Daily Majors: Harshit Sanghi, Aayush Arya & Amit Gehani Start the Week Strong With Standout Monday Scores

The poker world never sleeps, and Monday was no exception. While the virtual action didn`t even come close to the bustling activity of Sunday‘s poker frenzy, all eyes were on Las Vegas, where Indian poker players continued to make a mark at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP).

Avneesh Munjal, an accomplished poker pro, stormed into the final day of Event #70: $400 COLOSSUS No-Limit Hold’em. With an above-average chip stack, he’s set to battle it out with 91 other contenders for the ultimate prize – a WSOP gold bracelet and a jaw-dropping half-a-million-dollar top prize.

Further bolstering India’s presence at the WSOP, three more Indians, Santhosh Suvarna (the freshly-minted Event #55: $250,000 Super High Roller champion), bracelet winner Abhinav Iyer and Aditya S, made Day 2 advances in Event #76: $10,000 Mystery Bounty No-Limit Hold’em (8-Handed), keeping India`s bracelet hopes alive.

Back on home turf, the virtual felt was on fire despite it being the first day of the week! As always, PokerBaazi and Natural8 India dished out the most electrifying action, hosting a tantalizing array of high-value tournaments and crowning the day`s biggest winners.

Harshit Sanghi reigned supreme on Monday night. The legendary first-ever IOPC The Crown champion shattered his month-long title drought with a dominating performance in PokerBaazi’s The Big Show, pocketing a massive ₹5.88 Lakhs. Varun Gaala, the DPT November 2022 ₹25K NLH Bounty champion, narrowly missed breaking his own five-month dry spell, finishing as a close runner-up in The Big Show for a respectable ₹3.68 Lakhs.

Meanwhile, Young Gun Aayush Arya ignited the poker scene with a fiery ₹5.16 Lakhs haul. Building on his recent success in Natural8 India’s GGMasters Asia 25, Arya exploded onto the scene with a spectacular ₹4.01 Lakh victory in Natural8 India’s Forty Stack 44. This WSOP online bracelet winner didn’t stop there, making waves with three more deep runs and emerging as the day’s second-highest scorer.

Amit Gehani, the banker-turned-poker maestro, is on an absolute tear. Fresh off a double-header Saturday, he added another victory to his resume by conquering PokerBaazi’s Daily HighRoller, earning ₹4.50 Lakhs. The competition was intense, with ‘borntrouble’ (anonymity requested) securing second place for ₹3.16 Lakhs, bringing their total winnings to ₹3.27 Lakhs.

Arun Kumar also made his mark in the Daily Last Chance, securing second place and ₹1.34 Lakhs – his best score of 2024!
