Daily Majors: Tarun Goyal’s GGMillion$ Glory and Royal Flush Riches on Natural8 India Land Him a Mind-Blowing ₹3.54 Crores on Tuesday

Live poker has been dominating the headlines lately, and rightfully so. The DPT Xpress just wrapped up a successful seventh run at Casino Deltin Royale in Goa. Meanwhile, Indian players have been making waves internationally, from WPT Cambodia to APT Manila Classic 2025. They’ve already snagged four titles in Manila, and a whopping 17 of them are battling it out on Day 2 of the guarantee-smashing Main Event. But the biggest newsflash comes from the virtual tables.

Natural8 India just witnessed something extraordinary. The first-ever eight-figure payout on the platform this year! Someone’s 2025 is off to a very good start. More on that in a moment.

The online poker scene is a pressure cooker. PokerBaazi’s ₹5 Crores 2025 POY Leaderboard has ignited a year-long war, with players hungry for the top spot. Junglee Poker is adding fuel to the flames with its budget-friendly ₹1+ Crore Lakhpati Legends, catering to mid-stakes grinders. Pocket52 is keeping the momentum building with their regular flagships, offering over ₹5.50 Crores in guaranteed prizes this month. And with PokerBaazi`s colossal ₹100 Crores GTD National Poker Series India looming on the horizon, February is set to erupt in a flurry of poker action.

Now, back to that earth-shattering score on Natural8 India. The headline that’s dominating the poker world: Tarun Goyal‘s monumental ₹3.54 Crores haul! Natural8 India has been minting millionaires at a breakneck pace, and it was only a matter of time before an eight-figure score rolled in this year. But it’s almost poetic that it went to Goyal. The former IT professional turned poker legend who redefined records in 2024, amassing a staggering ₹12.39 Crores in winnings (almost ₹10 Crores in profit!), mostly on Natural8 India to win the 2024 POY crown by a landslide!

Five eight-figure scores on the platform in five months in 2024. Last night, he added a sixth. Eighth place in the elite 1,226-entry field of Natural8 India’s weekly high-roller showdown, the ₹10.30 Lakhs buy-in GGMillion$ Main Event earned him a breathtaking ₹2.74 Crores. His second-best score ever (after that mind-blowing ₹5.05 Crores haul in the Mystery Millions Online 2750 in December). This is also the fourth-highest online score ever by an Indian player. Impressive, to say the least.

But fate, it seems, wasn’t done with him yet. He also scooped a jaw-dropping ₹79.83 Lakhs jackpot for flopping a royal flush on a $100/$200 All in Or Fold PLO cash table! With ₹3.20 Crores in total winnings this year (the official stats don`t account for the cash game jackpot), he has already taken a seemingly insurmountable lead in the 2025 POY race as he continues his blaze a trail towards a second consecutive POY crown (a feat only accomplished by another poker legend Young Gun Gaurav Sood so far)!

You can watch Goyal`s blistering run on the final table of the GGMillion$ Main Event on GGPoker`s YouTube channel below.

While Goyal was making history, other players were scripting their own stories of success. Over at PokerBaazi, Siddhant Gaurav, still riding the high from his Daily Last Chance win just two weeks prior, stormed back to conquer The Endeavour for a massive ₹6.75 Lakhs after a heads-up deal. This monumental victory didn’t just triple his previous best score—it obliterated all his past losses in one fell swoop. Drish Aggarwal, who triumphed in Adda52’s Godfather on the same day Gaurav won the Daily Last Chance, almost snagged his second major title of the year in The Endeavour, taking home ₹5.75 Lakhs as the runner-up from the same deal—his second-best online score.

Natural8 India was also the stage for a spectacular debut for ‘The multiverse7,’ who outplayed a field of 291 runners in the Zodiac Dragon High Roller, seizing the title and a handsome ₹6.21 Lakhs.

Back on PokerBaazi, “SPRINT King” Pradip Ghosh also made waves, clinching his first victory in The Endeavour Lite and adding ₹2.45 Lakhs to his bankroll after a heads-up deal. Riding the momentum from a recent podium finish in the BSS Kickoff, Cholaraj G followed up with another strong performance, finishing runner-up in The Endeavour Lite and banking ₹2.05 Lakhs from the deal.

