Daily Majors: Mohit Goyal Back in the Limelight, Crushes PokerBaazi’s The Endeavour For ₹7.50 Lakhs

There’s a powerful wave sweeping across the Indian online poker scene, and PokerBaazi is right at the heart of it. With the National Poker Champion finale just around the corner—scheduled to electrify Goa from April 13 to 17—the platform has become the place to be for India’s MTT enthusiasts. But that’s not where the excitement ends.

At the Experience Meet 2025 held just yesterday, PokerBaazi pulled back the curtain on a series of game-enhancing updates. From a sleek user interface to improved platform stability and upgraded security protocols, it’s clear they’re stepping things up. And that’s not all—they’ve rolled out an exclusive VIP club that promises premium perks for loyal players. Add to that their new TDS-free offer on the first three April withdrawals, and it’s obvious: PokerBaazi isn’t just riding the momentum, they’re creating it.

While online action is surging, live poker is making its presence felt once again—and Indian players are wasting no time lighting up the felt. The Vietnam Poker Tour (VPT) Championship 2025 is currently unfolding at the picturesque Corona Resort & Casino in Phu Quoc, running from April 5 to 13. In just the first three days, Team India has already delivered a series of standout performances. Deepak Bothra claimed top honors in Event #5: VN₫ 33M Single Day High Roller 8-Max, pocketing VN₫ 562.30 Million (~₹18.62 Lakhs) and adding a third live trophy to his growing collection. Not far behind, Natural8 India Executive Director & Ambassador Kunal Patni took charge of Event #15: VN₫ 44 Million Megastack HighRoller 8-Max, taking home a hefty VN₫ 850 Million (~₹28.36 Lakhs)—his third live title of 2025.

Mohit Goyal made a thunderous comeback on Tuesday, snapping a three-month dry spell with a commanding win in PokerBaazi’s The Endeavour for a jaw-dropping ₹7.50 Lakhs. It wasn’t just the biggest payout of the day—it was a clear statement. The win ranks as his second-largest cash of 2025 and third-highest overall, putting him back in the green and landing him squarely at the top of Tuesday’s earnings list. Trailing closely behind was former The MoneyMaker champion Ridhav Chawla, who came in second for ₹5 Lakhs. It’s his third-best score of the year and seventh career-wise, taking his Tuesday haul to nearly ₹5.04 Lakhs.

Over at Adda52, Prince Singh is hitting every stride with purpose. Fresh off a Friday win in The Ballers and a runner-up finish in the Inception on Monday, Singh added another feather to his cap by conquering The Mint for ₹2.68 Lakhs. Also making waves was Rishabh Gupta, who kept his own heater alive. After bagging a win in Saturday’s Blockbuster Lite and finishing third in The Big Show Lite on Monday, Gupta locked in a second-place finish in The Mint for ₹1.97 Lakhs. A small side score pushed his total Tuesday earnings to ₹2.04 Lakhs.

Ankit Thakur broke a long dry spell in style last night, storming back to the winner’s circle with a title run in PokerBaazi’s The Endeavour Lite. After nearly 18 months without a win, the NPS#99 (5-Max) Hyper Bronze Medalist finally crossed the finish line, banking a personal-best ₹2.64 Lakhs on the platform. But it wasn’t a smooth sail—Young Gun Abhishek Sonu kept the pressure high throughout in The Endeavour Lite. A familiar name in the winner’s column, Sonu came close to clinching another title but finished runner-up, taking home a commendable ₹1.73 Lakhs for his efforts.

PokerBaazi also saw ‘Daddu26’ (anonymity requested) walk away with ₹1.85 Lakhs after conquering Big PLO-5, while Abilash Bala‘s terrific form persisted as he bagged ₹1.82 Lakhs for taking down the Daily Last Chance.

Over on Junglee Poker, user ‘balloon53461634’ rose to the occasion in the BG#14 Tuesday Phoenix, collecting ₹1.63 Lakhs and the spotlight in one of the day’s standout performances.

