The poker enthusiast members of the club wishing to participate had to register themselves on the Spartan Poker app and deposit ₹500 to enrol for the tournament. This would act as the buy-in to the tournament. After enrolling, the participants gathered at the registration desk at the venue, submitting their names and usernames.
All the participants get a starting stack of 1,500 chips and will start at Level 1, with blinds 10/20. Each level will play for 12 minutes as the tournament progresses. The participants will have the option to rebuy or re-enter the tournament till the end of Level 6. After Level 6, the players still in the field will head out for a break and will have a break after every five levels.

The field is down to the final five tables of five players each. The game continues to get intense as the players are now eyeing the top spot.
A player named Dhruv Khanna bubbled the event by busting at the 13th place. Although Vicky Talwar busted at the same time on another table, his higher stack made sure he cashed. Talwar took the 12th place for the min-cash of ₹1,000.
The final table of the Celebration Poker Carnival is all set. The final nine players will now battle it out for the top spot. Here are the chip counts:
The second-highest stack, Aneel Asrani has become the first casualty on the FT in a classic AK vs AQ battle. Asrani was all-in with AK against chip leader Kedar Pradhan’s AQ. The board fanned out to 83JQ6, giving Pradhan a Q-pair for the win. Asrani walks away with ₹1,000.
The lowest stack on the FT, Jimit Pandya has taken the 8th place cashing ₹1,000 for his finish.
Mohit Wadia and Dwimidh Agarwal have bowed out of the tournament at the 7th and 6th place, respectively. While Wadia took home ₹1,500 for his seventh-place finish, Agarwal enjoyed a pay jump to walk away with ₹2,500.
William Tocher and Prashant Gopalkrishnan have taken the 5th and 4th place for ₹3,500 and ₹5,000, respectively.
The last lady standing, Kashish Mangtani, has gracefully walked out at the third place after her Snowmen couldn’t survive against Sarthak Goyal’s T8 on the T445Q board. The lady in black bowed out gracefully at the third place for ₹7,500.
With Kashish Mangtani’s bustout, the heads-up is set between Kedar Pradhan and Sarthak Goyal. Both the players seem to be in their poker element as they put their best foot forward.
After a brief swingy heads-up, Sarthak Goyal has taken the runner-up spot after battling out hard at the event. Goyal managed to chip up a few times; however, he lost a major portion of his stack in the second last hand. In the last hand, he was left with just the blinds as was all-in. He had Q3, while Kedar Pradhan had 45. The board brought K5827, crowning Pradhan the champion.
The chip leader continued to dominate the table and walked away victorious with the title and the top prize of ₹15,000 to his account. He outlasted a field of 90 entries to emerge victorious and claim victory among his peers. Congratulations, Pradhan!
