing run in the 2022 WSOP this summer, pulled out a nail-biting runner finish in the showstopper, netting VN₫ 2 Billion (~₹68.91 Lakhs), making him our “PokerGuru Star of the Week!”
Local player Ha Manh Tuong shipped the WPC-SEAPT Main Event for VN₫ 3.22 Billion.
Another Indian pro, Deepak Bothra, placed seventh in the Main Event for VN₫ 480 Million. While many other Indians scored in the series, Nishant Sharma was the only team member to win a title and down the High Roller Single Day for VN₫ 679.50 Million.
Speaking of Indians winning live titles, the inaugural Road to PSPC Manila saw Naveen Tiruvalluri (Won Warm-up event for ₹4.87 Lakhs), J Raju (Won High Roller for ₱860,000; ₹11.89 Lakhs) and Dhanesh Chainani (Won NLH Turbo Freezeout for ₱302,460; ₹4.18 Lakhs) clinching side event titles.
While Ved dominated the action on the live felts, the virtual felts saw his stablemate, PokerGuru Ambassador Vishal Bajaj, raking in the most moolah. The 26-year-old poker pro accumulated an impressive ₹28 Lakhs throughout the week, most prominently taking down Spartan Poker’s ITM #18 – Blizzard for ₹15.65 Lakhs.
Young Gun Sahil Chutani had a phenomenal Sunday run! He won two flagship tournaments, Adda52 Big Game (₹15.64 Lakhs) and PokerBaazi’s BSS SuperStack (₹5.80 Lakhs), rounding up a whopping ₹22.03 Lakhs across his weekly run.
Vishnu Khandelwal, Young Gun Arsh Grover, Loveleen Singh, and Kashish Singh Rathore were the week`s other top online winners.
Spartan Poker’s India Turbo Masters 2.0 is nearing its finale, but poker lovers still have much to look forward to, especially on PokerBaazi. India’s most trusted online poker site is turning eight next month, and PokerBaazi has begun celebrating this momentous occasion with two blockbuster announcements.
Cash game players are being treated to the biggest-ever Anniversary Cash Leaderboards (September 26 – October 25) with ₹7 Crores in prizes spread across all stakes. Tournament players have the brand-new G.O.A.T – the “Greatest of all Tournaments” to look forward to, which guarantees a never-seen-before ₹7 Crores in prize money.
Gamezy Poker, in association with PokerGuru, is giving cash game lovers a chance to win the brand-new iPhone 14. You must generate the maximum rake by playing on the Gamezy Poker app from September 22 to October 22. Only players who have signed up on the site using the PokerGuru Powerplay link are eligible for this promotion.
In a piece of news that sent ripples in the gaming circuit, the Tamil Nadu Cabinet, on September 26, approved an ordinance to ban online gaming in the state. Once the Tamil Nadu governor approves, the ordinance will be promulgated in the state, making all online games for stakes illegal.
In a shocking move, the Directorate General of GST Intelligence issued the biggest show cause notice in the history of indirect taxation on Bengaluru-based online gaming company, Gameskraft Technology Private Ltd. The company approached the Karnataka High Court, which granted them an interim stay on the order, setting October 11 as the date for the next hearing.
Shifting back to the international tournament updates, the 2022 Poker Go Tour Poker Master went underway at the PokerGO Studio inside the ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas on September 22. The series has already crowned six winners in Jeremy Ausmus (Won Event #1: $10K NLHE for $204,000), Ethan Yau (Won Event #2: $10K NLHE for $197,600), Ronald Keijzer (Won Event #3: $10K PLO for $202,500), Adam Hendrix (Won Event #4: $10K NLHE for $192,400), Nick Guagenti (Won Event #5: $10K 8-Game for $186,000) and Martin Zamani (Won Event #6: $10K NLHE for $223,100).
Josh Reichard overcame a 368-strong field in the WSOPC Horseshoe Council Bluffs Main Event, claiming his 13th World Series of Poker Circuit ring, a $120,445 top prize & a free entry to the 2023 WSOP Tournament of Champions.
Ken Baime took down the 2022 Mid Stakes Poker Tour U.S. Poker Championship Main Event at Sycuan Casino Resort for $82,512, and that too after missing his flight home.
The Asian Poker Tour Taichung Championships Event was a fitting prelude to the just-started APT Taiwan at the CPT Club in Taipei. Local boy Wang Hong Che bested the 427-player field, eventually striking a three-way deal to grab the trophy for NT$200,000, with Lin Ian (2nd for NT$250,000) and Chen Jung Chou (3rd for NT$228,700) netting better payouts.