Natural8 India regular ‘Bryant_24’ continued their impressive run this week. After taking down the Sunday Racer POWER HOUR 100, they jumped back into the spotlight with a strong third-place finish in the Speed Racer POWER HOUR 80. Navigating through a 218-entry field, ‘Bryant_24’ added another ₹1.32 Lakhs to their tally—proving that momentum is very much on their side.

Other standout performances on Natural8 India included:

• ‘Wonderwoman6’ took down the Daily Hyper 100 for ₹1.27 Lakhs, winning their 10th Daily Hyper this year and pushing their annual winnings on the platform to ₹47 Lakhs
• Pratik Jain made a striking first impression on Natural8 India, finishing 79th in the Mystery Bounty Mini Main 25 for ₹1.26 Lakhs—a strong debut that’s sure to grab attention

Tuesday also delivered a flurry of wins across marquee events, with standout performances from Akshay Choudhary, Siddhant Khanna, Raghav Siddalinga, Ryan Cardoso, Vishal Soni, Sahil Verma, and Sahil Aggarwal.

Here are the Tuesday highlights!

PokerBaazi

The Endeavour – ₹50 Lakhs GTD

Entries – 524

PokerBaazi isn’t just a platform; it’s rapidly becoming the pulsing heart of India’s online MTT scene. You can practically feel the energy building for the National Poker Champion showdown heading to Goa from April 13 to 17. But PokerBaazi isn’t one to rest – just yesterday, at their Experience Meet 2025, they dropped news of slick new features, beefed-up platform stability and security, and a brand-new VIP club. Add their almost unbelievable TDS-free offer on the first three April withdrawals, and you’ve got the perfect storm for some serious poker fireworks!

This relentless drive by the industry leader is clearly paying off. Cash game tables are buzzing, and the big-ticket tournaments are consistently blowing past their advertised prize pools. Tuesdays always bring the heat with the ₹50 Lakhs GTD The Endeavour taking centre stage. While other major tourneys comfortably exceeded their guarantees, The Endeavour missed its ambitious target this time (though it still pulled bigger numbers than last week). Missed guarantee or not, the action was pure dynamite, delivering the biggest scores of the day.

Kicking off just as the clock struck 8 PM, the Tuesday headliner drew a crowd of 524 players, ballooning to 947 entries with re-entries – a mix of hopefuls and seasoned pros ready for battle. What followed was a marathon, a gruelling nine hours and sixteen minutes of high-stakes poker warfare. When the dust finally settled, Mohit ‘mo3bet’ Goyal stood tall, taking down the event for a massive ₹7.50 Lakhs payday and claiming the top earner spot for the day.

Goyal, no stranger to the tournament grind with 68 events played this year and 18 previous cashes, started 2025 strong. He took down the BSS SuperStack in January, landed on the podium in The Endeavour just a week later, and followed that with a second-place finish in the (PLO-6) Daily two days after. He even got painfully close to his first NPS medal, finishing fourth in the NPS#94 (PLO-6) HighRoller!

Last night’s victory ended a title drought stretching over three months for Goyal. Not only did he finally grab his maiden The Endeavour title, but the ₹7.50 Lakhs windfall also became his second-largest score of 2025 and third-highest overall, a payout that catapulted him back into the profit zone – a much-needed and celebrated breakthrough.

Mohit Goyal’s online stats (excluding Natural8 India, Junglee Poker and Pocket52): Lifetime Winnings: ₹1.60 Crores | Lifetime Profits: ₹1.88 Lakhs | Titles Won in 2025: #2

Another player currently radiating heat is Ridhav ‘Rids’ Chawla. This Delhi-based poker pro, a former The MoneyMaker champion, is still riding the high of his exceptional NPS India 2025 campaign, where he snagged Gold Medals in the NPS#114 Mini HighRoller and the NPS#174 (5-Max) Hyper SPRINT. Instead of hitting the brakes post-NPS, Chawla kept the pedal down, making final tables in PokerBaazi’s Summit Lite last month and Adda52’s Sunday Head Hunter just this past weekend. His consistent deep runs keep him perpetually near the top of the standings.