PokerBaazi regular ‘Krish1177’ finally smashed through to a major breakthrough, taking down the Big PLO-5 for their first-ever flagship title on the platform and a personal best ₹2.08 Lakhs. With another runner-up finish in the (7-Max) SPRINT and two other cash finishes, ‘Krish1177’ racked up nearly ₹2.39 Lakhs for the day, offsetting almost 90% of their past losses in one glorious night. Online stalwart Tarush Gupta, still riding high from his victory in PokerBaazi’s The Summit a fortnight ago, finished second in the Big PLO-5, pocketing ₹1.71 Lakhs and adding over ₹1.79 Lakhs for the day across two deep runs.

On Adda52, Prince Singh, still buzzing from a second-place finish in PokerBaazi’s WTF a fortnight ago and a red-hot Monday run, dominated The Mint DPT Edition, pocketing ₹2.03 Lakhs after a heads-up deal (his second-best score on the platform) and rounded off his Tuesday grind with ₹2.24 Lakhs overall with another ninth-place finish in the BIG PLO-5. Not far behind him, Kashish Gupta, the #28 The MoneyMaker champion and Friday`s The Quest Lite winner, placed runner-up. Thanks to the heads-up deal, he walked away with ₹1.99 Lakhs, bringing his Tuesday total to at least ₹2.18 Lakhs with two more recorded deep runs.

Over at Pocket52, Mumbai-based poker ace Aditya Kulkarni finally broke through, seizing his first flagship title on the platform this year after an agonizing nine final table finishes, conquering Pocket Bullets for ₹1.88 Lakhs. Kulkarni also stormed the final table in The Endeavour Lite, finishing fourth for ₹1.02 Lakhs, racking up at least ₹2.90 Lakhs from these two scores. His heads-up opponent, Arya Dutta, riding high from his victory in PokerBaazi`s WTF this Friday, almost doubled down on his success, finishing runner-up in Pocket Bullets for ₹1.32 Lakhs.

On Junglee Poker, ‘hotstreak’ soared to victory in Tuesday Phoenix, pocketing ₹1.67 Lakhs.

Siddhanth Kapoor, the multi-talented actor-DJ and poker reg, awoke from a seven-month title slumber to conquer PokerBaazi’s Daily Last Chance for ₹1.49 Lakhs after a heads-up deal. He padded his bankroll with another deep run in The Endeavour, bringing his total to over ₹1.61 Lakhs. Dhruv Singh, a former The Endeavour Lite runner-up and four-time (7-Max) SPRINT champion (with a recent victory on February 1), fell short of the top spot in the Daily Last Chance, taking second place for ₹1.69 Lakhs.

Tuesday also saw victories from a host of notables like Amit Gehani, Pranav Khandalkar, Janish Jain (won two titles), Tanay Kauntia, Neerav Bhatia, Sahil Babbar, Moohak Kapoor, Jasvir Singh, Vikram Mishra, Aritra Hazra and Jay Gautam in other marquee events.

Here are the Tuesday highlights!

Forget fairy tales; Tuesday night was a poker spectacle! PokerBaazi, the undisputed king of the Indian online poker scene, hosted another epic battle in its ₹50 Lakhs GTD The Endeavour, and it was a night for the underdogs.

Siddhant ‘ALLinBoy’ Gaurav, a dedicated mid-stakes and satellites grinder since February 2023, delivered a performance for the ages. He took down The Endeavour in dominating fashion, claiming his second flagship title of the year and etching his name into PokerBaazi’s Hall of Fame. While he was nowhere close to the legendary Tarun Goyal, the reigning 2024 POY champion and WSOP bracelet winner who blew everyone out of the water with a mind-blowing ₹2.74 Crores score for finishing eighth in Natural8 India’s weekly high-roller showdown, the ₹10.30 Lakhs buy-in GGMillion$ Main Event – the first eight-figure score of the year! And if that was not enough, he also snagged a ₹79.83 Lakhs jackpot on the cash tables! Goyal is now miles ahead in the 2025 POY race, looking to make it two in a row.

