After a rather dull week, the virtual felts roared to life on Sunday with PokerBaazi’s Baazi Turbo Series and Spartan Poker’s XXX Poker Series commencing their eight-day runs. Adding the cherry on the cake was PokerStars India, which has extended its Boosted GTD Week!

Chirag Sodha and Rubin Labroo were caught in quite the battle last night. The 2020 India Poker Champion took down the day’s biggest guaranteed tourney, PokerBaazi’s ₹50 Lakhs GTD (6-Max) BSS Championship for ₹8.71 Lakhs, the day`s single-biggest score, following a three-way deal with Sodha (2nd for ₹6.36 Lakhs) and Gautam Kaul (3rd for ₹5,26,642)! He pocketed ₹9.03 Lakhs in Sunday earnings, breaching ₹2 Crores in annual winnings.

Chirag Sodha may have lost the BSS Championship title to Labroo. Still, the NPS 2.0 Main Event champion shipped the BSS HighRoller for ₹5.29 Lakhs, following a heads-up deal with Ashish Munot (2nd for ₹5.20 Lakhs), and topped the Sunday charts with ₹11.65 Lakhs in total winnings!

Young Gun Karan Radia has been in stellar form over the past few days, and it is no surprise that he emerged as one of Sunday`s standout winners. The elusive pro won Spartan Poker’s XXX #5 Sunday Xperience for ₹7.55 Lakhs after striking a heads-up deal with Young Gun Anujkumar Kodam (2nd for ₹6.77 Lakhs).

Mohammad Azhar raced his way to the top in Spartan Poker`s XXX #8 Supernova, winning the multi-flight flagship for ₹5.72 Lakhs and locking in ₹7.02 Lakhs overall from six deep runs!

Dhruva P Kalra (Won XXX #7 for ₹3.69 Lakhs), Sumit Dhall (Won XXX #1 LFG for ₹1.76 Lakhs), and Vijendra Sharma (Won XXX #9 Turbo for ₹1.06 Lakhs) won the other XXX Poker Series titles on the opening day of the inaugural series.

Up-and-coming online phenom Areyann Gurbaxani championed the Adda52 Millions DPT Edition for a career-best ₹5.96 Lakhs. He made away with ₹7.91 Lakhs through four deep runs, crossing ₹2 Crores in tracked online winnings!