He came incredibly close to adding another major title last night. Chawla mounted a formidable challenge in The Endeavour, ultimately finishing in second place, translating to a ₹5 Lakhs prize – his third-best score this year and seventh-largest overall. A small cash in Adda52’s new Tuesday Takedown (28th for ₹3,975) nudged his total Tuesday earnings to just shy of ₹5.04 Lakhs.

Ridhav Chawla’s online stats (excluding Natural8 India, Junglee Poker and Pocket52): Lifetime Winnings: ₹2.16 Crores | Lifetime Profits: ₹69.25 Lakhs | Titles Won in 2025: #2

Also making waves was the multi-talented Siddhanth ‘Bullzeye’ Kapoor, who managed a double-feature of final table appearances on PokerBaazi. His efforts across both events saw him rake in close to ₹2.58 Lakhs for the night. Most impressively, he spun a ₹575 satellite ticket for The Endeavour into a sixth-place finish worth a handsome ₹1.74 Lakhs. He also navigated his way to the late stages of the Big PLO-5, adding another nice score and clawing back some previous losses.

As always, The Endeavour final table was a competitive affair, featuring familiar grinders and ambitious players. Atul ’ChampioNNN’ Nagpal claimed the third spot for ₹3.69 Lakhs (his second-best online result). Poker veteran Sumit ‘boronyx’ Sapra, the NPS India 2025 Punjab State Leaderboard topper and last week’s WTF finalist, finished fourth, collecting ₹2.86 Lakhs. Behind him was Anmol ‘airball’ Narang, fresh off a runner-up finish in last week’s Mystery Bounty, who placed fifth for ₹2.30 Lakhs. Ashwath ‘ashcashsmash’ Harikumar, another player who satellited in for just ₹575, rode his ticket to a seventh-place finish worth ₹1.30 Lakhs. Saravanan ‘d2gamepoker’ Palanichamy, winner of last month’s Daily Last Chance, completed the final table lineup in eighth, earning ₹94,000.

While Tuesday was another scorching day of action on PokerBaazi, The Endeavour was a rare outlier where the massive ₹50 Lakhs guarantee was narrowly missed by ₹2.65 Lakhs – still a commendable feat for a Tuesday night. This extra value trickled down to the top 146 finishers, each taking home at least ₹9,500 – nearly 1.7 times their initial ₹5,750 investment! The poker action on India’s leading online platform is undeniably sizzling, and with this kind of momentum, April is shaping up to be a month overflowing with value and massive rewards for the players.

Final Table Results

1. Mohit ‘mo3bet’ Goyal – ₹7,50,000
2. Ridhav ‘Rids’ Chawla – ₹5,00,000

PokerBaazi is ablaze this April, with its bold decision to bear TDS on players’ first three cashouts setting the virtual felts on fire. The ripple effect has been massive — guarantees are being crushed left and right, and the platform is teeming with energy as the fields swell across all stakes. Tuesday night was no different, with a fresh wave of flagship madness sweeping through the site with just one flagship failing to crush its guarantee.

Rising from the pack with a long-awaited breakthrough was Ankit ‘NOTILTING’ Thakur, a name well-known to Indian poker fans. The Mumbai-based grinder and a two-time Gold Medallist from NPS India 2022, finally snapped a one-and-a-half-year title drought, clinching the ₹15 Lakhs GTD The EndeavourLite in vintage fashion.

Thakur had last tasted victory in October 2023, winning PokerBaazi’s BVS#37, but had since been on a quiet grind. In 2025, he’s remained active, most notably finishing fourth in the (6-Max) BSS SPRINT back in February. During the recently concluded NPS India 2025, he put in a solid shift, playing 93 events, cashing in 32, and making a deep run in NPS#161 (6-Max) Big SPRINT (12th). A Bronze medal finish in NPS#99 (5-Max) Hyper added some shine, but the elusive title continued to evade him — until now.

