The field was filled with online regs from the country, and the total size amounted to 320 entries (including 218 re-buys).

Ankit Jajodia aka ‘Themagician06’ shipped the tournament for a good INR 2,15,642 as the first-place cash prize. Jajodia beat  Chandan Arora ‘Dark fish’ in the heads-up battle to secure this title.

The star-studded FT on Spartan would’ve been a tough nut to crack for Jajodia but winning the tournament would’ve been equally satisfying. In the final hand, Jajodia already had a good chip lead. With Ac 6c, Jajodia jammed pre-flop Arora called with Kd Qc. The board revealed Qs 6s Jc Ah 2h and Jajodia easily took down the pot with Aces and Sixes over his opponent’s Queens.
