Daily Majors: Wilson Yomso, JaiKiran, Suchit Save & Piyush Nanda Bring the Heat to the Post-Diwali Poker Party on Friday

The Diwali fireworks may have fizzled out, but the action on the online felts is running hot! While the 10th Anniversary celebrations on PokerBaazi have ended, the boosted guarantees and thrilling tournaments are still going strong. And with Junglee Poker’s ₹5+ Crores GTD Grand Poker Party heading towards its finale and Natural8 India consistency dishing out massive scores, the post-Diwali poker scene was electric!

Wilson Yomso, the stylish banker-turned-poker pro from Pasighat, led the charge on Friday night. After breaking a year-long title drought with a victory in PokerBaazi’s Blockbuster Lite last month, Yomso continued his winning ways by conquering The Quest for a massive ₹4.41 Lakhs after a heads-up deal, making him the day’s top scorer. Hot on his heels was Suchit Save, who finished as the runner-up for ₹3.99 Lakhs – his second-best score on the platform. Save made two more deep runs, bringing his total Friday winnings to over ₹4.05 Lakhs.

JaiKiran Kumar also had a Friday to remember, showing his incredible multi-tabling skills across platforms. He narrowly missed out on a title in PokerBaazi’s The Quest Lite, finishing as the runner-up for ₹1.40 Lakhs. He also jumped over to Natural8 India and snagged a podium finish in Forty Stack 44 for ₹2.39 Lakhs, then headed back to Junglee Poker to make a final table appearance in the GPP#41 Party Special for ₹27,345. Kumar racked up ₹4.06 Lakhs from these three solid finishes, making him the second-biggest winner of the day and bringing him closer to overtaking Mohak Kapoor at #12 in the Player of the Year standings.

Deepak Varma continued his recent winning streak on Adda52. Riding high on his victory in the Sunday Head Hunter DPT Edition and consecutive wins in the Nighttide DST Adda and Bounty Adda on Wednesday, he dominated The Ballers DPT Edition for ₹3.38 Lakhs. He also cashed in two other events, bringing his total for the day to ₹3.42 Lakhs. The formidable Ashish Munot came close to a third The Ballers title, finishing runner-up for ₹2.50 Lakhs.

Over at Junglee Poker, Piyush Nanda kept his hot streak alive by winning the GPP#41 Party Special for ₹3.29 Lakhs. He cashed in two more Grand Poker Party events, bringing his total for the day to over ₹3.33 Lakhs. ‘allahkapapa‘ also had a strong showing in the GPP#41 Party Special, finishing as the runner-up for ₹1.31 Lakhs.

Tushhaal Mittal, who’s been grinding satellites and mid-stakes MTTs since May 2021, broke a five-month dry spell by taking down PokerBaazi’s WTF for a career-best ₹2.02 Lakhs, moving firmly into profitable territory on the platform. Mystery player ‘tripacesontop‘ finished second for a personal-best ₹1.78 Lakhs, offsetting all past losses.

Kunal Chaudhary, a sporadic mid-to-high stakes grinder, ended an 11-month title drought with a victory in PokerBaazi’s The Quest Lite for ₹2.01 Lakhs – his second-best score of the year and third-best overall.

Back on PokerBaazi, Ashish Nailwal took down Daily Last Chance for an incredible third time this year, earning ₹1.61 Lakhs for his first win in six weeks. He also made a final table appearance in The Quest Lite, pushing his total winnings to over ₹1.99 Lakhs. ‘kibenchang‘ finished second in the Daily Last Chance for a personal-best ₹1.09 Lakhs and added another deep run to bring their total to ₹1.19 Lakhs.

The Diwali fireworks may have fizzled out, and PokerBaazi’s 10th Anniversary celebrations may be a fond memory, but the action on the virtual felts is still hotter than ever! Last night, Tushhaal ‘tushhaalm’ Mittal remerged from the shadows to claim a stunning victory in the ₹15 Lakhs GTD WTF. This sporadic site loyalist, who’s been grinding satellites and mid-stakes tournaments since May 2021, returned to the winner’s circle in dominating fashion, proving that he’s still got what it takes to crush the competition.

Mittal had been on a tough downswing since his last win in the WTF almost five months ago, but he came back with a vengeance. Facing a stacked field of 441 players (788 total entries) in this 7:30 PM flagship event, Mittal was clearly on a mission. He battled for nearly seven hours in a marathon session of skill and stamina, eventually claiming his second title of the year (again in the WTF) and a career-best ₹2.02 Lakhs in prize money. This win during the Diwali season catapulted him from almost break-even to firmly in profitable territory on PokerBaazi.

Tushhaal Mittal`s PokerBaazi stats: Site Winnings: ₹13.94 Lakhs | Site Profits: ₹2.15 Lakhs | Titles Won in 2024: #2

Hot on Mittal’s heels was the mystery player ‘tripacesontop’ (active since November 2019), who made a podium finish in Blockbuster in March and posted a deep run in the G.O.A.T. just last month. They were looking to add their maiden flagship title (third title of 2024) to their resume but finished a close second, pocketing a personal-high ₹1.78 Lakhs. This impressive score wiped out all their previous losses on the platform.