On Tuesday night, everything clicked. In the 7:30 PM Endeavour Lite, which logged a huge 691-entry field (377 unique), Thakur locked in, kept composure through the chaos, and outlasted the competition after six hours and 35 minutes of intense play. The win wasn’t just symbolic — it was also his career-best payday on PokerBaazi, as he walked away with a well-earned ₹2.64 Lakhs.

Ankit Thakur’s online stats (PokerBaazi and Spartan Poker): Lifetime Winnings: ₹80.87 Lakhs | Lifetime Profits: ₹17.23 Lakhs | Titles Won in 2025: #1 | Annual Winnings: ₹14.63 Lakhs | Annual Profits: ₹76,510

But Thakur wasn’t the only one lighting up the night — PokerBaazi’s felts were positively crackling, thanks in no small part to Abhishek ‘chipndchair’ Sonu, the Young Gun from Patna, who brought his signature firepower to the fore yet again.

Already a proven performer with victories in #9 The MoneyMaker and the 1000X#32 Main Event, Sonu has been riding a strong wave of momentum this year. His standout run in the NPS India 2025 saw him bag two Bronze medals and a gold medal, firmly re-establishing himself as one of the fiercest competitors in the scene.

Last night, he was back in the thick of it — this time battling it out in The Endeavour Lite, going toe-to-toe with Thakur in a finale that had all the intensity of a heavyweight clash. Sonu was locked in, making all the right moves, and came incredibly close to clinching the title. But in the end, it was Thakur’s night. Still, Sonu didn’t walk away empty-handed — far from it. For his runner-up finish, he banked a handsome ₹1.73 Lakhs, another strong addition to what’s shaping up to be an impressive 2025 campaign.

Abhishek Sonu’s online stats (excluding Natural8 India, Junglee Poker and #Pocket52): Lifetime Winnings: ₹5.33 Crores | Lifetime Profits: ₹1.33 Crores | Titles Won in 2024: #11 | Annual Winnings: ₹29.34 Lakhs

The final table of The Endeavour Lite was a thrilling mix of rising stars and seasoned grinders. Jose ‘Moxichu’ Maliakal clinched the third spot for ₹1.28 Lakhs, while the freshly-minted Sunday Big Slick champion Aditya ‘KesarDa’ Kesharwani secured fourth for ₹99,159. The recent Sunday Head Hunter runner-up Shivam ‘daddyaddy’ Kumar Dubey continued his strong form with a fifth-place finish, earning ₹82,056, with last night’s The Mint final tablist Pranay ‘setmeup’ Chawla finishing sixth for ₹66,336. Site loyalist Archit ‘RareAbility’ Saraogi also ran deep, bowing out in eighth place with ₹38,178.

With a modest ₹2,875 buy-in, The Endeavour Lite truly stole the spotlight on Tuesday night. The tournament crushed its guarantee, racking up a massive ₹17.28 Lakhs prize pool. The top 111 players walked away with payouts, each pocketing a minimum of ₹6,219—more than double their initial investment!

Final Table Results

1. Ankit ‘NOTILTING’ Thakur – ₹2,64,308
2. Abhishek ‘chipndchair’ Sonu – ₹1,72,750
3. Jose ‘Moxichu’ Maliakal – ₹1,27,835

Tuesdays on PokerBaazi aren’t just about the headlining The Endeavour; they’ve got a double dose of high-stakes energy. Sharing the spotlight is the crowd-favourite, the ₹10 Lakhs GTD Big PLO-5, a tournament that kicks off its weekly high-wire act. Since the dust settled on the record-breaking NPS India 2025, this five-card PLO slugfest has been consistently drawing crowds and smashing expectations – and last night kept that streak alive and kicking.

