Duo of Doddapaneni and 'iwillbluff' emerge victorious in Spartan Two of a Kind competition
Hot off the Press: Two of a Kind (2.0.K), a pulsating tournament, took place last night on Spartan Poker. April 8th was marked by this event, given it's the first Sunday of the month and part of Spartan's regular offerings. With a buy-in price of INR 5,500, a whopping 868 entries (comprising of 174 re-entries and 368 re-buys) showed up, creating quite a spectacle.
The tournament promises a cool INR 15 Lakhs for the top two players, making it an attractive proposition for poker enthusiasts. After nearly 9 hours of intense gameplay (starting at 6 pm and concluding at 3.18 am), we had a winner, none other than Sriharsha Doddapaneni aka 'GTOsucks' and 'iwillbluff'.
Doddapaneni further cemented his reputation by taking the top spot in yesterday's Destiny 8.0 SNG Finale, earning an INR 10 Lakhs Europe package. His recent performance in the EPT Sochi Main Event, where he finished at 26th place for approximately INR 8.4 Lakhs, pales in comparison to his 2.0.K victory. Doddapaneni boasts over $100k in live tournament winnings. His impressive record solidifies his standing as one of the leading players in India's poker scene.
The final three players were an intriguing mix. Doddapaneni found himself up against India's first WSOP bracelet winner Aditya Sushant and 'iwillbluff'. In the penultimate hand of the game, 'iwillbluff' wisely folded, a common strategy in end-game scenarios. Sushant went all-in with Fours before the flop, prompting Doddapaneni's call with Queen-ace. The board unfolded as Nine-two-Ten-Queen-Queen, giving Doddapaneni a full house and edging out Sushant's two pair.
The star-studded field featured several big names like Anish Patra aka 'Illusionist' (14th place for INR 42,592), Bunty Batra aka 'hitesh bhai' (22nd place for INR 26,620), Chandan Arora aka 'Dark fish' (23rd place for INR 26,620), Anirban Das aka 'pokernoob' (39th place for INR 18,634), Eka Vedantham aka 'gettingthere' (40th place for INR 18,634), one of Destiny 8.0 finalists, Nitin Arora aka '0HUMAN0' (41st place for INR 15,972), Goonjan Mall aka 'gmtesting' (54th place for INR 13,310), Siddharth Karia aka 'schemer77' (57th place for INR 13,310), and others.
