First of all, let's remind some important concepts about Indian poker:
- 1 Indian rupee (₹, INR) worth about 0,014USD or 1USD equals 70,65INR.
- The prizes are usually noted in "Lakh or LAC (L) " or "Crore (Cr)". 1 Lakh equals 100,000 (one hundred thousand) and 1 Crore equals 10,000,000 (ten million), so a tournament series with 2 Cr guaranteed has 20,000,000INR or $283kUSD in prizes.
Spartan Poker Super Series
Starting from December 12th up to December 16th, 26 tournaments with 3+ Cr ($424kUSD) in guaranteed prizes and a 5 Lakhs ($7kUSD) known as the Spartan Super Series, it will be played at The Spartan Poker room, ending with a huge Main Event with 1Cr GTD ($141kUSD) and a buy-in of ₹5,500 ($80USD). The series schedule has Hold'em, Pot Limit Omaha and High Roller events.
The tournament leaderboard will award ₹250,000 (3,5kUSD) to the first place.
PokerBaazi Game Changer
PokerBaazi announced (without specific dates) the so-called "India's Biggest Poker Tournament" with 2 Crore GTD ($283kUSD), having at least 50 Lakhs ($70kUSD) for the winner. The PokerBaazi strategy with the tournament is to create an expectation campaign to call the players' attention, supporting it on "The MoneyMaker", a tournament held last year which was the first one in India having 1 Cr ($140kUSD) GTD. The PokerBaazi CEO commented about the tournament:
“We have added another gear to our drive of [metamorphosing] Indian Poker. This is yet another milestone, and for sure, a game changer!”
