Daily Majors: Tarun Goyal, Aayush Arya & Advait Rajguru Light Up Monday With Seven-Figure Scores on Natural8 India

Just when we thought the dust was settling after that insane ₹60 Crores GTD Indian Poker Masters finale, Monday came storming in with a high-octane encore! PokerBaazi’s virtual tables were buzzing, keeping the energy high. But the real fireworks show was happening over at Natural8 India, where three millionaires were minted on Monday. It was a night of massive wins and even bigger thrills – the perfect way to kick off the poker week.

Hold on tight because the online action is just getting started! The WSOP Online Series at Natural8 India is running full steam ahead until September 30. You can practically feel the electricity in the air with dreams on the line and those sky-high stakes. And let’s not forget PokerBaazi, the undisputed king of Indian online poker, celebrating its 10th Anniversary in style! Get ready for their two-month-long “Royal Flush of All Promotions” extravaganza, running from September 1 to October 3. We’re talking record-breaking promotions, epic tournaments, and a mind-blowing ₹150+ Crores in guaranteed prizes. This is going to be a poker party for the ages.

Coming to the Monday highlights, Tarun Goyal was the hero of the day! Goyal is having a year that most poker players can only dream of. He’s already bagged two massive eight-figure scores on Natural8 India this past week, including that historic WSOP bracelet win in Event #4: $840 Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha 840, where he walked away with a jaw-dropping ₹1.10 Crores. Yesterday, he went for another bracelet and came this close, finishing ninth in Event #6: $1,500 Monster Stack No-Limit Hold’em and pocketing a stunning ₹32.45 Lakhs. And if that was not enough, he also had a deep run in Event #7: Mystery Millions 215, adding another ₹6.68 Lakhs to his pile in 62nd place. With a total of ₹39.13 Lakhs earned on Monday, Goyal was the day’s biggest winner. He’s closing in fast on Young Gun Neel Joshi for the top spot in the POY race, and things are getting really interesting.

Speaking of Young Guns, Aayush Arya is making a serious name for himself. This WSOP bracelet winner, coming off a jaw-dropping victory in PokerBaazi’s IPM#154 Grand Master, steamrolled through a field of over 52,000 players in Natural8 India’s Event #7: Mystery Millions 215. He finished 13th and walked away with a massive ₹32.99 Lakhs – that’s the day’s single-largest score and his third seven-figure score on Natural8 India!

And then there’s Advait Rajguru, the Deccan Aces‘ wildcard at the Pocket52 PSL Season 6 and POY #3. He’s been on a hot streak lately with a killer performance in Natural8 India’s Gladiators of Poker 300, and he kept it going yesterday with a dominant performance in Natural8 India`s Daily Main Event 250, beating out 844 other players to finish fourth and snag a stunning ₹12.39 Lakhs.

Over at PokerBaazi, Mohit Sehra made a major statement in The Big Show, taking home a career-best ₹4.17 Lakhs after a heads-up deal. This was his first-ever flagship win on the platform, turning the tables on his past losses. He raked in a total of ₹4.27 Lakhs for the day across three deep runs! Young Gun Shardul Parthasarathi, the well-respected poker coach and captain of the Kolkata Wizards at the Pocket52 PSL Season 6, is also on a roll. Coming off a podium finish in IPM#119 Deepstack, he finished runner-up in The Big Show, bagging ₹4.13 Lakhs.

The wins kept coming on PokerBaazi! Nikhil Aneja rode his hot streak to victory in The Big Show Lite, pocketing ₹1.80 Lakhs. Amod Shripad also put up a great fight, finishing second for ₹1.18 Lakhs – his second-best score of the year and third-best overall.

Over on Adda52, Sharad Haridasan kept his winning streak alive after his three final table appearances on Sunday. He stormed through Iron Man, taking his first win in the event for ₹1.41 Lakhs. With another deep run, his total Monday winnings hit ₹1.44 Lakhs. Vaibhav Roy also had a great day, finishing as the runner-up in Iron Man with ₹1.28 Lakhs and racking up a total of ₹1.45 Lakhs.

On Junglee Poker, Manish Jangid broke his two-month title dry spell in the most epic way possible – by winning two titles back-to-back! He started with Junglee Poker’s Monday Monster for ₹94,022 and then took down the Monday Battleground for ₹36,360, racking up a total of ₹1.30 Lakhs for the day.

Praful Sinha ended his four-week title drought in style with a win in PokerBaazi’s Daily Last Chance, earning ₹1.22 Lakhs from a three-way deal. PokerBaazi regular ‘Mystiquevibe,’ fresh off a win in the Midnight SPRINT last week, grabbed second place for a personal best ₹1.13 Lakhs. Jitesh Suvarna also walked away happy with a solid third-place payday worth ₹1.12 Lakhs from the same deal.

Other big winners on PokerBaazi included ‘HS1000’ (Won (7-Max) Daily SPRINT for ₹84,000) and Sandeep Singh Kohli (Won ₹5 Lakhs GTD (7-Max) Afternoon Boost for ₹61,000).

Just when you thought the adrenaline rush of the record-breaking ₹60 Crores GTD Indian Poker Masters finale was over, PokerBaazi kept the party rolling with their Monday tournaments, and Mohit ‘bluffmaster714’ Sehra decided to steal the spotlight! This MTT grinder, who’s been honing his skills since March 2022, finally hit the jackpot, capturing his first-ever flagship victory on PokerBaazi in the ₹25 Lakhs GTD The Big Show.

Sehra faced a fierce challenge in The Big Show, with 487 entries (280 unique), creating a battlefield of poker prowess. But after a gruelling eight-hour and seven-minute showdown, Sehra proved he’s not just a ‘bluffmaster’ in name.

But the thrill didn’t end there for Sehra. This relentless player kept the chips flying and the stakes high, making two more deep runs and scooping up a blistering ₹4.27 Lakhs for the day, nearly offsetting all his past losses!

PokerBaazi’s ₹5 Lakhs GTD (7-Max) Afternoon Boost made sure it was anything but a lazy Monday afternoon!
