Daily Majors: Vikram Mishra, Sanat Mehrotra, Samyak Sethi & Gaurav Sood Crush the Tuesday Flagships

Like Monday, the Tuesday online poker scene was dominated by the PokerBaazi-hosted National Poker Series India 2023. The IndiaPlays Bounty Championship, on the other hand, provided an accessible opportunity for micro and low-stakes players to participate in affordable bounty tournaments.

The online turnouts will likely take a significant hit this entire week as the WPT Prime India commences its fourth edition at the floating Casino Deltin Royale today. The international tour returns to India after an almost four-year gap, and the excitement among the tournament crowd is palpable, with most of the regs already in Goa to win one of the 13 WPT trophies up for grabs.

Speaking of the Tuesday chartbusters, Vikram Mishra had the best run yesterday. He won both a gold and silver medal for the second time in just five days, netting ₹7.07 Lakhs overall. And getting him the NPS medals were his top finishes in PokerBaazi’s NPS#74 (PLO-5) HighRoller (1st for ₹6.28 Lakhs) and NPS#72 (4-Max) Hyper SPRINT (2nd for ₹76,786), pushing him to #2 on the NPS Podium and #16 on the NPS Series leaderboard.

Last week’s NPS#46 Mega Rally runner-up finisher Abilash Bala (2nd for ₹4.17 Lakhs) and Sunday’s NPS#63 (PLO-6) SPRINT runner-up finisher Dinesh Singh (3rd for ₹3.24 Lakhs) picked up their second NPS medals on the NPS#74 (PLO-5) HighRoller podium.

Young Gun Sanat Mehrotra was another Tuesday trailblazer. He won two flagship tournaments, bagging away over ₹6.59 Lakhs. The IIT-IIM alumni took down Adda52’s The Mint (₹3.47 Lakhs) and Spartan Poker’s Mega Stack (₹3.07 Lakhs) just 15 minutes apart. He struck a heads-up deal in Mega Stack with Monday’s NPS#70 SPRINT silver medallist Venkatesh Mukundan (2nd for ₹2.95 Lakhs).

Upcoming pro Samyak Sethi won his first NPS gold medal in PokerBaazi’s NPS#75 SPRINT for ₹2.95 Lakhs. Surbhit Grover (2nd for ₹1.81 Lakhs) picked up his first NPS medal, even as the first-ever Game Changer champion Prashanth Sekar (3rd for ₹1.47 Lakhs) grabbed his third in the 8:30 PM tournament.

‘roshan789’ (Won NPS #76 Megadive for ₹2.36 Lakhs), Anurag Bamba (Won NPS#71 Slamdunk for ₹1.73 Lakhs), Pocket52’s Pocket Brunch winner Prabhat Kumar (Won NPS#72 4-Max Hyper SPRINT), and ‘TheBrunson’ (Won NPS#73 Deepdive for ₹95,563) bagged the other NPS gold medals on Tuesday.

The #2 player of the year Young Gun Gaurav Sood, covered some distance on the POY race frontrunner Ashish Munot by locking in ₹2.64 Lakhs from two deep runs. He notably shipped PokerStars India’s Bounty Builder HR for ₹2.39 Lakhs (₹1.13 Lakhs in bounties). Haider Madraswala pocketed ₹1.68 Lakhs (₹41,234 in bounties) in second place.

Nitin Arora, Vikram Ved Batra, Yash Jaiswal, Mahima Walia Das, and Ambika Chowdhury won the other Tuesday marquees.
