April 18th, 2022: The excitement and vigor of India’s biggest and
most celebrated Poker Sports League, powered by FairPlay News is brewing as the
virtual leg of the Season 4 concluded on 13th April 2022. The season
is now all set to kick start its boot camp starting from 20th April
and to host the most awaited live finale at Deltin Royale from 21st April to 23rd April
2022. As this year’s league is in a
Phygital format, the finale will be streamed live for the first time on
Voot the video on-demand and OTT streaming service, owned by Viacom18. Deltin Royale and Adda 52 are announced
as the venue partners and online partners respectively for this season. A total

Rs two crore plus.
The season 4 kickstarted from
March 29th and went on till April 13th with
18 matches in total within
the 3 weeks. The matches were played in different categories like Qualifiers,
Women, Pros, Wildcard, Captains, Owners and 6 Multi Table tournaments. The
defending champions, Deccan Aces had a rocky and slow start to their season,
however they did finally catch their stride and ended up finishing at fourth
place. On the other hand, Kolkata Kings steadily maintained a first or second
position through the entire virtual phase and finished in first place, followed
by Gujarat Falcons in second place. The Mumbai Anchors played well and managed
to take third place. Delhi Czars finished fifth, followed by The Goan Nuts who
came in sixth.
Speaking about this year’s season, Mr. Pranav Bagai, CEO and Founder said, “This season has been a special one since the qualifiers in this tournament performed above and beyond our expectations. They played as well as the Pros if not better, gaining their teams a high amount of points. It was exhilarating to witness the spirit of gaming as the players got so much to learn and were thoroughly entertained. It felt like gaining education straight out of a poker school. Having said that, the captains performed extremely well as mentors and were nothing short of amazing. The workshops accelerated the comprehension of learning the game especially for weaker players which was well reflected in the game play. The bonding and team spirit was very evident from each player’s performances. I am extremely happy that we got to see how poker can be played and strategized as a team sport. Now as we aim to make this season more exciting, tech savvy, and accessible to millions of poker enthusiasts across the country, we are excited to host the grand finale of PSL –Season 4 at Deltin Royale, where the fans will get to appreciate the never-ending poker action.”
Recently the league announced
its partnership with video on-demand and OTT streaming service, owned by
Viacom18, VOOT as their official
streaming partner yet again for this season. Through this association, the

season, a special focus was given to upcoming qualifiers along with key pro-
