The festival of Lights – Diwali is right around the corner and while it is a Hindu festival, some aspects of it are universally celebrated. For instance those lovely Diwali mithais that one can gorge on during this time and of course game nights at various relatives’ or your friends house are a regular feature in this month of the year. In recent years with the influx and its popularity rapidly rising among the youth, poker is now also played during Diwali which has traditionally been about the game of teen patti (3 card Indian poker). And with bright lights of diyas and sparklers all around, The Spartan Poker has also got into the spirit of the season by offering what can only be called a Dhamaka of terrific tournaments and promotions in this festive month. With multiple crores on offer throughout this 5 week period, its time to brush up on those poker skills, shine at the virtual felts and make your Diwali brighter than ever!
Spartan has always been about constantly innovating its offerings which is the reason why you have game changing tournaments like the Millionaire which has swiftly become a favourite with poker players across India. Their latest innovation is called ‘Battlefield’ which mimics a live poker tournament’s entry process. The Battlefield is the first multi-day tournament introduced in the country which will be played over a 3 day period. There will be two starting flights (on Thursday and Friday) followed by the finale on Saturday where the winner will be crowned. This tournament features a buy-in of INR 1,100 and will offer a guaranteed prizepool of INR 5 lakhs.
The Battlefield tournament follows the re-entry format but the interesting part of that is you can potentially cash in twice in this tournament. Players who play on Day 1A and survive are also allowed to participate on Day 1B. Should they survive 1B, they will go into Day 2 with 2 different stacks under the same username till such time that stacks get merged into one whenever both stacks of the same player end up on the same table. Once merged however the player will continue playing the rest of tournament with just one combined stack. The best scenario for a player to cash twice is that they bust out just prior to the final table with one stack and go onto win the tournament with the other surviving stack.
Its comparison to a live tournament event will be quite interesting for many players and others will enjoy the novelty of being able to multi-table in the same tournament for potentially a double cash out.
