NPS India 2025 Day 11 Recap: Anurag Srivastava, Mayank Jaggi, Puneet Mishra & Gopal Bajaj Grab Top Honours & Wednesday Gold in the Biggest Flagships

The National Poker Series India 2025 is continuing its monumental run, changing the game for Indian online poker. Day 11 was another burst of skill and high-stakes excitement. Seven champions emerged, with two players grabbing their second Gold Medals of the series. And get this – one player joined a very exclusive club of just four by becoming a double-medalist in a single, epic night! With a staggering 9,114 entries, the PokerBaazi tables were packed, driving the prize pool to a sweet ₹2.58 Crores – that’s 12% over the ₹2.30 Crores guarantee.

This series is turning into a flat-out poker spectacle. We’re talking 106,935 entries across the first eleven days, blowing the ₹31.45 Crores guarantee out of the water, with a mind-boggling ₹35.42 Crores already paid out!

The state vs. state battle is heating up, and Maharashtra is showing some serious muscle. They led the medal count for the sixth time in 11 days, now boasting a mighty 48 medals—18 Gold, 14 Silver, and 16 Bronze. Delhi is putting up a good fight, sitting at 38 medals (9 Gold, 17 Silver, 12 Bronze), and their victory in last night’s ₹80 Lakhs GTD NPS#74 Wednesday Volley proves they’re serious contenders.

And the biggest headline of the day belonged to Anurag Srivastava. Eight days after snatching Gold in the NPS#16 Megadive, this Delhi-based poker phenom did it again. He conquered the NPS#74 Wednesday Volley, taking home a whopping ₹9.62 Lakhs. That’s his third career NPS Gold Medal and his second in this series alone – – a feat only five other players have pulled off this year. This win shot him to the #1 spot on the Delhi State Leaderboard and #5 on the overall NPC Leaderboard. Throw in deep runs in three other NPS events, and Srivastava collected over ₹9.84 Lakhs, making him the day’s biggest winner. He’s now chilling at #50 on the NPS Series Leaderboard with 9,300 points from 36 cashes and #16 in PokerBaazi’s 2025 POY race.

Mumbai veteran and former NPS India 2021 Gold Medalist Romit Advani, who recently took home a Bronze in NPS #11 Knockout (PKO), was back at it. He finished second in the Wednesday Volley, adding ₹6.62 Lakhs to his bankroll, his first Silver of the series and his third NPS medal. Advani also cashed in four other events for a combined total of nearly ₹6.81 Lakhs. And let’s give it up for Yogi Raj Singh, already a two-time Bronze Medal winner, who added another Bronze, finishing third in the Wednesday Volley and taking in ₹5.14 Lakhs, his fourth-largest score on the platform, giving him a much-welcome boost after a tough downswing.

Mayank Jaggi‘s run was truly something special. He joined an elite group – only four players this season have gotten their hands on two medals in one night. Jaggi won his first-ever NPS Gold in PokerBaazi’s NPS#76 (6-Max) SPRINT, taking ₹4.19 Lakhs after a heads-up deal. Earlier, he’d already shown his prowess by taking Bronze in the NPS#71 (PLO-5) for ₹1.57 Lakhs. Add in two other deep runs, and his winnings for the night went over ₹6.20 Lakhs – his most lucrative online run this year – lifting him to #2 on the Haryana State Leaderboard.

Young Gun Anmol Mehta, a lawyer who’s clearly found his calling in poker, also had a killer night. He battled to the final confrontation in the NPS#76 (6-Max) SPRINT, grabbing a Silver Medal and ₹4.21 Lakhs from the deal (a new high score for the year). Amazingly, he had already won Spartan Poker’s Supreme for ₹76,400 just hours earlier. Four deep runs brought him over ₹5.26 Lakhs. Also on the SPRINT podium was Delhi’s Harrish Chaudary, a past Gold Medalist, who earned his first Bronze of the series and ₹2.65 Lakhs.

Puneet Mishra staged an epic comeback, scoring his first-ever NPS Gold Medal in PokerBaazi’s NPS#71 (PLO-5) and collecting ₹2.54 Lakhs after a heads-up deal. This win lifted him to the very top of the Madhya Pradesh State Leaderboard, and he’s now sitting at #12 on the NPC India Leaderboard. Mishra also made waves in at least three other NPS events for a total of nearly ₹2.68 Lakhs.

