Daily Majors: Bhavit Jain, Sam Anand, Sanish Chabbra, & Neeraj Ailsinghani Make Waves on a Relatively Lukewarm Monday

With the entire nation eagerly awaiting the Lok Sabha election results, Monday’s online poker scene may have starkly contrasted with Sunday`s frenzy, but it was far from a bust. PokerBaazi’s tantalizing lineup of high-value tournaments and Natural8 India’s World Festival 2024 schedule ignited the digital felt, transforming it into a battleground for poker glory. With generous overlays across major tournaments, it was a veritable feast for players seeking to maximize their value.

Bhavit Jain boldly seized the Monday spotlight, staging a thrilling comeback in PokerBaazi’s Mini HighRoller (Double Ante). Shattering a five-month title drought, Jain’s audacious bluffs and brilliant bets propelled him to victory, netting him a cool ₹1.90 Lakhs after a four-way deal. Runner-up Vishal Kadyan secured a treasure chest of ₹1.76 Lakhs. ‘Allinmaster‘ and ‘Bonomo‘ also claimed their share of the spoils, pocketing ₹1.61 Lakhs and ₹1.59 Lakhs, respectively, from the deal.

Meanwhile, ‘vaguecartoon‘ finally etched their name in the 2024 winner’s circle, conquering PokerBaazi’s The Big Show for a personal best ₹1.50 Lakhs after a five-way deal. Ganesh Durgade amassed a runner-up prize of ₹1.48 Lakhs from the deal, tallying ₹1.95 Lakhs across two deep runs. The deal also rained down riches on ‘Bonafide‘ (3rd for ₹1.39 Lakhs), ‘sw1612‘ (4th for ₹1.18 Lakhs), and Akshay Joshi (5th for ₹1.13 Lakhs).

After two long years of grinding on PokerBaazi, ‘tapashdebnath’ finally tasted the sweet nectar of victory. They claimed his first-ever flagship title in the newly launched Last Chance, pocketing a well-deserved ₹1.53 Lakhs. Runner-up Neeraj Ailsinghani though edged out in the final stretch, bagged a respectable ₹1.16 Lakhs consolation prize.

Over at Adda52, Nicku Nitish dominated the Iron Man, proving his poker prowess by winning ₹1.53 Lakhs, adding to his total earnings of ₹1.59 Lakhs. The legendary EndBoss 4.0 and reigning The Summit champion, Sanish Chhabra, fell just short of the title, earning ₹1.13 Lakhs for his runner-up finish and boosting his total Monday winnings to ₹1.20 Lakhs.

Sam Anand, the Speed Racer extraordinaire on Natural8 India, continues to blaze a trail of poker dominance. A mere ten days after his dual deep runs in Speed Racer Bounty events, the speed demon conquered the Speed Racer Bounty Asia 88, overpowering a field of 95 players like a whirlwind, taking home ₹1.45 Lakhs. This marks his astonishing 15th title in this format, a staggering feat that has propelled his annual earnings on the platform to an eye-popping ₹66 Lakhs!

Spartan Poker’s Malamaal #11 Somvaar served as the stage for ‘pokergandu‘s’ grand entrance, as he stormed to victory in his very first tournament on the platform, seizing a cool ₹1.22 Lakhs. Prominent poker coach Mithun Mahesh, while narrowly missing out on breaking his 1.5-month title drought, still showcased his skills with a commendable runner-up finish, pocketing ₹97,500 and bumping his total Monday earnings to at least ₹1.10 Lakhs.

Junglee Poker’s Monday Monster PKO turned into a feeding frenzy, with ‘rohan865‘ emerging as the apex predator, devouring the competition and reeling in a juicy ₹92,476. Runner-up ‘eraserhead‘ gave chase but had to settle for ₹36,895.

The Monday madness on PokerBaazi continued with victories from ‘itsmegoku’ (Won The Big Show Lite for ₹89,000) and Mohit Mehta (Won 7:15 PM (7-Max) Daily SPRINT for ₹60,000).

Vishal Kumar, Nishant Chowdhry, Manish Jangid, and Naman Puri each secured a Monday victory, while Saksham Sharma doubled down with two titles, adding to the day’s excitement.
