Prashanth ‘Iveyleague’ Sekar Emerges as the Champion in India’s Biggest Online Poker Tournament
The 2 Cr GTD event featured a staggering INR 60 lac payday for the winner
PokerBaazi, India’s leading and trusted online Poker platform, organised ‘Game Changer’ , India’s first INR 2 Cr GTD tournament last week. Poker players from all across the nation competed against each other across 4 days, each looking to etch their name in the history books. Among the 3777 entrants, it was eventually 29-year-old Prashanth ‘Iveyleague’ Sekar who won the event, becoming India’s first Game Changer Champion.
With a buy-in of INR 11,000, the tournament crushed the 2 Cr GTD in the first 2 days and the final prize pool amounted to a scintillating INR 3,77,70,000/-.
Bangalore-based Sekar was ecstatic about this win, and stated, “It is unbelievable that I won India’s biggest Poker tournament organized by PokerBaazi. When the Game Changer was announced, I was sure to participate and knew that it would be a dream come true to win this one. After winning it, no words can do justice to how I feel!”
The Founder and CEO of PokerBaazi, Mr. Navkiran Singh congratulated the winner and said, “I am proud to say that Prashanth Sekar (Iveyleague) helped PokerBaazi create history by winning Game Changer. I wish him luck for all his future tournaments. Game Changer has been a testament to the skill and ingenuity and has lived up to the vision of its creators in every way possible.”
PokerBaazi also organizes the 1 Cr tournament ‘MoneyMaker’, which is held once in every four months. It received an overwhelming response from players who embraced the concept and continually crushed the guaranteed prize pool by the staggering number of entries.
