Spartan Poker
Spartan Poker’s Daily Poker Marathon had two Tuesday marquees lined up on the schedule. The day`s headliner, the ₹20 Lakhs GTD Mega Stack – Millionaire Bubble, brought in a starting field of 662 entries – an almost 10% drop in attendance compared to the 725 entrants last week – overlaying ₹14,000. Young Gun Arsh ‘BigggTymeR’ Grover was the last player standing and won ₹3.48 Lakhs after striking a heads-up deal with the former The Millionaire and Mega Suits champion Hitesh ‘hitesh bhai’ Batra (runner-up for ₹2.85 Lakhs).
The #2 ranked player of 2020, Arsh Grover, bagged his third six-figure score in under a week. The Delhi-based MTT pro was one of the top Sunday winners on the back of his runner-up finish in The Millionaire for ₹9.59 Lakhs, and with 18.89 Lakhs in total winnings this past week, he has laddered up to the #8 spot on the annual leaderboard standings. Grover sits on the edge of the “₹8 Crore Club” with over ₹7.99 Crores in lifetime winnings.
The 8 PM event got in the books at 4:23 AM and paid out 55 places. PokerGuru Ambassador Ashish ‘Spewushhhiiiii’ Ahuja money-bubbled the event in 56th place to win a ‘The Millionaire’ Day 1A ticket.
The ₹7.50 Lakhs GTD The Race also witnessed a noticeable decline in numbers with 470 hopefuls (compared to the 515 entries last week) ponying up the ₹1,650 entry buy-in, resulting in an overlay shortfall of ₹45,000. Young Gun Gaurav ‘mozzie17’ Sood came out on top to add ₹1.40 Lakhs to his burgeoning bankroll after striking a heads-up deal with Ajit Singh ‘Thoda Bahot’ Arora (runner-up for ₹1.10 Lakhs).
The undisputed #1 ranked player of 2020, Gaurav Sood, is one of three players sitting on over ₹2 Crores in annual earnings. Last night`s win fetched Sood his 16th title victory of the year, further reinforcing his status as the frontrunner to become the first player on our tracked database to cross the ₹9 Crores milestone in online earnings.
Gaurav Sood`s stats: Lifetime Winnings: ₹8.76 Crores|Lifetime Profits: ₹4.49 Crores|Annual Winnings: ₹2.06 Crores

The mystery user ‘SSR@LUCKY’ placed runner-up for ₹12.07 Lakhs!
The former AOPS Main Event Finale and Two of a Kind champion, Vishal Tulsyan, prefers to maintain a low profile, but his online exploits have made it challenging for him to stay out of the spotlight.

The ₹2,750 entry buy-in event has filled in 608 seats, crushing its advertised ₹10 Lakhs prize pool guarantee by over 50%, with one flight still to go.
The biggest guaranteed event to award medals was the ₹8 Lakhs GTD NPS#18 Deepdive. The ₹1,650 entry buy-in event logged in 1,256 contenders, collecting over 2X the advertised guarantee! The whopping ₹18.84 Lakhs prize pool was shared among the top 144 places, and Rohan ‘likeaboss85’ Bhasin walked away with the lion`s share of the prize pool worth ₹3.17 Lakhs and the NPS gold medal. Kapil ‘kapsa92’ Kumar Vasita finished runner-up for ₹2.22 Lakhs.
Deepanjan ‘Bluffstar’ Das also bagged his first NPS Gold Medal in the ₹3 Lakhs GTD NPS#10 PLO DeepDive, netting ₹1.51 Lakhs.
