SVS Event #6 INR 35k GTD

The advertised guarantee was surpassed, generating a bigger prize pool of INR 37,300 which was distributed to the top 23 places securing a min-cash of INR 432. However, grabbing the biggest chunk of the same was Himanshu Dwivedi aka ‘Chanky’ who was announced the official winner after a 5-way deal. And the winner pushed away ‘Ambu’ in the runner-up position for INR 6,787 as the first-place prize money.

SVS Event #7 INR 40k GTD

INR 330 was the buy-in to the second tournament of the day and a field of 139 entries registered which was just enough to break the guarantee, creating a new prize pool of INR 41,700. The top 11 positions were paid out with a min-cash of INR 1,043 but ‘ManiacKid’ had his eyes on the prize and nothing less. He outlasted the field to earn the SVS title and the prize money after he beat ‘Yashi9696’ in heads-up, the latter winning INR 8,152.
