Every Thursday, India’s largest poker site – adda52.com hosts several high-value tournaments to reward poker players in the country. One of the popular tournaments is Godfather at INR 5500 buy-in, which currently promises 20 Lac guaranteed prize pool and a Ticket to 7 Lac Aussie SNG.
Taking place yesterday was Godfather 5.0, which went to become a grand success attracting a strong field with 441 entries in total. Outlasting the field this time was Sanjay Kumar, who plays on adda52.com under his ‘sanjayguptalko’. The player had to battle it out with several tough pros to notch up the win. In heads-up, he faced Aditya Kumar Patodia aka ‘balls86’ who battled it hard but could not go all the way, eventually finishing runner-up in the tournament for a cool INR 36,3825.
The last hand of the tournament saw the eventual winner ‘sanjayguptalko’ holding Qh 6h and ‘balls86’ having Jh Js. The board ran out 8d Qc 10d 2s 7s where ‘sanjayguptalko’ made a pair of queens to beat pocket Jacks. It was by far the biggest score by ‘sanjayguptalko’ on adda52.com.
Sanjay Kumar beat a tough final table that included Kranthi Kiran aka DBlitz, Abhineet Jain aka pokemon13, and Sagar Choudhury aka alwaysnutz. Top 27 players were paid out with a min-cash of INR 13,230. Some notables who finished in the money in this event were arjan30 -10th for INR 27,563, IMUNAGI – 13th for INR 22,050, Peacelover – 20th for INR 13,230, and Brat_Poker – 25th for INR 13230. Unfortunately for Adda52 Team Pro – aggtarun, he ended as money bubble.
