It was a smashing Sunday on the virtual felts with Adda52 Online Poker Series (AOPS) dominating the headlines. The marquee series has enjoyed an eventful run for its entire duration with almost all its events drawing massive turnouts and crushing their respective guarantees. After the 11 action-packed days from 2n -12th April, the third edition of the flagship series concluded last night.