Meanwhile, Young Gun Arsh Grover, the NPS India 2022 SPRINT Gold Medal winner, added another medal to his name. He earned a Silver in the NPS#71 (PLO-5). Grover’s share from the deal was ₹2.41 Lakhs, making him one of the 30-odd players with two or more medals in this series. Three more scores brought his total to almost ₹2.57 Lakhs, putting him at #32 on the NPS Series Leaderboard.

Like Anurag Srivastava, Gopal Bajaj wrote his name in the books at the NPS India 2025, taking his second Gold Medal of the festival last night, joining those exclusive six players. His latest win was in PokerBaazi’s NPS#73 Marathon, where he earned ₹2.22 Lakhs after a heads-up deal. This not only added another Gold to his collection but also vaulted him to #2 on the Maharashtra State Leaderboard. Bajaj’s good fortune continued with deep runs in two more NPS events, for a total of just over ₹2.32 Lakhs on Wednesday.

Kumar Vatsal, a former Gold Medallist, captured his first-ever Silver Medal in the NPS#73 Marathon, taking in ₹2.16 Lakhs from the deal. His overall play was solid, with two more deep runs that brought his total to over ₹2.44 Lakhs. Joining the medalists, ‘SpinDoctor‘ got their first-ever NPS medal, a Bronze, in the Marathon, picking up ₹1.38 Lakhs in their second-best score on PokerBaazi. Another cash finish brought their total to nearly ₹1.43 Lakhs.

And the wins just kept on coming! Five players enjoyed career-first Gold Medals, with four of these champions winning their very first medals. Big congrats to Manipur’s Churchill Maibam (Won NPS#72 Knockout (KO) for ₹3.69 Lakhs), Maharashtra’s Nilesh Hiray (Won NPS#70 (5-Max) Hyper SPRINT for ₹3.14 Lakhs), and Uttar Pradesh’s Palak ‘Itsoverforyou’ (Won NPS#75 Slamdunk for ₹2.71 Lakhs) who won the other NPS flagships!

The National Poker Champion (India) Leaderboard shows Maharashtra’s straight-up domination. They continue to lead with 48 medals—18 Gold, 14 Silver, and 16 Bronze. Delhi trails behind in second with 38 medals, comprising 9 Gold, 17 Silver, and 12 Bronze. Uttar Pradesh holds the third spot with 28 medals, including 9 Gold, 10 Silver, and 9 Bronze.

On the NPS Series Leaderboard, the competition remains tight. Bhanu Prakash KC continues to lead the pack with a commanding 17,192 points earned from 63 cashes. Hot on his heels is Vinay Rajpal, with 15,945 points from 68 cashes. PokerBaazi Team Pro Laksh Pal Singh made a big move to #3 after clinching his fourth medal (a Bronze) in the NPS#75 Slamdunk. Singh now has 14,392 points from 53 cashes.

The day also celebrated wins from Neeraj Sattawat, Yash Chitre, Arun Kumar, and Stavya Singh in major tournaments on other platforms.

Here are the Wednesday highlights!

The National Poker Series India 2025 is rewriting the poker history books and how. Day 11 added another thrilling chapter to this epic story, with seven champions rising (including two familiar faces taking a second bow!) and 21 medals finding their rightful owners. Qualifier 6 of the colossal ₹3 Crores GTD NPS#82 Mega Rush only fueled the fire. The poker faithful showed up in force, with a staggering 9,114 entrants flooding the PokerBaazi tables, generating a breathtaking ₹2.58 Crores prize pool—a significant 12% jump over the already generous ₹2.30 Crores guarantee.

Maharashtra dominated the medal count for a remarkable sixth time in 11 days, grabbing two Gold Medals (and five medals overall for the day). But Delhi was determined to make its presence felt, making a major play by capturing four medals, including a coveted Gold in the night’s crown jewel—the ₹80 Lakhs GTD NPS#74 Wednesday Volley.

Bringing that glorious victory home for Delhi was Anurag ‘Rebuy2survive’ Srivastava! Just eight days after conquering the NPS#16 Megadive, he snatched another Gold Medal, adding it to his rapidly expanding collection. He’s now the sixth player at NPS India 2025 to achieve the impressive double-Gold status, joining the elite company of Gopal Bajaj (who, coincidentally, locked up his second Gold just hours before), Bhanu Prakash KC, Advait Rajguru, Vikhyat Ahlawat, and Ankit Wadhawan.