The Endeavour was a marathon, not a sprint, clocking in at 8 hours and 12 minutes of intense poker action. A stacked field of 558 contenders (978 total entries) jumped into the fray for this 8 PM showstopper, but Gaurav, fuelled by his recent win in the Daily Last Chance just two weeks ago, was ready to rumble. Navigating the gauntlet with a fearless approach, he lived up to his ‘ALLinBoy’ moniker, crushing the final table and taking home a whopping ₹6.75 Lakhs after a well-calculated heads-up deal. This not only shattered his previous personal best by three times but also wiped out all his past losses in one perfect run.

What makes this win even more incredible is how Gaurav got in. He snagged two tickets to The Endeavour through ₹575 buy-in satellites (firing twice in each), meaning his total investment was a mere ₹2,300. With he needed only a single bullet for this monumental win, his return on investment skyrocketed to an eye-popping 298X. This is what makes poker so captivating – it’s a game where dreams can become reality with a combination of skill, strategy, and a little bit of luck.

Drish ‘dpatron’ Aggarwal, another online reg who triumphed in Adda52’s Godfather on the same day Gaurav conquered the Daily Last Chance, was also in top form. He was also gunning for his second flagship win of the year, but despite a stellar effort, he fell just short, settling for a still-impressive ₹5.75 Lakhs from the same heads-up deal – his second-best online score. Interestingly, Aggarwal also snagged his first entry into The Endeavour via a satellite, though his second bullet was the one that carried him to this breakout score.

The Endeavour also saw strong performances by poker veteran Karan ‘Apocalypto’ Radia (3rd for ₹3.50 Lakhs), Friday’s The Quest fourth-place finisher Wilson ‘kalingkaling’ Yomso (4th for ₹2.85 Lakhs), Saturday’s Blockbuster Lite runner-up Gautam ‘Actaeon6079’ Bharadwaj (5th for ₹2.23 Lakhs), Shubham ‘thrViperArena’ Chaudhary (6th for ₹1.74 Lakhs), and Karan ‘Mahadevpoker’ Pantola (8th for ₹97,500).

With a ₹5,750 buy-in, The Endeavour wasn’t for the faint of heart. It was a high-stakes battleground for those with a hunger for poker glory and a willingness to risk it all for a shot at the whopping ₹50 Lakhs prize pool. And let’s not forget the sweet overlay of ₹1.10 Lakhs, making it an even more enticing proposition for the 152 players who made it into the money, each taking home at least ₹9,000, all of it adding to another night of big wins and thrilling action on PokerBaazi.

PokerBaazi’s flagship tournaments always whip up a storm, but last night’s ₹15 Lakhs GTD The Endeavour Lite was a thriller with a capital T! And leading the charge, as he so often does, was the “SPRINT King” himself, Pradip ‘Nit2Donk’ Ghosh. This guy is a seasoned campaigner, a master of the hustle, and a stone-cold killer when it comes to racking up those juicy scores.

With his sights set on the glorious PokerBaazi ₹5 Crores 2025 Player of the Year crown (and that sweet, sweet ₹1 Crore payday for the champion), Ghosh has been weaving his magic right from the year’s kickoff, conquering The Endeavour right off the bat, and now he’s added another trophy to his already overflowing collection.

Ghosh’s resume reads like a poker fairytale. Three Indian Poker Masters titles, a pair of National Poker Series gold medals, and a Mega Millions victory – this guy has more bling than a rapper’s entourage. The Durgapur-based poker maestro, who’s been keeping a low profile since his near-miss in Adda52’s Iron Man DPT Edition last week, decided it was time to unleash the beast.

He jumped into the 7:30 PM The Endeavour Lite like a kid in a candy store, ready to feast on a field of 711 entries (406 unique). He put on a clinic for over six and a half hours, leaving his opponents in the dust. Sure, he took a few hits early on, but this is ‘Nit2Donk’ we’re talking about. He reloaded with two bullets and proceeded to dismantle the competition, ultimately grabbing his first The Endeavour Lite trophy and a sweet ₹2.45 Lakhs to boot following a heads-up deal. This win skyrocketed him to #81 on PokerBaazi’s 2025 POY Leaderboard, further fueling his quest for the top spot.

