Daily Majors: Ashish Nailwal, Nini Jerang, Karan Sitlani & Yash Chitre Lighten Up a “Dull Monday” With Standout Victories

Mondays, being the first day of the working week, are usually slow and boring, but sports have a way of injecting adrenaline into even the dullest of days. As Indian poker fans were coming down from the high of Santhosh Suvarna‘s epic win in the 2024 World Series of Poker Super High Roller, cricket fans were cheering on as Team India avenged its 2023 World Cup Final loss against Australia, with the latter getting knocked out of the Super 8s of the T20 World Cup.

Poker enthusiasts kicked off Monday railing India`s poker aces hunting for another bracelet with Ankit Ahuja, Navkiran Singh, Young Gun Sanat Mehrotra, and Young Gun Sanat Mehrotra charging into Day 3 of Event #54: $1,500 Millionaire Maker. Meanwhile, seven others like Yasheel Doddanavar, Abhinav Iyer, Kunal Patni, Young Gun Gaurav Sood, Sriharsha Doddapaneni, Aditya Agarwal, and Anshul Kulshrestha advanced to Day 2 in Event #60: $3,000 NLHE. The WSOP excitement is reaching a fever pitch!

Back on home turf, the virtual poker scene may not have been even close to Sunday‘s poker frenzy. Still, players kept the virtual felt warm with their passion for the game, proving that the action never dies, even on a “slow” day!

Ashish Nailwal, the former The MoneyMaker finalist, didn’t just have a good Monday—he owned it with a remarkable ₹5.81 Lakhs haul across three impressive runs. Hot off his Saturday triumph in the (7-Max) Daily SPRINT, Nailwal added another trophy to his collection by conquering PokerBaazi’s Daily Last Chance for ₹2 Lakhs. The poker star nearly clinched a double victory last night, narrowly missing the top spot in The Big Show earlier with a runner-up finish worth ₹3.54 Lakhs after a four-way deal.

Young Gun Abhishek Sonu, the #9 The MoneyMaker champion and NPS India 2024 Podium Leaderboard runner-up, made his mark with ₹1.44 Lakhs from two deep runs. Sonu’s most notable feat was a second-place finish in the Daily Last Chance, securing ₹1.40 Lakhs.

PokerBaazi’s The Big Show saw Nini Jerang storm back to the winner’s circle, claiming his first win of 2024 with a strategic four-way deal worth a career-high ₹3.88 Lakhs. While yesterday`s chartbuster Ashish Nailwal clinched a close second, Sujith Sachidanand made an impressive showing, netting ₹2.91 Lakhs for third place, with his total winnings reaching a handsome ₹2.95 Lakhs. Not to be outdone, ‘TheExplorer’ claimed a personal best ₹2.85 Lakhs in fourth place.

Karan Sitlani lived up to his reputation as a ‘High Roller Specialist’ by seizing victory in PokerBaazi’s Mini HighRoller (Double Ante) for the second time this month. This marks his seventh triumph in this very event this year alone – a feat that’s nothing short of legendary. With this win, Sitlani added ₹1.98 Lakhs to his ever-growing poker fortune. Arvindhan Lakshminarayanan secured second place and ₹1.87 Lakhs in a three-way deal. Even ‘Ikka5,’ a former NPS gold medalist and two-time The Summit champion, couldn’t deny Sitlani’s reign. ‘Ikka5’ narrowly missed winning this event for the second time this year, pocketing ₹1.87 Lakhs in third place.

Yash Chitre, fresh off his Friday Fighter win, proved unstoppable in Adda52’s Iron Man. A heads-up deal netted him ₹1.45 Lakhs and his second Iron Man title, boosting his total earnings to ₹1.49 Lakhs. Mohit Bohra, coming off a strong Sunday Head Hunter performance, put up a good fight, taking home ₹1.21 Lakhs from the deal.

Abhishek ‘drpokerabc’ Chinya, the recent Nano Siesta podium finisher and NPS#45 (5-Max) Hyper SPRINT gold medalist, was right in the thick of the action in the Knock Out Arena, pocketing a respectable ₹42,453 (₹4,500 in bounties) in second place.

The Knock Out Arena final table was packed with top Adda52 regs like last night’s Bounty Adda podium finisher Saheb ‘Cyborg007’ Bhowmick (3rd for ₹31,656), recent Bounty Madness podium finisher Shubham ‘f2013471’ Chaudhary (4th for ₹25,151), last night’s Nighttide DST Adda podium finisher, the annual TLB leaderboard kingpin Mohak ‘sparkie’ Kapoor (7th for ₹10,622), and Voyager champ Tanay ‘rujula16’ Kauntia (8th for ₹10,448)!

Even though the ₹1,725 buy-in Knock Out Arena fell ₹1.27 Lakhs short of its advertised guarantee, the top 17 players still walked away with a minimum cash prize of ₹7,849, making it a night to remember for many!