Srivastava, a former IOPC The Millionaire Main Event champion (February 2020), clearly knows how to perform under pressure. After busting out early in the Wednesday Volley, he re-entered with guns blazing, blasting his way through a ridiculously stacked field of 986 entries (519 unique) in the 7:30 PM headliner. It was a long and gruelling battle, nearly ten hours of intense poker action, but in the end, Srivastava emerged triumphant, claiming his third-career NPS Gold Medal (his second of this particular series) and a staggering ₹9.62 lakhs prize. This incredible repeat Gold win didn’t just add to his personal glory; it launched him straight to the #1 spot on the Delhi State Leaderboard, dethroning Saahib Bawa and to #5 on the overall NPC Leaderboard!

And as if conquering the day’s featured event wasn’t enough, Srivastava also made deep runs in three more NPS events. He raked in a grand total of over ₹9.84 Lakhs across his Wednesday night blitz, making him the day’s top performer by a clear margin. His total performance rocketed him to #50 on the NPS Series Leaderboard, with 9,300 points across 36 cashes and to #16 in PokerBaazi’s 2025 POY race.

Mumbai veteran Romit ’tilt83′ Advani, the cash game pro who captained the Gujarat Falcons in Pocket52 PSL Season 6, came incredibly close to seizing his second-ever NPS Gold Medal. A former NPS India 2021 Gold Medallist, Advani had already picked up a Bronze Medal in NPS #11 Knockout (PKO) last week. He fired two bullets in the Wednesday Volley and played masterfully, finishing second for ₹6.62 Lakhs and earning his first Silver Medal (his third NPS medal in total). This accomplishment has cemented his place as one of 34 players who’ve managed to win multiple medals at the festival while bumping him up to #19 on the Maharashtra State Leaderboard!

Advani displayed his poker skills across multiple events, cashing in four more and gathering a hefty sum close to ₹6.81 Lakhs for a very lucrative Wednesday session.

Yogi ‘bajrangibhaiijaan’ Raj Singh, already a two-time Bronze Medallist, added another to his growing collection.

With an ₹8,625 buy-in, the NPS#74 Wednesday Volley was the hottest ticket in town and the biggest draw of the day at the NPS. And with a substantial ₹6.05 Lakhs overlay, the value was simply incredible. The advertised ₹80 Lakhs guarantee showered riches on the top 167 finishers, with each walking away with at least ₹14,400.

The NPS India 2025 kept the poker fires burning hot on Wednesday, and while two players were busy celebrating their second Gold Medal wins of the festival, Mayank ‘alwaystiltAA’ Jaggi was having a night he wouldn’t soon forget, grabbing not one, but two NPS medals! He joined a select club, becoming just the fourth player to pull off this impressive double-medal feat in a single night, hot on the heels of Young Gun Hardik Nair, who had done the same just the night before.

This long-time poker regular, best known for almost tasting victory in The Millionaire Legends in March 2020, finally broke a long title-less streak in spectacular style. The setting for this glorious comeback was PokerBaazi’s ₹40 Lakhs GTD NPS#76 (6-Max) SPRINT, where he scooped up his first-ever NPS Gold Medal. And he had already warmed up for that big break by grabbing the Bronze Medal in the ₹20 Lakhs GTD NPS#71 (PLO-5), showing that he can hold his own in both Hold’em and PLO.

Jaggi’s PLO game had already been turning heads earlier in the series, with a Bronze Medal in the NPS#25 (PLO-4) and another fifth-place showing in the NPS#52 (PLO-6). But he came into the 9:30 PM NPS#76 (6-Max) SPRINT with a clear mission – the Gold. He battled his way through a gigantic field of 1,433 runners (651 unique), putting his head down and grinding it out for close to seven hours before finally seizing the win. After negotiating a heads-up deal, he went on to win the Gold Medal and a hefty ₹4.19 Lakhs – his biggest score of the year and the fourth-largest of his career.

But his medal spree hadn’t even started there. Earlier in the evening, Jaggi put in five entries in the 4 PM NPS#71 (PLO-5). While the Gold remained elusive, he still made a splash on the podium, landing his second Bronze Medal of the series and a cool ₹1.57 Lakhs. This puts him in a very select group of only six players who’ve earned three medals in this series.

