With a cool swagger, Vijayvergia etched his name into poker legend, joining the exclusive ranks of virtuosos like Aditya Sushant and Harsh Bubna as only the third player to claim this iconic title twice! Recalling his first The MoneyMaker victory last August, Vijayvergia reprised his winning performance with aplomb.

Tuesday night’s online tables exploded with action as sporadic poker streamer NaveenKumar ‘happyhunter’ S (opted out of our tracking) ignited an unstoppable winning streak! Fresh off a recent victory in PPL #58 Friday Supernova, he blazed back to claim two more high-stakes titles, showcasing his prowess across multiple platforms. This breakout performance earned him an impressive ₹4.29 Lakhs (at least!) across four incredible deep runs.
His reign began on Adda52, where he triumphed in the prestigious ₹14 Lakhs GTD The Mint. Facing a determined field of 163 rivals (331 total entries), NaveenKumar endured a gruelling 7-hour marathon in this 8 PM Tuesday headliner, raking in a massive ₹2.63 Lakhs prize.
Not content with one victory, NaveenKumar surged into Junglee Poker’s ₹3 Lakhs GTD TW#6 Tuesday Turbo. Half an hour after his The Mint win, he was in the midst of another relentless battle. Over six intense hours, he outlasted 219 skilled rivals, ultimately seizing the 9:30 PM marquee title and adding another ₹1.14 Lakhs to his impressive haul, painting the Tuesday scorecard red with his dominant performance.

Accomplished regular Mohit ‘thejokerrrrr’ Mehta (opted out of our tracking), hot off his Monday (7-Max) Daily SPRINT victory, came agonizingly close to clinching The Mint title. For the second time in two weeks, he secured a second-place finish in this event, pocketing a hefty ₹1.92 Lakhs. His consistent deep runs across four PokerBaazi events added at least ₹2.47 Lakhs to his Tuesday haul.