As 9 PM rolled around, the virtual felt lit up. A field of 232 entries, including 121 unique players, dove into the Pot-Limit Omaha fray. After almost 6.5 hours of intense play, it boiled down to two, and standing alone at the end, following a heads-up deal, was the long-time grinder known as ‘Daddu26’ (anonymity requested). The victory saw them scoop up ₹1.85 Lakhs.

‘Daddu26’ isn’t exactly an unknown quantity, especially after their spectacular win in last April’s #14 The MoneyMaker. Their form this year has been nothing short of impressive. Consider their NPS India 2025 campaign: this dedicated regular remarkably played all 191 events and managed to cash in an astounding 150 of them. They even added two NPS Bronze Medals to their collection in the NPS#55 (7-Max) SPRINT and NPS#150 (7-Max) SPRINT and finished #7 on the NPS Series Leaderboard for an additional ₹5 Lakhs!

Just last week, they came within a whisker of taking down the Big PLO-5 title but had to settle for third place (along with another final table appearance in the Summit Lite). Five days later, they returned with purpose and got the job done — this time topping the field and clinching their first title in over a month.

The final showdown in the Big PLO-5 became an all-Uttar Pradesh affair, pitting ‘Daddu26’ against Sparsh ‘sparsh1231’ Gupta. Gupta, who first grabbed attention as one of the 25 players to pocket ₹10 Lakhs each in the inaugural Baazi Millions last June, came close to grabbing his first title of 2025. He fired three bullets but had to settle for the runner-up position. However, thanks to the heads-up deal, he didn’t leave empty-handed, walking away with a personal best for the year – a solid ₹1.83 Lakhs.

Sparsh Gupta’s PokerBaazi stats: Site Winnings: ₹1.02 Crores | Site Profits: ₹33.03 Lakhs

The Big PLO-5 final table was loaded with familiar faces and serious skill. PokerBaazi Team Pro Laksh ‘boomtlt23’ Pal Singh, still riding momentum from his recent Mystery Bounty win and a strong NPS India 2025 showing, finished in third, adding ₹1.26 Lakhs to his recent earnings. The multi-talented Siddhanth ‘Bullzeye’ Kapoor, proving his versatility by also reaching the final table in The Endeavour last night, continued his consistent performance with a fourth-place finish here, good for ₹83,725. Sunday’s BSS SuperStack finalist, Rising Star Ritwik ‘Ritwikkhanna’ Khanna, also found a seat at the final table, rounding out the lineup in sixth place for ₹40,349.

With a ₹5,000 buy-in, the Big PLO-5 proved to be a rewarding affair for the top 33 finishers, each taking home at least ₹9,079 – nearly double their initial investment. With consistent participation and notable names reaching the final stages, the Big PLO-5 has become a go-to tournament for PLO grinders looking for action and value. Judging by the turnouts, the five-card poker fans are enjoying the ride!

Adda52 is raining down value like confetti, a delightful byproduct of the ongoing overlay season. But India’s most tenured online poker platform isn’t just relying on giveaways; they’re seriously amping up their MTT offerings. Tuesday night was another prime example of the juicy goodness on tap (like the newly added Tuesday Takedown). Grabbing the headlines was a player riding a wave of peak performance, Prince ‘pranavcr07’ Singh, who put on a masterful display to conquer the ₹14 Lakhs GTD The Mint, scooping up a hefty ₹2.68 Lakhs!

Singh has been running exceptionally well lately. This mid-stakes contender hit his stride after that fourth-place finish in the Baazi Millions last June on PokerBaazi, a ₹10 Lakh score that put him in the exclusive ‘Baazi Millionaires’ club. Since that point, Singh’s collection has grown by at least 11 titles, featuring big wins like Adda52’s Godfather and PokerBaazi’s WTF and Daily Last Chance.

His dedication to the grind is clear – look at the numbers. At the recent NPS India 2025, Singh plunged into a massive 187 events, cashing in 89 (a remarkable 48% cash rate). He reached four final tables, captured Gold in NPS#5 Inaugural, and Bronze in the NPS#175 (PLO-5) HighRoller. This effort landed him #3 on the Bihar State Leaderboard, trailing only Abhijeet Kumar and Young Gun Abhishek Sonu. And the pace hasn’t slowed; he’s been making serious moves on Adda52, winning The Ballers just last Friday and finishing runner-up in the revived Inception only the night before Tuesday’s triumph!