Even with two medals in the bag, Jaggi wasn’t finished. He pulled off deep runs in two other NPS events, boosting his Wednesday winnings to a sweet sum of over ₹6.20 Lakhs. This was his most lucrative online performance this year by far, shooting him up to #2 on the Haryana State Leaderboard.

The man who almost stopped Jaggi’s clean sweep in the NPS#76 (6-Max) SPRINT was lawyer-turned-poker-pro Young Gun Anmol ‘anzzzzz’ Mehta. This Delhi-based powerhouse was on fire, dominating not only the NPS but also other platforms. He took three shots in the NPS#76 (6-Max) SPRINT, fighting his way to the final two and eventually agreeing to a deal before settling for the Silver Medal (his first medal of this series) and an even sweeter ₹4.21 Lakhs – easily his best score of 2025.

Mehta was on a roll, looking for back-to-back wins. He had already conquered Spartan Poker’s ₹4 Lakhs GTD Supreme, outplaying 81 entrants in the 8 PM tournament and pocketing ₹76,400. By the end of the night, he had four deep runs under his belt. His combined winnings for the night crossed ₹5.26 Lakhs, and almost ₹4.40 Lakhs of that was from his amazing NPS run.

Delhi’s Harrish ‘Realfc’ Chaudary, a past NPS Gold Medallist, rounded out the NPS#76 (6-Max) SPRINT podium, taking home his first Bronze Medal and a respectable ₹2.65 Lakhs – his fourth-best payday on PokerBaazi.

The NPS#76 (6-Max) SPRINT final table was a battleground packed with top-tier talent. Yesterday’s NPS#70 (5-Max) Hyper SPRINT finalist finalist and NPS regular Chirag ‘Miyagi’ Sodha took fourth place for ₹1.94 Lakhs, while Saturday’s NPS#48 Megadive finalist Shubham ‘backchod’ Agarwal finished fifth for ₹1.41 Lakhs. Dev ‘rucharth’ Mittal completed the top six, pocketing ₹1.03 Lakhs.

The ₹3,450 buy-in NPS#76 (6-Max) SPRINT was another smashing success for the NPS India 2025, exceeding its guarantee and creating a blazing ₹42.99 Lakhs prize pool. The top 242 finishers all got a slice of the action, each earning no less than ₹5,159—over 1.5 times their initial buy-in, further extending this epic series’ record-breaking streak!

Manipur’s Churchill ‘chillmaibam’ Maibam – a name that once echoed through the halls of PokerBaazi – had seemingly faded into the digital ether. For eight long months, the poker community whispered, “Where’s Churchill?” After a blazing start to 2024, punctuated by a runner-up finish in the WTF (June 7) and a podium appearance in the same event on July 11, Maibam went dark, dabbling in satellites but far from the spotlight.

But last night, the whispers turned to roars. Maibam didn’t just return; he staged a full-blown poker resurrection. In a performance for the ages, he broke an eight-month silence in style, grabbing his first-ever flagship title of the year and the coveted NPS Gold Medal in PokerBaazi’s ₹30 Lakhs GTD NPS#72 Knockout (KO). With a colossal field of 1,262 entries (618 unique) flooding the tables, the 5:30 PM KO flagship became a nearly ten-hour battleground. Maibam outlasted them all, banking a career-topping ₹3.69 Lakhs score – including ₹3,000 just from bounties. This win not only more than doubled his PokerBaazi profits but also catapulted him to the summit of the Manipur State Leaderboard, giving the state its first-ever and very shiny Gold Medal!

It seems that the NPS#72 Knockout (KO) was a stage for comebacks. The ever-dangerous Kritarth ‘AgentJack’ Pant, a Delhi-based poker regular, also made a resounding return. After kicking off the year with victories in the Adda52 Millions and PokerBaazi’s BSS SuperStack, Pant came back swinging. He re-loaded five times in the KO event, proving that persistence pays off. Though he missed the Gold, the ₹2.59 Lakhs (₹3,500 in bounties) cash prize and the Silver Medal (also his first-ever NPS medal) was a sweet consolation!

Pant, however, was far from finished. He went on a tear, making deep runs in four additional NPS events, padding his bankroll with over ₹3.02 Lakhs by the time he was done for the night.

