Tuesday’s online poker arena was electric! With high-stakes tournaments in PokerBaazi’s ₹50 Crores GTD National Poker Series India 2024 and Junglee Poker’s ₹6+ Crores GTD Dhina Dhin Dha series fueling the fire, the battle for medals and massive payouts was nothing short of epic.
The undisputed star of Tuesday night was Tarush Gupta. His reign in PokerBaazi`s NPS#69 Mini HighRoller was nothing short of legendary, earning him his first-ever NPS Gold Medal and a staggering ₹13.47 Lakhs top prize. This monumental win catapulted Gupta’s online earnings past the ₹2 Crore mark and skyrocketed his annual profits beyond ₹50 Lakhs. Four additional deep runs propelled Gupta’s total for the day to an eye-popping ₹13.78 Lakhs.
AOPS – Goa Edition Main Event runner-up Vaibhav Sharma was hot on Gupta’s heels!

NPS India 2024 Series Leaderboard Standings After Day 10
The race for the NPS India 2024 Series Leaderboard crown is a nail-biter! As Day 10 concludes, poker titans and rising stars are locked in a fierce battle for supremacy.
Rising Star Aman ‘KarmaPoker’ Parakh‘s reign continues! His epic double Gold Medal win last week propelled him to the top, and he’s been unstoppable ever since. With seven straight days at #1, a final table finish in NPS#31 (PLO-5), and a jaw-dropping 30 additional cashes, Parakh sits comfortably in the lead with 16,578 points. However, even a day off for a birthday celebration has seen him slip in the Podium Leaderboard standings from #2 to #3. This shows how cutthroat the NPS competition truly is!
Avneesh ‘iamam’ Munjal is back in familiar territory, holding the #2 spot on the Series Leaderboard for the second straight day. His relentless assault on every NPS event fueled his surge. With an impressive 67 cashes out of 71 tournaments, he’s not far from Parakh with 14,635 points.
Last year’s NPS Podium Leaderboard champion Vikram Mishra roared back into contention with a decisive Gold Medal win in NPS #33 Thursday Thunder. This victory, his first gold of the series, combined with final table appearances in three other events, solidifies his #3 spot on the Series Leaderboard with 13,815 points.

NPS India 2024 Podium Leaderboard Standings After Day 10
The NPS India 2024 Podium Leaderboard is ablaze with action and Young Gun Abhishek ‘addysonu’ Sonu has stormed to the top after Day 10. His relentless pursuit of Gold, including a victory in last night’s NPS#71 Relay, has propelled him past the competition. With three Gold Medals already under his belt (including back-to-back wins in NPS#32 #Slamdunk and NPS#44 #Slamdunk), Sonu is now the second player in the series to achieve this feat and commands the Podium Leaderboard with 32 points.
Former #1 Samay ‘SamaySinghModi’ Singh Modi is hot on his heels. His recent domination remains legendary, with three consecutive days at the top and a dazzling three-Gold Medal streak. However, he’s slipped to #2 but is still an undeniable NPS force to be reckoned with.
Meanwhile, NPS Series Leaderboard leader Rising Star Aman ‘KarmaPoker’ Parakh is a constant threat. Despite a well-deserved birthday break, he remains in the podium hunt at #3. His two Golds, one Silver, and eight career NPS medals make him a formidable contender.
‘saifjolly’ (Won ₹4 Lakhs GTD (7-Max) Midnight SPRINT for ₹62,130), ‘nash007’ (Won ₹1 Lakh GTD PLO-6 Daily for ₹31,540), ‘tomspoker’ (Won ₹1 Lakh GTD (6-Max) SPRINT for ₹22,010), and Sanchit ‘deuceseven27’ Nag (Won ₹1 Lakh GTD Midnight SPRINT for ₹20,300) won the other Tuesday marquees on PokerBaazi.
