Poker titan Kunal ‘FloatToMyBoat’ Patni is setting the online felts on fire! Forget calling himself a ‘fish on a heater’ – this Natural8 India Executive Director is a full-blown poker force of nature. In just over a week, he’s demolished the competition with a mind-blowing four flagship tournament victories, leaving seasoned pros in awe.

Patni’s reign of terror began with a decisive victory in Spartan Poker’s Destiny. He then unleashed a double-gold blitzkrieg in PokerBaazi’s NPS India 2024, conquering both the NPS#43 (6-Max) SPRINT and the NPS#53 Megadive, adding to his impressive medal haul.

But the wins didn’t stop there! Last night, Patni stormed into Adda52’s ₹25 Lakhs GTD Godfather, outlasting a 536-entrant field (275 unique) in a gruelling 9-hour battle. His tactical prowess in this 8 PM headliner earned him a massive ₹3.90 Lakhs payday (after a 3-way deal) and his second Godfather title.

Patni’s relentless rampage resulted in seven incredible cashes, totalling an eye-popping ₹4.19 Lakhs. He even found time to advance to Day 2 in PokerBaazi’s NPS#92 HighRoller and Spartan Poker’s Millionaire VII.
