The leading online platforms of the country line up several tournaments, offering their loyal users a chance to excel the day and carry home enormous prize money. Yesterday was no different on leading sites like Spartan Poker, PokerBaazi, Adda52, and 9stacks. Tuesdays never fail to pull out the best players in the country. Here is sneak peek into the day…

Mega Stack

Spartan Poker hosts Mega Stack INR 17 Lakh GTD each Tuesday at 8 pm sharp. Owing to its growing popularity, this featured tournament attracts a huge field, always crushing the guaranteed amount.

It was Level #53 when the tournament finally came to a close, with the blinds running at 120,000/240,000 ante 20,000. Pereira had around 7 million in chips and was up against ‘JhingaLala’ who had around 6 million chips before the two decided to put an end to the event with almost similar stacks. With Pereira carrying the larger stack, he was awarded a higher prize and of course, the Mega Stack title.
