India’s biggest ever online poker tournament, PokerBaazi’s EndBoss, saw a huge field of 5,🔥847 entrants 🐷push up the prize pool to a massive Rs. 5.85 crore (approx. $780,000).
It was Abhishek ‘Human_Al’ Maheshwari from Puna who made history on Sunday evening as the winner of Indian poker’s larg♚est-ever online poker prize, taking home a monster Rs. 1 crore (approx. $130,000).
Running from April 15-19, the online tournament promised to smash an earlier record from 2020 held by competitor Spartan Poker, who had hosted aꦰ Rs. 3 crore guaranteed tournamenཧt.
With m๊illions of Indians under lockdown because of coronavirus, online poker and gaming sites 🔯have seen an enormous pick-up in traffic whic꧑h surely helped PokerBaazi exceed the advertised Rs. 5 crore guarantee🦩.
In total, 585 places were paid in the 💝marathon event, which sets a new benchmark for rival operators to beat.
Before EndBoss began, Varun Ganjoo, Mar⛎keting Director of Baaz🅠i Games, the parent company of PokerBaazi, told that: “Innovation has always been in PokerBaazi’s blood and we have always come up with industry-defining tourname🃏nts. EndBoss will be no different.
“We are sure that the tournament will attract existing and new players with its prize pool, structure, and affordable buy-in. We are looking forward to crowning India’s biggest-ever w📖inner!”
The success of EndBoss comes just a month after PokerBaazi’s previous record Game Changer tourney, which awarded a total prize po🙈ol of Rs. 3.77 crore.
