Tuesday Roundup: Ahuja, Taneja, Singh claim flagship events!

Tuesday flagships offered relatively bigger guarantees in comparison to a rather slow Monday. The action picked up across the major online platforms. Spartan Poker’s Mega Stack assured INR 20 Lakhs, Endeavour on PokerBaazi exhibited 15 Lakhs in prize money, and Adda52’s Hitman gave away INR 7.5 Lakhs GTD among the bigger events last night. So, let’s take a quick tour of Tuesday majors…

Racing ahead of the rest was a well-known figure in the industry Ashish Ahuja aka ‘Spewushhhiiiii’ claimed the winner’s title along with the prize money. Ahuja defeated ‘kracker’ in heads-up sending him to the runner-up position.
