On Wednesday, the ₹16,500 entry buy-in FTS#17 Big Game had brought in a player-field of 440 runners, filling in a massive ₹14 Lakhs in overlays. The eight-handed final table commenced at 5 PM yesterday and took about 100 minutes to play down to a champion. The IOPC – Legends champion Amit ‘Kavipri’ Suresh Gehani (3rd for ₹7.36 Lakhs), former IOPC – The Crown winner PokerGuru Ambassador Laksh ‘LuckyBhai$’ Pal Singh (4th for ₹6.01 Lakhs), Vinayak ‘haayegarmi’ Bajaj (5th for ₹4.74 Lakhs), Arunkumar ‘denoi’ Singh (6th for ₹3.62 Lakhs), Vishnu ‘violator’ Khandelwal (7th for ₹2.59 Lakhs), and Arun ‘vazharmorghulis’ Sriram (8th for ₹1.95 Lakhs) earned the other FT payouts.

The FTS Thursday marquee, the ₹60 Lakhs GTD FTS#20 Monster Stack, drew 563 entries, making away with a relatively reasonable ₹3.70 Lakhs in overlays. Like all the other FTS marquees at the series, the ₹11,000 entry buy-in event was paused as soon as the eight-handed final table got formed following Himanshu ‘shambolic794’ Arora‘s exit in ninth place for ₹1.09 Lakhs.

Vaibhav ‘Beautiful Mistakes’ Sharma (3,949,175) has been in fantastic form these past few weeks and is the frontrunner to win the FTS Gold Medallion in the FTS #20 Monster Stack as he bagged the overnight chip lead. However, it’s not going to be a cakewalk with seasoned regs like Aniket ‘Takingsouls’ Waghmare (3,602,775), Brijesh ‘Sanu15’ Pratap Rao (2,941,117), Prakash ‘Robin Van Charsi’ Gupta (2,096,254), Sooraj ‘GotNoChange31’ Todi (1,778,897), INCOOP – 31 The Classic champion Shagun ‘icansuckout’ Jain (1,297,425), Anurag ‘CultOfPersonality’ Srivastava (843,058), and Meherzad ‘goblue’ Munsaf (381,299) in contention.

The user ‘wolowizard’ placed runner-up for ₹3.42 Lakhs.

After last night’s win, Ankit Khattar has touched ₹65.05 Lakhs in recorded earnings on Spartan Poker with ₹20.09 Lakhs in site-profits.

The FTS #2 Friday Special finalist Ram ‘JohnnieRunner-Runner’ Kakkar was the last player standing and won the FTS Silver Medallion for ₹1.51 Lakhs. He shook hands on a four-way FT deal with ‘TheRealG’ (2nd for ₹1.29 Lakhs), Aurkodyuti ‘ad87’ Das (3rd for ₹1.21 Lakhs), and ‘Siryourchipsplease’ (4th for ₹1.19 Lakhs).

The FTS headliner on Thursday, the ₹60 Lakhs GTD FTS#20 Monster Stack, was starting just as the FTS #17 final table wound up. The event tallied 563 entries, resulting in an overlay shortfall of ₹3.70 Lakhs.

MTT beast Vaibhav ‘Beautiful Mistakes’ Sharma (3,949,175) is leading the charge on the FT.

The Godfather returned with a spruced up ₹30 Lakhs prize pool guarantee – up ₹5 Lakhs from last week. The move backfired for Adda52 given the heavy competition from FTS 3.0 and INCOOP as only 440 entrants signed up to play, resulting in a glaring ₹8 Lakhs overlay shortfall.