If Monday’s second-place finish stung, Singh certainly didn’t let it linger. He rebounded with authority last night, bulldozing through a field of 145 opponents (which grew to 282 total entries) in The Mint. Claiming victory in the 8 PM Tuesday headliner marked his second time winning this event this year (his previous win was in February). The ₹2.68 Lakhs prize is his third-largest score on Adda52, sitting just behind his Godfather victory last November and The Ballers win from last week.

Prince Singh’s online stats (Adda52, PokerBaazi and Spartan Poker): Lifetime Winnings: ₹3.73 Crores | Lifetime Profits: ₹1.15 Crores | Titles Won in 2025: #8

While Singh celebrated a repeat win in The Mint, the player right behind him, Rishabh ‘rishabh002’ Gupta, was busy adding another strong result to his own impressive 2025 campaign. A seasoned regular, Gupta started the year strong, taking down The Big Show right out of the gate and then posting a huge ₹13.28 Lakhs score for fourth place in Natural8 India’s The Weekender 50 just three weeks later.

February saw him reach two more final tables on Natural8 India before diving into the NPS India 2025 grind. There, he entered 142 events, cashed in 54, and made final table appearances in NPS#3 (5-Max) Hyper and NPS#12 Monday Marathon, narrowly missing out on medals in both.

Coming into Tuesday, Gupta was already warm from winning the Blockbuster Lite on Saturday and a podium finish in The Big Show Lite on Monday. He carried that form deep into The Mint, nearly capturing his first title in this specific event before settling for the runner-up position, banking a solid ₹1.97 Lakhs for his efforts. A small additional cash in PokerBaazi’s The Endeavour Lite (98th for ₹6,219) nudged his Tuesday earnings just shy of ₹2.04 Lakhs.

Rishabh Gupta’s online stats (PokerBaazi, Adda52 and Spartan Poker): Lifetime Winnings: ₹4.38 Crores | Lifetime Profits: ₹1.04 Crores | Titles Won in 2025: #2

The Mint final table wasn’t short on talent either. Other notables included Yashas ‘Killshot0510’ S (3rd for ₹1.46 Lakhs), NPC contender (NPS India 2025 Kerala State Leaderboard champ), Sreekanth ‘n0thing’ Narayan (4th for ₹1.07 Lakhs), 2024 POY #6 Shreyansh ‘halifax7701’ Sharma (6th for ₹58,414), NPS India 2025 Tamil State Leaderboard #2 and ‘High Roller Crusher’ Ashish ‘ragspoker’ Munot (7th for ₹43,083), and the recent Daily Last Chance finalist on a roll Pranay ‘setmeup’ Chawla (8th for ₹31,776).

With its ₹4,200 buy-in, The Mint provided prime value territory, particularly for overlay hunters. The tournament fell a glaring ₹3.71 Lakhs short of its ₹14 Lakhs guarantee! This bonus value was showered on the top 44 finishers, each taking home at least ₹10,569. Adda52 keeps dishing out attractive opportunities, and with their beefed-up tournament offerings, more value seems certain for players hitting their tables.

Final Table Results

1. Prince ‘pranavcr07’ Singh – ₹2,67,634
2. Rishabh ‘rishabh002’ Gupta – ₹1,97,398

Tuesday was one of those days on the virtual felt where players already running hot just turned up the heat even more. And a big part of this story was Praveen ‘praveen2626’ KR, who’s been on an absolute tear lately – and seriously, the poker community can’t stop watching. This isn’t just playing cards; it’s a masterclass in how to dominate. Hailing from Bengaluru, this IIT Kanpur alum juggles a demanding corporate gig by day and turns into a poker powerhouse by night. While he`s been on a breakout run since the start of the year, he really caught fire in March and shows no signs of cooling down as April unfolds.