While Ghosh was painting his masterpiece and claiming the title, another familiar face was stirring up the pot in The Endeavour Lite. Cholaraj ‘C11R’ G, hot off a podium finish in the BSS Kickoff, was hungry for his first title of 2025. This relentless grinder fought tooth and nail, navigating a sea of opponents to score a respectable runner-up finish and a solid ₹2.05 Lakhs, thanks to that heads-up deal.

The Endeavour Lite final table was a star-studded affair featuring a cast of poker heavyweights. We had last night’s Pocket Bullets champion Aditya ‘whoarewe’ Kulkarni (4th for ₹1.02 Lakhs), leaderboard legend Bhanu ‘Chennaino1’ Prakash KC (7th for ₹53,503), and last month`s MMA Main Event champion and recent Sunday Special Knockout podium finisher Arush ‘arush20000’ Pratap (8th for ₹39,283) all in the mix, making for a truly electrifying finale.

With the DPT Xpress series now over, the online fields are back in full force. With its ₹2,875 buy-in, The Endeavour Lite drew a packed crowd, generating a ₹17.77 Lakhs prize pool and crushing its ₹15 Lakhs guarantee. With 111 players cashing, each taking home at least ₹6,399, it was another night of big wins and happy players on India’s leading online poker platform.

Tuesday night on PokerBaazi was another scorcher, with a surprise hero emerging from the shadows. A relatively unknown player, ‘Krish1177,‘ a sporadic mid-stakes and satellite grinder who’s been quietly honing their skills on the platform since March 2018, pulled off a stunning coup in the ₹10 Lakhs GTD Big PLO-5, clinching their first-ever flagship win that left the pros reeling.

The 9 PM PLO showdown was a packed house, with 117 players (239 total entries) throwing their chips into the ring. Top pros and seasoned sharks were all hungry for the prize, but ‘Krish1177’ played a symphony of skill and grit, surviving a 6-hour and 12-minute slugfest to claim the crown after firing three bullets.

This victory was a glorious return to the top for ‘Krish1177’ after a nine-week hiatus since their Daily BOOST takedown on December 12. This wasn’t just a win; it was a personal best. ‘Krish1177’ pocketed a handsome ₹2.08 Lakhs, smashing their previous record of ₹1.11 Lakhs from a seventh-place finish in the NPS#145 Sunday Marathon last March. They practically wiped out 90% of their past losses on the platform in one fell swoop!

And the hot streak didn’t stop there! ‘Krish1177’ kept the momentum blazing, snagging second place in the late-night 1:30 AM marquee (7-Max) SPRINT for another ₹13,800, plus two other cashes. By the end of their Tuesday grind, they’d raked in nearly ₹2.39 Lakhs, proving their mastery of both NLHE and PLO.

Online stalwart Tarush ‘Busterr’ Gupta, who conquered PokerBaazi’s The Summit just a fortnight ago, also came charging for the Big PLO-5 title. He came this close to glory, finishing a respectable second for ₹1.71 Lakhs. Another deep run in The Endeavour Lite (47th for ₹7,999) saw him add over ₹1.79 Lakhs to his bankroll.

The Big PLO-5 final table was stacked with firepower! The current PokerBaazi 2025 POY leaderboard king, Rajneesh ‘msdhoni’ Thakur (4th for ₹86,251), last week’s Pocket Rockets finalist Vikhyat ‘supersaiyan57’ Ahlawat (5th for ₹51,959), and recent The Big Show finalist Pranay ‘5pranay’ Chaudhry (6th for ₹41,567) were all in the mix, making for a truly electrifying finish.

With a ₹5,000 buy-in, the Big PLO-5 pulled in a massive crowd, generating a guarantee-crushing ₹10.39 Lakhs prize pool. The top 33 players earned a share of the spoils, with payouts starting at ₹9,353. This PLO flagship delivered yet again, serving up a feast of high-stakes drama for the PLO faithful.

