Day 3 of the flagship Adda52 Online Poker Series (AOPS) served up as many as 6 tournaments. And what an incredible day of action it was! All tournaments concluding yesterday did reasonably well, drawing in impressive turnouts and crushing their respective guarantees. Some of the biggest names took to the virtual felts to seek fame and fortune. A handful of them managed to eventually win big, including Gagandeep Malik who won the biggest tournament of the day – 10 Lac GTD AOPS Candolim. Let us take you through the major highlights of what happened on the AOPS Day 3:
10 Lac GTD AOPS Candolim
Action has picked up the pace with the start of Adda52 Online Poker Series (AOPS) on May 7 and yesterday was no different. The biggest tourney to conclude last night was the 10 Lac GTD AOPS Candolim. As expected, it wrapped up with a grand success, drawing in a total of 303 entries and generating INR 12.12 Lac, which ultimately got distributed among the top 30 players. Banking the lion’s share was none other than the popular pro Gagandeep Malik aka ‘gaganhyd’ who defeated ‘zeigler’ (runner-up for INR 1.84 Lac) and walked away with the top prize of INR 3.10 Lac for his win.
A beast at the felts, Gagandeep holds an impressive online resume with plenty of big wins and FT finishes in marquee events on various Indian poker platforms. The talented pro has been in amazing form for majority of 2020. In March, he had won the 30 Lac GTD Mega Suits for INR 10.38 Lac, his best score on Adda52. Since then, he has been consistently scoring big and has already final-tabled several events like AOPS Hitman, AOPS Warm-up, Adda52 Millions, The Ballers, Holdem High, Big Slick, etc. Last night, he added one more score to his name by shipping the AOPS Candolim.
