The India Online Poker Championship (IOPC) is more than halfway through and so far, we’ve had quite a few new winners being crowned, while older faces have also walked away with prestigious titles. Yesterday was the weekend for most but for poker players in India, there was big money up for grabs on IOPC Day 9. A total of 5 tournaments were scheduled through the day on Spartan Poker and you can get a complete summary of IOPC Day 9 here…

IOPC Event #48 INR 4 Lakh GTD

The first tournament was the smallest buy-in of the day, with INR 550 being the entry fee. A decent field of 876 entries and the prize pool was taken up to INR 4,38,000 which was then divided among the top 63 players with a min-cash of INR 1,905. At the end, it was ‘Immortal Killer’ against ‘FunkeyFox’ in heads-up and the former shoved with K♠ 8♦ only to get a call from FunkeyFox who showed T♣ A♣ and hit a pair of Aces on the board to win the title!

IOPC Event #49 Afternoon Hi-Fi INR 4 Lakh GTD

The second event of the night had a buy-in of INR 1,100 and once again, the guarantee was passed by a big way, with 495 entries joining and the prize pool of INR 4,95,000 being shared by the top 39 spots. It was a tough fight till the end where Samay Modi aka ‘Limitless’ ended up outlasting Vivek SIngh aka ‘KasolHieghts’ in heads-up. Way ahead in chips, Modi shoved with T♥ 9♦ in the final hand and Singh called with 8♥ A♣. Modi was fortunate to hit a Ten on the flop which gave him the pot and of course, an IOPC title on Spartan Poker.