‘Rampager1,’ a player with a history of success, having grabbed seven titles, seven runner-up finishes and numerous final-table finishes in 2024, was itching to break a two-month title drought. A former WTF and December’s BSS Kickoff champ, ‘Rampager1,’ got tantalizingly close to clinching their first-ever Gold Medal in the NPS#72 Knockout (KO). After three entries, their run concluded in third place, earning them a sweet ₹1.99 Lakhs (₹3,500 in bounties), pushing them up to #3 on the Gujarat State Leaderboard. They also picked up a small score in NPS#75 Slamdunk (207th for ₹2,624), rounding out the day with nearly ₹2.02 Lakhs to their name.

The NPS#72 Knockout (KO) final table was a reg fest, with Biplob ‘hellhell’ Rana (4th for ₹1.52 Lakhs), last month’s Sunday Head Hunter champion, Rising Star Aman ‘KarmaPoker’ Parakh (6th for ₹85,167), Rohit ‘mrblue1205’ Malhotra (7th for ₹66,130), and NPS#39 Deepdive Gold Medallist Manish ‘thekid’ Lakhotia (8th for ₹46,617) all making their presence felt.

Guarantee-crushing turnouts are becoming the norm at the NPS India 2025, and even the ₹3,450 buy-in NPS#72 Knockout (KO) easily cruised past its guarantee, building a ₹31.55 Lakhs prize pool. The top 201 finishers received a payout, with a min-cash starting at a not-too-shabby ₹5,048, keeping the NPS India 2025 action rolling.

The NPS India 2025 is a Gold-Medal factory, churning out new poker heroes faster than you can say “all-in.” Wednesday saw five fresh faces etched into NPS lore, each grabbing their first taste of Gold Medal glory. Among these exciting stories, none shone brighter than Palak ‘Itsoverforyou,’ who burst onto the scene with a sensational debut win in the ₹20 Lakhs GTD NPS#75 Slamdunk.

Palak, a fresh face who made his tournament debut just last Friday, wasted no time shaking things up. In only his second tournament, Palak went for the jugular in PokerBaazi`s NPS#75 Slamdunk. He faced down a monstrous field of 1,590 entries (829 unique) in the 8:30 PM flagship, enduring a gruelling eight-hour and 45-minute battle of wits and wills. And against all odds, this rookie walked away with his first-ever NPS Gold Medal – unbelievably, his first-ever cash on the platform – and a hefty ₹2.71 Lakhs payday.

Palak’s PokerBaazi stats: Site Winnings: ₹2.71 Lakhs | Site Profits: ₹2.67 Lakhs | NPS Medals Won: 1 Gold | Lifetime NPS Winnings: ₹2.71 Lakhs

Hot on Palak’s heels was Prakhar ‘prakhar57’ Patel, a player who’d previously tasted the podium’s lower steps in the Daily Boost. Patel came this close to finally grasping that elusive NPS Gold but had to settle for a runner-up finish in the NPS#75 Slamdunk. While Gold slipped through his fingers, Patel still pocketed a sweet ₹1.91 Lakhs and his first-ever NPS Silver Medal – a prize that yanked him back into the black on PokerBaazi after a six-month downswing. He has also blasted his way to #4 on the Madhya Pradesh State Leaderboard.

Then there’s PokerBaazi Team Pro Laksh ‘boomtlt23’ Pal Singh, a force of nature at this year’s NPS India. After a slow start in the series, Singh went into overdrive. He snagged a Gold in the NPS#68 Marathon and a pair of Bronze Medals in the NPS#41 (6-Max) SPRINT and NPS#57 (PLO-4). And he wasn’t finished. Singh powered his way to another podium appearance in the NPS#75 Slamdunk, adding a third Bronze to his growing collection (his fourth medal of the series and sixth overall) and a ₹1.45 Lakhs reward after two entries. This performance puts him in the exclusive company of fellow PokerBaazi Team Pro Zarvan Tumboli and the seemingly unstoppable Bhanu Prakash KC – all three now boasting four medals in this series. Team PokerBaazi’s medal count? A stunning eight and rapidly climbing.

Singh’s four-medal domination has catapulted him to #7 on the NPC India Leaderboard. He’s also tightened his grip on the #1 spot on the Haryana State Leaderboard and is sitting pretty at #3 on the NPS Series Leaderboard, with 14.39K points from 53 cash finishes across 76 tournaments. And if that was that, it would have been enough, but Singh added deep runs in four other NPS events to his Wednesday night, bringing his total take for the evening to just a hair over ₹1.69 Lakhs.