Siddhanth ‘Bullzeye’ Kapoor, a man of many talents, has just dealt a knockout blow to his title drought. Weeks after a near miss in The Pride and a tantalising glimpse of victory in the Daily Last Chance earlier this January, Kapoor has finally broken the seven-month curse, conquering PokerBaazi`s ₹10 Lakhs GTD Daily Last Chance in a display of pure poker prowess.

Kapoor, whose upcoming Netflix series Mandala Murders is generating serious buzz, might not be a constant presence at the tables, but he knows how to play the game. He sliced and diced his way through a field of 343 players (580 total entries) in the 10:30 PM late-night showdown. After six and a half hours of intense poker, a battle that stretched into the wee hours, Kapoor emerged with the crown, pocketing ₹1.49 Lakhs after a heads-up deal. It’s not a bad haul for a night’s work, and it’s his best score of the year so far. And as if that wasn’t enough, the DJ-actor-poker pro also made a deep run in The Endeavour, pushing his total for the day to almost ₹1.61 Lakhs!

Dhruv ‘chumbakman’ Singh, a former The Endeavour Lite runner-up who’s been grinding since September 2021, was also chasing glory in the Daily Last Chance. A four-time (7-Max) SPRINT champion (with a recent victory on February 1), Singh was eyeing his third title of the year. While he fell short of the top spot, his second-place finish and ₹1.69 Lakhs payday (from the same heads-up deal) marked his second-best score on PokerBaazi, bringing him close to recouping all his past PokerBaazi losses.

Others who left their mark on the Daily Last Chance final table included former IOPC 15.0 – The Crown champion Utkarsh ‘utkarshvaish9’ Vaish (5th for ₹60,902), Sameer ‘Hakunamatata11’ Sharma (6th for ₹50,185), IPM#32 Big Super Stack runner-up Ashwath ‘ashcashsmash’ Harikumar (7th for ₹39,719) and PokerStars India ambassador Goonjan ‘gmtesting’ Mall (6th for ₹29,379).

The ₹2,500 buy-in Daily Last Chance was an all-out value proposition! The prize pool exploded to a massive ₹12.61 Lakhs, obliterating the guarantee by ₹2.61 Lakhs. The top 94 players walked away with at least ₹5,044 (more than double the buy-in), ensuring that the action on PokerBaazi raged on well into Wednesday morning.

Prince ‘pranavcr07’ Singh, a name that’s been echoing through the online poker scene for years, is on fire! This long-time grinder has been crushing it lately, a testament to his dedication and ever-growing skill. He’s been on a steady upswing since he joined the exclusive club of Baazi Millionaires on PokerBaazi last June, consistently proving his dominance in NLHE and PLO.

Fresh off a second-place finish in PokerBaazi’s WTF a fortnight ago and a red-hot Monday performance (including a final table appearance in Pocket52’s Pocket Jacks and a victory in the PLO-5 Boost), Singh stormed onto Adda52 last night and conquered the ₹12 Lakhs GTD The Mint DPT Edition, adding a handsome ₹2.03 Lakhs to his bankroll after a heads-up deal.

Singh, best known for his near-miss in PPL#31 The MoneyMaker in 2018, outlasted a field of 270 entries (134 unique) in the 8 PM flagship event to capture his first-ever The Mint title and his biggest score on Adda52 this year (his second-biggest overall on the platform, just behind his impressive ₹3.91 Lakhs Maverick victory last November)!

Singh wasn’t content with just one deep run. Even before this win, he had already made a splash in PokerBaazi’s Big PLO-5, narrowly missing the final table but still adding a respectable ₹20,783 to his winnings in ninth place, wrapped up his Tuesday grind with a cool ₹2.24 Lakhs overall!

