Wednesday Roundup: Anant Purohit takes down Destiny on Spartan

Destiny 12.0

By now, every active player knows about Destiny hosting 10 tournaments in each edition. Last night was another edition of Destiny 12.0 INR 30 Lakhs GTD on Spartan Poker at 8pm sharp. With a buy-in of INR 5,500, it observed a good field and the top finishers being paid out. Yesterday saw another finale occupant, a leading player, Anant Purohit aka ‘Pro’ who powered through the massive field and grabbed the first-place prize money after sending Vikranth Varma aka ‘borntrouble’ to the runner-up position.

• Total Entries – 524
• Prize Pool – INR 26,20,000
• Places Paid – 50
• Min-Cash – INR 15,000

Down to the final two in level 46, the final hand got underway between Purohit holding 5h 8c and carrying 6 million chips up against Varma having Qd Ad and 912k chips. The former bet 80k on flop Kc Qh 7h and got a call from the latter. Turn 6 ignited little hope for Purohit betting 105k while Varma calls holding pair of Queens. And what were the odds! With 4c on the river Purohit bets another 684k and the table finds the entire stack of Varma in the middle. That’s when Purohit spins his 4-8 straight railing out his opponent’s single pair to bag the title.

Other notables finishing in the money include Mithun Mahesh aka ‘Intuitionnn’ (4th), Rohit Mishra aka ‘ShippingYard’ (7th), Gaurav Sood aka ‘mozzie17’ (9th), Ankur Sehgal aka ‘Crimemastergogo’ (15th), Kaushik Ghosh aka ‘kaushik53’ (19th), Laksh Pal Singh aka ‘LuckyBhai$’ (23rd), Kartik Ved aka ‘TheInternetKid’ (25th), Sahil Mahboobani aka ‘HomelessOnWiFi’ (26th), Ashish Ahuja aka ‘Spewushhhiiiii’ (27th), Arsh Grover aka ‘BigggTymeR’ (35th), Divyank Prasoon aka ‘mikkudiv’ (37th), Neel Joshi aka ‘Worm33’ (40th), Manish Lakhotia aka ‘thekid’ (41st), Ashish Munot aka ‘Donkey 07’ (42nd), Rajat Sharma aka ‘Garammasala’ (43rd) and so on.