The NPS#75 Slamdunk was a magnet for other poker heavyweights looking to add some hardware to their collections, like the NPS#26 (7-Max) Championship Bronze Medallist Young Gun Shardul ‘duuurrrr’ Parthasarathi (4th for ₹1.06 Lakhs), NPS#13 Deepdive Gold Medallist Rajneesh ‘msdhoni’ Thakur (6th for ₹53,424), and NPS#39 Deepdive finalist Inzemaam ‘Shavzz’ Husain (7th for ₹42,930).

Wednesday at the NPS India 2025 was almost a guarantee-crushing extravaganza. Even the ₹1,725 buy-in NPS#75 Slamdunk left its guarantee in the dust, generating a tempting ₹23.85 Lakhs prize pool. A full 260 players walked away with a piece of the pie, with even the minimum cash being a respectable ₹2,624, proving that the action at this historic series remains red-hot.

The NPS India 2025 is a non-stop highlight reel of poker action, and Wednesday night’s performance was a masterclass in domination, starring some fresh faces and a familiar gang of crushers. Among them, poker stalwart Puneet ‘bonomo’ Mishra (opted out of our tracking) made a stunning return to the poker scene after what seemed like ages.

Mishra’s no ordinary Joe; he has an APT Online India Championship Event win (2022), along with podium finishes in big-name events like the IPM Big Value and #3 The MoneyMaker (both in 2024). His comeback was ferocious, as he obliterated the competition to claim his long-sought-after first-ever NPS Gold Medal – a victory that etches his name in NPS history – this time conquering PokerBaazi’s ₹20 Lakhs GTD NPS#71 (PLO-5)!

The NPS#71 (PLO-5), the 4 PM five-card flagship, is known for its wild swings. A couple of bullets. That’s all it took for Mishra to conquer this PLO monster. He steamrolled through a guarantee-crushing field of 351 players (which ballooned to 970 total entries) in a poker marathon that ran just past midnight. Once down to the final two, he engineered a heads-up deal that locked in the lion’s share of the loot: a sweet ₹2.54 Lakhs, before going on to capture that shiny Gold Medal. This victory wasn’t just about the cash; it was about claiming his place among the best. The win has him sitting pretty at the top of the Madhya Pradesh State Leaderboard and boosted him to #12 on the NPC India Leaderboard, mirroring his state`s nationwide ranking!

But, like a true poker grinder, Mishra made waves in at least three other NPS events, and when the dust settled, his Wednesday winnings had snowballed to nearly ₹2.68 Lakhs. With a performance this strong, more medals seem less like a question and more like a certainty.

The chase for NPS glory wasn’t a one-man show. Young Gun Arsh ‘Button_Hai_Bro’ Grover, the NPS India 2022 SPRINT Gold Medallist, who already boasts a Bronze this series (from the NPS#7 (7-Max) SPRINT on the opening day), added a third NPS medal (his second of the series) to his trophy case! He pulled out a powerful Silver Medal finish in the NPS#71 (PLO-5), raking in ₹2.41 Lakhs from the same deal – making him one of the 30-odd players with two or more medals this series.

This finish also helped Grover climb to #9 on the Uttar Pradesh State Leaderboard. He also moved up to #32 on the NPS Series leaderboard, with 10,845 points earned from 45 cashes (out of the 69 events he’s entered). He wasn’t done yet, scoring three more cashes to see his day`s take reach almost ₹2.57 Lakhs.

Mayank ‘alwaystiltAA’ Jaggi also made some serious noise on Day 11, taking a page out of Young Gun Hardik Nair‘s playbook from Day 10. This long-time, albeit sporadic player, known for his impressive runs in big-ticket events like a runner-up finish in The Millionaire Legend in 2020, has been a consistent force at the NPS India 2025, already having earned a Bronze Medal in last Wednesday’s NPS#25 (PLO-4). He’d been craving that NPS Gold Medal and he didn’t just get a taste of it last night; he devoured the whole meal, adding not one but two more medals to his growing collection. And, most importantly, he finally seized that elusive Gold in PokerBaazi’s NPS#76 (6-Max) SPRINT, taking home a handsome ₹4.19 Lakhs.

Four hours before his top finish, he took third in the NPS#71 (PLO-5), firing as many as five bullets to survive the PLO currents. This netted him a cool ₹1.57 Lakhs and the Bronze Medal – his second of this 2025 run! Jaggi wasn’t just collecting bling; he was also raking in the dough as he went deep in two other NPS events! His total winnings for the day soared past ₹6.20 Lakhs, boosting him all the way to #2 on the Haryana State Leaderboard.