After finishing third on the weekly leaderboard in the first week of this month, Praveen proved he wasn’t done lighting up the tables. Last night wasn’t just a continuation; it was a statement performance. His current surge ignited in March when he grabbed Gold in PokerBaazi’s NPS#49 (6-Max) SPRINT, swiftly followed by a Silver in the NPS#77 (7-Max) SPRINT. Since then, Praveen has put together a streak that screams peak performance. Deep tournament finishes became frequent. Consistency became his hallmark. The forward drive appears relentless.

And just when you thought he might take a breather, Praveen unleashed a Sunday special for the ages on March’s penultimate day — shipping two Adda52 marquees back-to-back, crushing the Daily Deep Dive and Sunday Head Hunter, and nearly completing a stunning hat-trick with a third-place finish in Big Whale. No wonder his profit graph for the past year is heading skyward

Last night added another entry to his growing list of achievements, and Adda52 was once again the battlefield. After swapping out the usual Monday Iron Man for the resurrected Inception, Adda52 kept things fresh by introducing the brand-new ₹7.50 Lakhs GTD Tuesday Takedown alongside its regular feature, The Mint. Looks like they’re serious about beefing up their tournament schedule!

This first-ever Tuesday Takedown, kicking off at 7 PM, was a knockout event that rewarded bold moves and sharp play. Praveen jumped into the 231-entry field (120 unique players) and, get this, didn’t even need a re-entry. It was a display of controlled aggression from start to finish. When all the virtual chips had settled, guess who was sitting on top of the mountain? Yep, him again.

His victory earned him a neat ₹1.43 Lakhs, with a hefty ₹61,411 coming from bounties alone – representing his 16th title just this year. And his Tuesday wasn’t a one-hit wonder; Praveen went deep in six other tournaments across Adda52 and PokerBaazi, accumulating over ₹1.92 Lakhs in winnings by the time the night was over.

Praveen KR’s online stats (excluding Natural8 India and Pocket52): Lifetime Winnings: ₹3.39 Crores | Lifetime Profits: ₹66.32 Lakhs | Titles Won in 2024: #16 | Annual Winnings: 65.26 Lakhs | Annual Profits: ₹21.03 Lakhs

Jharkhand’s silent assassin, Ram ‘mowumotu’ Kakkar, may have opted out of tracking, but there’s no hiding the kind of damage he’s doing on the Adda52 felts lately. Coming off a massive Sunday night victory in Big Whale, followed by a strong third-place finish in Monday’s Inception, Kakkar has been playing like a man on a mission — and he came extremely close to taking down the Tuesday Takedown title!

In what must’ve felt like a tough case of déjà vu heartbreak, Kakkar came close once again, finishing runner-up in a hard-fought battle. Still, he walked away with a solid ₹94,632, which included ₹34,594 in bounties — a worthy haul that significantly padded his weekly profits.

The debut Tuesday Takedown attracted a strong field, and the final table wasn’t short on familiar faces. Alongside Praveen and Kakkar was the ever-present threat Lavesh ‘UPay4MyWeed98’ Meena (4th for ₹37,291), Dhaval ‘faizal1506’ Doshi (5th for ₹30,733), Janish ‘janish1998’ Jain (6th for ₹29,031), Stavya ‘dgunner09’ Singh (7th for ₹28,700), and NPS#143 Slamdunk Gold Medallist Anish ‘PapaNegreanu’ Arora (8th for ₹12,734).

While the ₹3,350 buy-in Tuesday Takedown might have fallen slightly short of its advertised guarantee by ₹80,100 on its debut, it undeniably delivered fantastic value to the players. With the top 35 finishers sharing in the ₹4.15 Lakhs prize pool and a generous ₹3.35 Lakhs bounty pool up for grabs, it’s crystal clear: Adda52 is seriously boosting its MTT game – a clear positive sign for the playing community.
