The former FTS Challenger winner Rohan Bhasin was the day’s biggest winner as not only did he take down Spartan Poker’s Trending Thursday for ₹4.16 Lakhs, but he also won Adda52’s Monster Turbo for ₹2.05 Lakhs, raking in ₹6.21 Lakhs overall.
Young Gun Sanat Mehrotra championed PokerBaazi’s The Summit for ₹4 Lakhs to storm into the top 10 annual leaderboard standings.

Spartan Poker
The fifth and final ₹1 Crore GTD The Millionaire of April kicked off yesterday. Running from 7 PM to 11:38 AM, the ₹5,500 buy-in tourney logged in 344 entries on its first starting flight, and 50 runners progressed to Day 2. Vivek ‘acchemicals’ Karwa (297,715) bagged the end-of-day chip lead. ‘magicmountain’ (246,745) and ‘haristo’ (221,673) picked up the next two big stacks.
Spartan Poker’s ₹18 Lakhs GTD Trending Thursday collected a hefty ₹21.46 Lakhs prize pool on the back of 613 entries. After a little over eight hours of play, the FTS Challenger champion Rohan ‘The Sightseer’ Bhasin took down the title and the top prize of ₹4.16 Lakhs. Vivekk ‘MI7’ Dube came in second for ₹2.63 Lakhs.
Bhasin had come close to shipping the Mega Stack – Millionaire Bubble on Tuesday but lost the heads-up battle to finish second for ₹2.36 Lakhs. He more than made up for it last night by taking down a second title in Adda52’s ₹5 Lakhs GTD Monster Turbo for ₹2.05 Lakhs, raking in ₹6.21 Lakhs in Thursday winnings.
The other marquee on offer, the ₹8 Lakhs GTD Monster Stack, saw PokerGuru Ambassador Arjanveer ‘bazzingaa’ Singh Chadha walking away with the title and a ₹2.14 Lakhs payday. The former AOPS Mini Main Event champion bested ‘MALLI0035’ (runner-up for ₹1.36 Lakhs) heads-up, pushing his lifetime tally closer to the ₹7 Crore-mark (₹6.90 Crores).
PokerStars India
The ₹10 Lakhs GTD Highroller headlined the Thursday night action on PokerStars India. The ₹7,700 entry buy-in tourney gathered 146 participants, crushing its advertised guarantee by ₹22,000. Seasoned pro Kunal ‘iAlwaysHaveit’ Patni clinched the title and the top prize of ₹2.01 Lakhs, following a heads-up deal with Nitin ‘Mickyn34’ Gupta (runner-up for ₹1.80 Lakhs). Patni had won Adda52’s La Luna on Wednesday and currently boasts of ₹4.54 Crores in lifetime winnings.
The poker streamer Shivam ‘cyflopse’ Jain shipped the ₹3 Lakhs GTD Battle Royale for ₹49,286 after striking a three-way deal with ‘kosmoz21’ (runner-up for ₹46,815) and ‘Clinton Tavares’ (3rd for ₹45,427).
PokerBaazi
PokerBaazi’s ₹15 Lakhs GTD The Summit registered 227 contenders, filling in ₹17.02 Lakhs in the prize pool. Young Gun Sanat ‘mehro2511’ Mehrotra fought his way to the top of a star-studded final table to bank a cool ₹4 Lakhs. The former Full House champion boosted his online scorecard to ₹4.27 Crores and made his way back into the top 10 of the annual leaderboard standings, overtaking Shardul Parthasarathi.
Young Gun Shardul ‘duuurrrr’ Parthasarathi seems to have made a habit of finishing runner-up in marquee tourneys. Three of his biggest online scores to date have all come through runner-up finishes – PokerBaazi’s Game Changer 3.0 (₹26.49 Lakhs), Spartan Poker’s IOPC#52 High Roller (₹17.44 Lakhs), and PokerBaazi’ APT Championship Event (₹8.53 Lakhs). Adding to his tally of runner-up finishes, Parthasarathi took home ₹2.81 Lakhs in second-place prize money. He also final tabled PokerStars India’s ₹10 Lakhs GTD Highroller (9th for ₹30,165), raking in ₹3.36 Lakhs cumulatively; however, it was not enough to fend off Sanat Mehrotra from taking his #10 position in the 2021 leaderboard rankings.
The other notables on The Summit final table included PokerGuru Ambassador Ashish ‘rocky3705’ Ahuja (3rd for ₹1.80 Lakhs), Manish ‘thekid’ Lakhotia (4th for ₹1.33 Lakhs), Rubin ‘kornkid’ Labroo (5th for ₹1 Lakh), and Young Gun Gaurav ‘gaug17’ Sood (7th for ₹66,738).

The Kolkata-based MTT reg took down the ₹1.5 Lakhs GTD 6-Max Holdem Boost for ₹53,178, while Shaan ‘kaamkaro’ Thadani (runner-up for ₹37,313) and Rising Star Aman ‘KarmaPoker’ Parakh (3rd for ₹24,001) rounded out the top three payouts. Sengupta now has ₹83.01 Lakhs in tracked online winnings.

Daily Majors: Armaan Kochhar, Vivek Karwa & Sagar Choudhury Crush the Monday MTTs
A predictably slow Monday was plagued with a majority of the flagships facing overlay woes. The dazzling performances of Armaan Kochhar, Vivek Karwa, and Sagar Choudhury brought in some excitement to what was otherwise a dull day on the virtual felts.
Here’s a recap of last night’s flagships.
Spartan Poker
The ₹10 Lakhs GTD ReCharge headlined the Monday marquees on Spartan Poker and pulled in 476 entries, overlaying ₹48,000. The mystery user Rajarshi ‘Raj@19911′ Biswas padded his bankroll by ₹1.70 Lakhs after a heads-up chop with ‘onlywinner007’ (runner-

Adda52
Kicking off the Monday action on Adda52 was the ₹10 Lakhs GTD Inception that suffered an overlay of ₹1.36 Lakhs on the back of 270 entrants. After nearly seven hours of play, Armaan ‘tandavam’ Kochhar came out on top and banked the ₹2.08 Lakhs top prize. Kochhar seems to be in unstoppable form lately. He was coming in fresh from a blockbuster Sunday, where he shipped the ₹25 Lakhs GTD Adda52 Millions for ₹6.86 Lakhs and final tabled the Nano Highroller (8th for ₹32,789), banking ₹7.19 Lakhs in cumulative earnings. His Monday night run has moved him up one place to #6 on the weekly leaderboard.