Prince Singh’s online stats (excluding Natural8 India, Junglee Poker and Pocket52): Lifetime Winnings: ₹3.28 Crores | Lifetime Profits: ₹92.59 Lakhs | Titles Won in 2025: #5

Meanwhile, Kashish ‘Fletcher03’ Gupta (opted out of our tracking), the #28 The MoneyMaker champion who recently shipped PokerBaazi’s The Quest Lite, almost pulled off a back-to-back victory on Adda52 after his Friday triumph in The Ballers DPT Edition. This Uttar Pradesh-based grinder fell just short of taking down The Mint DPT Edition but still walked away with a handsome ₹1.99 Lakhs thanks to that heads-up deal.

And if that was not enough, Gupta also notched deep runs in PokerBaazi’s The Endeavour (106th for ₹11,500) and Daily Last Chance (31st for ₹6,682), racking up at least ₹2.18 Lakhs for the day.

The Mint DPT Edition’s final table was packed with familiar names, including Dhaval ‘faizal1506’ Doshi (4th for ₹93,484), Arjun ‘arjunraghani4444’ Raghani (5th for ₹69,096), last night’s Voyager DPT Edition finalist Suraj ‘Iamondrugs’ Bhan (6th for ₹51,071), and last week‘s WTF runner-up and The Ballers DPT Edition finalist, the 2024 POY #11 Neeraj ‘NeeruNJ’ Sattawat (7th for ₹37,747).

Even with the DPT Xpress series now over and online turnouts picking up, The Mint DPT Edition fell ₹2.15 Lakhs short of its guarantee, sweetening the pot for the top 39 finishers who each pocketed at least ₹10,267—more than 2.4X the ₹4,200 buy-in. It was a night of big scores and undeniable value on Adda52, especially for those who made deep runs.

Aditya ‘TimeLoop’ Kulkarni (opted out of our tracking), the Mumbai-based poker ace, is on a hot streak on practically every major platform! A familiar name in poker circles, Kulkarni seems to have a reserved spot at the final table these days, and his recent run is something to behold.

He kicked off the weekend with a pair of impressive finishes – a close second in Junglee Poker’s Friday Supernova and a strong sixth in Pocket52’s Pocket Highroller. While the rest of the weekend might have been quiet, he more than compensated by conquering Pocket52’s ₹8 Lakhs GTD Pocket Bullets last night. This wasn’t just another cash; it was a breakthrough, earning him a cool ₹1.88 Lakhs and his first flagship title on Pocket52 this year after an agonizing nine final table finishes!

Kulkarni’s path to victory in the 8 PM showdown wasn’t a cakewalk. He faced a formidable field of 241 entries (129 unique), and a couple of early setbacks meant he had to reload. But as they say, the third time’s the charm, and Kulkarni rode that final bullet all the way to the end of the over 7.5-hour grind, seizing the win that had been just out of reach.

Kulkarni’s Tuesday performance was even more impressive considering another near-win in PokerBaazi’s The Endeavour Lite, where he narrowly missed the podium, finishing fourth for ₹1.02 Lakhs. This deep run, combined with his Pocket Bullets victory, pushed his total Tuesday earnings to at least ₹2.90 Lakhs.

While Kulkarni was busy seizing the crown, his heads-up opponent, Arya ‘Merlion’ Dutta, also deserves a mention. Dutta, who had recently rediscovered his winning form with a victory in PokerBaazi’s WTF on Friday (his first in 3.5 months!), came dangerously close to another title. But it wasn’t meant to be, and he had to settle for second place and ₹1.32 Lakhs.

The Pocket Bullets final table was a who’s who of poker talent. Monday’s Pocket Jacks champion, Young Gun Arsh ‘BigggTymeR’ Grover, was looking to make it two in a row but fell just short, finishing third for ₹84,960. Also in the mix were recent The Big Show runner-up Pratik ‘GorillaGlue’ Manjrekar (4th for ₹62,880) and last night’s Midnight SPRINT champion Janish ‘janish1998’ Jain (6th for ₹37,760).

Adding a twist to the story, the ₹3,300 buy-in Pocket Bullets had a ₹1.08 Lakhs overlay, making it an even sweeter deal for the players. The action was intense, with the top 27 finishers guaranteed at least ₹6,640—more than double the buy-in. This is shaping to be an epic month on India’s only cryptographically secured poker network, and the drama is just beginning.