> 1st in PokerBaazi’s NPS#76 (6-Max) SPRINT for ₹4,19,452

The NPS#71 (PLO-5) final table was a gauntlet of poker talent, with seasoned regs Nandan ‘ragemonster’ Pugalia (5th for ₹85,118) and Ramu ‘Ramu0550’ Kushwaha (6th for ₹64,020) adding extra heat to the battle.

Like most of the other NPS flagship on Wednesday, the ₹2,875 buy-in NPS#71 (PLO-5) obliterated its guarantee, generating a juicy ₹24.25 Lakhs prize pool. The top 152 players made a profit, with even the min-cash at a respectable ₹5,093. This, once again, proves that the NPS India 2025 isn’t just another tournament series; it’s a poker phenomenon – a breeding ground for champions and a goldmine of opportunity!

The NPS India 2025 is a non-stop highlight factory, churning out new poker heroes daily while established veterans add more sparkle to their already impressive resumes! On Day 11, the high-octane action saw Nilesh ‘nealaise’ Hiray, a low-to-mid stakes grinder on PokerBaazi, score a major career milestone, grabbing his first flagship title (and second title overall) in the ₹20 Lakhs GTD NPS#70 (5-Max) Hyper SPRINT, along with that oh-so-desirable NPS Gold Medal!

The hyper-fast format meant there was no room for slow play, with the action hitting a fever pitch right from the start! Kicking off the day’s NPS festivities, the 2:30 PM hyper-turbo flagship wrapped up in a blistering four hours and five minutes! But this victory was far from a cakewalk, with a guarantee-crushing field of 1,367 contenders (583 unique) all vying for the top spot in this fast and furious showdown!

But this was Hiray’s time to shine. He rose above the chaos, claiming the NPS Gold Medal – a first for his collection. This win also delivered his biggest-ever payday, showering him with a well-earned ₹3.14 Lakhs – more than seven times his previous best. He didn’t just win a tournament; he catapulted himself to #13 on the Maharashtra State Leaderboard, which further extended its dominance with a stunning 17 Gold Medals and counting!

Aside from this breakthrough win, Hiray added a little extra in the NPS#75 Slamdunk (24th for ₹15,503) for a Wednesday haul of nearly ₹3.30 Lakhs. This influx of cash not only wiped out his past losses but also gave his bankroll a serious injection of funds for the rest of his NPS India 2025 campaign!

Varunn ‘Varunn’ Gaala is making serious waves at NPS India 2025! After ending a long seven-month title drought last week with a Gold Medal performance in the NPS#17 Deepdive, Gaala was back in the hunt. He fired four entries in the NPS#70 (5-Max) Hyper SPRINT before finding his rhythm in the intense back-and-forth and came agonizingly close to a second Gold! He eventually finished as the runner-up, collecting ₹2.19 Lakhs and his first Silver Medal of the series (his third NPS medal overall)! This impressive finish bumped him to #4 on the Maharashtra State Leaderboard.

Varunn Gaala’s online stats (PokerBaazi and Adda52): Lifetime Winnings: ₹1.63 Crores | Lifetime Profits: ₹29.04 Lakhs | Titles Won in 2025: #1 | Moves to #4 on the Maharashtra State Leaderboard | NPS Medals Won: 1 Gold, 1 Silver & 1 Bronze | Lifetime NPS Winnings: ₹18.72 Lakhs

Unmesh ‘Unmesh’ Nair also carved his name into the NPS history books, seizing his first-ever NPS medal (Bronze) in the Hyper SPRINT and a well-deserved ₹1.69 Lakhs for his third-place accomplishment. This made him the third player to win a medal for Kerala in this festival, lifting him to #2 on the Kerala State Leaderboard. Keeping the momentum alive, Nair cashed in three additional NPS events, taking home just under ₹1.89 Lakhs on Wednesday.

As usual, the ₹2,300 buy-in NPS#70 (5-Max) Hyper SPRINT attracted a massive field, creating a ₹27.34 Lakhs prize pool that crushed the guarantee. The top 226 players shared in this expanded prize fund, with even a min-cash worth ₹3,828, adding another dramatic entry in the already legendary NPS India 2025 saga.