The 10th Anniversary party may be over, but the action on PokerBaazi is still exploding! Last night, Kunal ‘Vampire2706’ Chaudhary, a sporadic mid-to-high stakes grinder, emerged from an 11-month title drought to claim a stunning victory in the ₹12.50 Lakhs GTD The Quest Lite. This win marks a triumphant return for Chaudhary, who’s been a familiar face on the platform since May 2018.

Don’t let that title drought fool you. Chaudhary is a recreational player with serious skills, racking up over 20 final table appearances this year alone. He’s had some impressive results, including a podium finish in PokerBaazi’s (1000X) BSS Superstack in January, a silver medal in NPS#85 Deepdive in March, and another podium finish in the Daily Last Chance just this past Wednesday. But last night, he finally broke through, claiming his first title of the year and inching closer to the exclusive ₹1 Crore mark in tracked online winnings.

Chaudhary was an absolute beast in the 7:30 PM Friday flagship event, taking down a field of 415 total entrants (237 unique) in just over six hours. He navigated the field like a true champion and walked away with a hefty ₹2.01 Lakhs payday – his second-best score of the year and third-best overall.

JaiKiran ‘testify’ Kumar, the mid-to-high stakes crusher and February leaderboard topper, also had a strong showing in The Quest Lite. He came close to ending his own six-week title drought, ultimately finishing as the runner-up for a cool ₹1.40 Lakhs.

But as always, Kumar was a multi-tabling machine, crushing the competition across different platforms. He snagged a podium finish in Natural8 India’s Forty Stack 44 for ₹2.39 Lakhs and also stormed the final table in Junglee Poker’s GPP#41 Party Special. With these three explosive finishes, his total winnings for Friday reached a scorching ₹4.06 Lakhs, making him the second-highest scorer of the night.

The ₹2,875 buy-in The Quest Lite had a noticeable overlay of ₹2.13 Lakhs on its advertised ₹12.50 Lakhs guarantee, offering incredible value to the top 61 players who made the money line. Even those who min-cashed walked away with a cool ₹7,500, making it a sweet start to the weekend for many and keeping the post-Diwali celebrations going strong!

The Diwali fireworks may be a distant memory, but Ashish ‘Notoriouskonvict’ Nailwal lit up the online poker scene last night! This former The MoneyMaker runner-up just added another victory to his impressive resume by taking down PokerBaazi`s ₹10 Lakhs GTD Daily Last Chance for an incredible third time this year. This guy clearly has a knack for this late-night event, with previous wins in June and September!

Nailwal, the IPM#59 (5-Max) Hyper and IPM#29 (7-Max) Turbo champion, had a bit of a quiet October after his last win in The Summit (Double Ante) and a final table finish in the BSS Super Value in September. But last night, he stormed back to the top, ending a six-week title drought in style with this latest victory.

The 10:30 PM flagship event was absolutely packed, with 69 contenders (296 unique) all vying for the top prize. But Nailwal wasn’t fazed by the competition. He kept his cool and navigated the field with precision after firing two bullets, grabbing the ₹1.61 Lakhs top prize. This win got him one of his top ten scores on PokerBaazi and marks his ninth title this year! He also made a final table appearance in The Quest Lite, pushing his total winnings for the night to over ₹1.99 Lakhs.

After a final table appearance in this late-night event on Wednesday, ‘kibenchang’ returned with a vengeance, firing four bullets and coming close to victory. Though they came up short, they still earned a personal best ₹1.09 Lakhs as the runner-up – nearly four times their previous best score on PokerBaazi!

While the streets might be a little quieter after Diwali, the action on the virtual felts is still exploding! Deepak ‘Sambahadur’ Varma lit up Adda52 on Friday night, proving that the Diwali spirit of winning is still going strong. This guy has been crushing the small and mid-stakes MTTs on Adda52 lately, and he’s showing no signs of slowing down.

After his phenomenal win in Adda52’s Sunday Head Hunter DPT Edition, Varma powered through Wednesday with back-to-back triumphs in the Nighttide DST Adda and Bounty Adda. But he saved his best performance for Diwali weekend, taking down the ₹17 Lakhs GTD The Ballers DPT Edition for a sweet ₹3.38 Lakhs – just a whisker away from his career-high ₹3.64 Lakhs score from this past Sunday.

The 8 PM headliner was a marathon, lasting seven hours and 22 minutes. But Varma’s determination paid off as he clinched his first-ever The Ballers title – his whopping 34th win on Adda52 this year! He also finished 10th in The Ballers Lite (₹3,175) and 13th in the Bounty Adda (₹907), bringing his total winnings for the night to over ₹3.42 Lakhs.
