Prize pool guarantees continue to crumble at the World Poker Tour (WPT) Online India series that played out its fourth day on Adda52. Needless to say, the WPTOI dominated the Sunday action, with a packed 10 side events on the day`s schedule that included three WPT trophy events.
Without any further ado, here are the day’s highlights!
Several big guarantee tournaments graced the first Sunday of the WPT Online India series, where leading the charge was the ₹30 Lakhs GTD WPT Super Stack. Running from 8 PM to 4 AM, the tourney generated a jaw-dropping ₹35.90 Lakhs prize pool on the back of 718 entries. A relatively lesser-known player, Saahib ‘saahib’ Bawa, raced past the competition and outlasted Sarvesh ‘playhereforsure13’ Sharma (runner-up for ₹5.20 Lakhs) in the heads-up finale to clinch his career-first WPT Online title for ₹8.97 Lakhs. This happened to be Bawa’s second-best score on Adda52, while his best score continues to be the ₹9.18 Lakhs that he won for placing runner-up in the ₹40 Lakhs GTD AOPS Holdem Highroller on May 15. The Sunday night win boosted Bawa`s recorded earnings on Adda52 to ₹48.39 Lakhs.
Advait ‘ronaldinho018’ Rajguru finished third in the WPT Super Stack for ₹3.51 Lakhs. Rajguru is one player who has been in phenomenal form these last few weeks, adding numerous deep runs to his name recently. This includes a seventh-place finish in Spartan Poker’s ₹25 Lakhs GTD Destiny on November 4 for ₹72,500, third-place in the ₹5.5 Lakhs GTD The Flash on November 2 for ₹51,040, and a runner-up score worth ₹4.98 Lakhs in the ₹35 Lakhs GTD The Elite on October 30. He currently boasts of ₹87.85 Lakhs in lifetime online winnings.
The WPT Super Stack was not the only WPT Trophy tourney on Sunday. Two ₹20 Lakhs GTD tourneys played out on Adda52 last night, the WPT India Bounty Championship, and the WPT2500.
Sporting an entry buy-in of ₹6,500, the WPT India Bounty Championship recorded 340 entries, obliterating its prize pool guarantee. Rohan ‘rohan142’ Soman outlasted the competition to win the ₹7.71 Lakhs (includes bounties) first-place prize money, denying former Adda52 Team Pro Kunal ‘kunalpatni’ Patni (runner-up for ₹3.90 Lakhs) the WPT Online title.
The WPT 2500 registered 941 entries that generated ₹21.17 Lakhs in the prize pool. After 10 hours of intense play, Amit ‘tima1106’ More walked away with the title and the top prize of ₹5.15 Lakhs, even as Vashi ‘fiery’ Das finished runner-up for ₹2.80 Lakhs.
Even the ₹10 Lakhs GTD WPT Monster Turbo crushed its prize pool guarantee. ‘rohit010587’ raced past the 500-entry field to grab the lion’s share of the ₹11.37 Lakhs prize pool worth ₹2.65 Lakhs.
Himanshu ‘bagdwalhimanshu’ Bagdwal was another first-time WPT Online title winner on Sunday. He championed the ₹8 Lakhs GTD WPT Lazy Sunday for ₹1.20 Lakhs after striking a five-way deal with Abhiroop ‘Daniel90’ Gupta (runner-up for ₹1.09 Lakhs), Suresh ‘insanium’ Kolli (3rd for ₹97,675), ‘gauravgoru’ (4th for ₹78,484) and Navaneesha ‘np406’ P (5th for ₹77,949).
The ₹5 Lakhs GTD WPT Classic wrangled in 359 entries, experiencing a marginal shortfall of ₹9,965. Anonymous user ‘mukeshgahkot542’ took down the tourney for ₹1.25 Lakhs. Akshay ‘NoFuchsGiven’ Dhingra placed runner-up for ₹75,750.