The NPS India 2025 is unfolding like a high-octane poker blockbuster, and the second week is proving to be just as explosive as the first. Wednesday night was another chapter of intense card-slinging action, and the spotlight was beaming down on a few familiar faces who are turning this series into their own personal highlight reel. One name, however, is ringing out louder than the rest: Gopal ‘AiDarwin’ Bajaj. This young poker prodigy (brother of top poker pro Vishal Bajaj) isn’t just participating in the NPS; he’s seemingly intent on conquering it.

Bajaj is riding an undeniable wave of momentum. He crushed the competition, grabbing his second Gold Medal of the series (who would have guessed he had zero before this all began?!), a feat that puts him in a very exclusive club of just six players. It feels like someone’s destined to snag a third, and Bajaj is certainly playing like he’s got his eyes on that prize. He outplayed everyone in PokerBaazi’s ₹20 Lakhs GTD NPS#73 Marathon, officially joining the two-Gold club just hours before Anurag Srivastava pulled off the same move by winning the NPS#74 Wednesday Volley.

The 6:30 PM NPS#73 Marathon has a reputation as a true endurance test, a long and brutal battleground thanks to its deep-stack format, and that’s where Bajaj apparently feels right at home. He outlasted 761 other hopefuls, a field that exploded to a colossal 1,506 total entries, enduring a poker war that lasted a staggering nine hours and 17 minutes.

The final act was a nail-biting heads-up skirmish. Bajaj, never one to shy away from a good deal, struck one that gave him the biggest slice of the pie: ₹2.22 Lakhs. But it was clear that the win was more than a payday. Bajaj, Saturday`s NPS#47 Slamdunk champion, is rapidly building a poker legacy. With this second career NPS Gold Medal firmly in his grasp, he’s not just carving his name into NPS history; he’s chiselling it in deep, all while contributing another Gold to Maharashtra’s impressive collection, helping him to climb to #2 on the State Leaderboard.

But this poker predator doesn’t stop at one big core. Bajaj also went deep in two other NPS events, bringing his total Wednesday winnings to just over ₹2.32 Lakhs, plus that shiny Gold Medal.

But Bajaj wasn’t the only one out to make a statement—Kumar ‘23offsuits’ Vatsal, a former NPS Gold Medallist, had a score to settle. After a sixth-place showing in the NPS#35 #Marathon last week, Vatsal was clearly playing with a chip on his shoulder. He fired four bullets in the NPS#73 Marathon, and his grit paid off big time. He locked down his first-ever NPS Silver Medal (and his first of this series), taking home a very respectable ₹2.16 Lakhs (thanks to the heads-up arrangement). Two more deep runs last evening boosted his total to over ₹2.44 Lakhs. His hot streak has catapulted him to #10 on the Haryana State Leaderboard.

And then there’s ‘SpinDoctor.‘ This grinder, who’s been around since August 2024, is now officially an NPS star. After a (7-Max) Afternoon Boost win last month, they battled their way through the NPS#73 Marathon, seizing their first-ever NPS medal, a Bronze, and a cool ₹1.38 Lakhs, their second-best PokerBaazi score ever. ‘SpinDoctor’ kept the momentum going, adding another ₹5,194 from NPS#70 (5-Max) Hyper SPRINT (119th), reaching almost ₹1.43 Lakhs for the night and gaining some much-welcome positive results after a tough downswing!

SpinDoctor’s NPS stats: Moves to #31 on the Maharashtra State Leaderboard | NPS Medals Won: 1 Bronze | Lifetime NPS Winnings: ₹13.52 Lakhs

The NPS#73 Marathon final table featured an array of poker talent. The lineup included Parmeet ‘acekid’ Singh Arora (4th for ₹1.01 Lakh), the NPS rockstar Shagun ‘sogani22’ Jain (5th for ₹72,740) – who’s already collected three medals this series, and NPS#30 Slamdunk and NPS#50 Sunday Kickoff finalist Pranay ‘setmeup’ Chawla (6th for ₹50,602), along with Rafiq ‘Mrkhan’ Khan (7th for ₹40,662).

The ₹1,725 buy-in NPS#73 Marathon once again delivered incredible value, blowing past its guarantee and building a juicy ₹22.59 Lakhs prize pool. With 248 players cashing, even a min-cash of ₹3,010 represented a rewarding return, adding another captivating chapter to the ever-evolving story of the NPS India 2025.
