Daily Majors: Ganesh Kamath, Rahul Purohit, Deepankur Gupta & Sanat Mehrotra Turn Up the Heat on Friday With Red-Hot Victories

As Friday night melded into the early hours of Saturday, online poker players were still riding the high of their winnings. Meanwhile, in the desert oasis of Las Vegas, an Indian poker star was fighting it out on a predominantly US-dominated final table in the 2024 WSOP’s Event #16: $5K 8-Handed NLHE. Just hours ago, Kartik Ved, narrowly missing out on his second WSOP bracelet, secured a commendable fourth-place finish with a payday of $220,373 (~₹1.84 Crores). While that was a reason to celebrate, Friday night’s electrifying online poker action had even more to cheer about as it set the tone for a thrilling weekend ahead, which will witness the culmination of PokerBaazi`s ₹5 Crore GTD Baazi Millions!

PokerBaazi’s new top-heavy payouts and boosted guarantees, combined with Natural8 India’s World Festival 2024 and Adda52’s enhanced lineup, created a perfect storm of high-stakes excitement.
