Mohammad Azhar Champions ₹3 Crores GTD NPS Main Event For His 3rd NPS Gold Medal & Career-Defining ₹50.13 Lakhs!

What a performance! The first-ever NPS Main Event champion. The only player to win three NPS Gold Medals. The topper of the NPS Series Leaderboard and the NPS Podium. Won a whopping ₹72.35 Lakhs at the inaugural series. Mohammad Azhar, take a bow!

Before we talk more about Mohammad Azhar’s phenomenal exploits from yesterday, let’s just take a moment to look back at how successful the maiden run of the National Poker Series (NPS) has been. Running from June 13 to 27, the series registered 83,793 entries across 64 tournaments, making it India’s biggest field to date. The series ended up awarding 195 medals.

The BBA graduate from Jaipur National University, Mohammad Azhar, overshadowed everyone else on the virtual felts yesterday. And that’s saying something, considering there were multiple standout performers last night. From The Millionaire champion Rohan Bhasin to the Adda52 Colossus winner, PokerGuru Ambassador Kartik Ved, or Young Gun Gaurav Sood, who crossed ₹9 Crores in lifetime winnings to the Deepstack Madness champion Young Gun Kanchan Sharma. There were several milestones breached as well. However, Mohammad Azhar’s mind-boggling run in the NPS that saw him champion NPS Kick-Off, NPS#79 Friday Force, and finally, the NPS Main Event was one of the most captivating performances of the year. Deservingly, Azhar will be starting out with a 2X stack on the NPS ‘Night of Champions’ SnG on July 3.

The 23-year-old Azhar, who is about to embark on his CAT preparations, is a high-stakes cash game reg. Azhar revealed that while he is happy to win three NPS Gold Medals and be crowned the NPS Main Event champion, it was topping the NPS leaderboard that gave him greater joy.

In an interview with PokerGuru, Azhar went on to thank Shagun Jain. “ChandlerBing says, ‘I love you ‘sogani22′” are the exact words he wanted us to quote. He also went on to thank Raghav and Simran for being his eternal support.

While we are on the subject of the NPS, the other historic tournament that played down to a winner last night was the NPS Golden Rush. Vivek Bajaj triumphed over a record 18,849-strong entry field to pocket a ₹9.15 Lakhs payday.

Despite the closing day of the NPS hogging all the spotlight, Spartan Poker’s The Millionaire filled in a guarantee-busting 2,003 entries. The former FTS Challenger winner Rohan Bhasin captured his first-ever Millionaire title, netting a career-best ₹17.05 Lakhs.

However, the second edition of the Adda52 Colossus couldn’t escape the overlay avalanche, suffering a ₹11.57 Lakhs deficit on the back of 114 entries. PokerGuru Ambassador Kartik Ved won the Super High Roller for ₹20.67 Lakhs.

Guneet Kwatra (Won Spartan Poker’s Sunday Superstack for ₹8.02 Lakhs) Vishnu Khandelwal (Won PokerBaazi’s NPS#91 Sunday Marathon for ₹7.91 Lakhs), Vinayak Bajaj (Won Adda52’s Nano Main Event Finale for ₹4.55 Lakhs), Young Gun Kanchan Sharma (Won Adda52’s Deepstack Madness for ₹4.23 Lakhs), Goonjan Mall (Won Adda52’s Nano Highroller for ₹3.19 Lakhs), Dipankar Kaushal (Won PokerBaazi’s NPS#90 Slam Dunk for ₹2.91 Lakhs), Anurag Srivastava (Won PokerBaazi’s NPS#94 Sprint for ₹2.36 Lakhs) and Nishant Pandey (Won PokerStars India’s Big Bubble Rush for ₹64,784 ) were the other big Sunday winners.

Here are the Sunday highlights!

 

Spartan Poker

The final ₹1 Crore GTD The Millionaire of June collected 2,003 entries across five starting flights and, after two weeks of filling in overlays, finally surpassed its advertised guarantee by ₹15,000. The fight to the finish line was intense, with a final table packed with notables. In the end, the former FTS Challenger winner Rohan ‘The Sightseer’ Bhasin emerged as the victor, clinching his career-first Millionaire title and a personal-best ₹17.05 Lakhs!

 

Rohan Bhasin, who had won his first-ever NPS Gold Medal on June 15, locked horns with Sahil ‘Captain Falcon’ Mahboobani (runner-up for ₹9.58 Lakhs) en route to grabbing The Millionaire title.

 

PokerGuru Ambassador Nadeem ‘blindgame’ Basha (4th for ₹4.77 Lakhs), Young Gun Kanchan ‘Midge Maisel’ Sharma (5th for ₹4.52 Lakhs), Avneesh ‘IamAM’ Munjal (6th for ₹3.18 Lakhs), Kunal ‘NutsTodayBluffTomo’ Patni (7th for ₹2.56 Lakhs) and Young Gun Anmol ‘Anzzzzz’ Mehta (8th for ₹1.66 Lakhs) were among the known players to earn final table payouts in The Millionaire.

And even though The Millionaire managed to avoid an overlay, the ₹40 Lakhs GTD Sunday Superstack could not generate the same interest. With 396 contenders ponying up the ₹11,000 entry buy-in, the event experienced a ₹40,000 shortfall. The former Millionaire champion Guneet ‘GeeKay’ Kwatra outlasted Dhaval ‘ElegantlyWasted’ Mudgal (runner-up for ₹5.33 Lakhs) heads-up to collect a winner’s paycheque worth ₹8.02 Lakhs. Guneet Kwatra picked up three more ITM finishes to lock in ₹8.65 Lakhs in cumulative Sunday earnings, breaching the ₹5 Crores (₹5.02 Crores) milestone in online earnings.

 

His ITM finishes include:

> 1st in Spartan Poker’s Sunday Superstack for ₹7.96 Lakhs

> 106th in PokerBaazi’s NPS#93 NPS Main Event for ₹30,000

> 78th in Spartan Poker’s The Millionaire for ₹18,428

> 35th in Adda52’s Deepstack Madness for ₹11,000

The ₹9 Lakhs GTD Money Heist was shipped by the anonymous user ‘TheRealG’ for ₹1.73 Lakhs while Atishay ‘momstacos’ Samuel picked up a runner-up finish worth ₹1.09 Lakhs.

 

Spartan Poker’s OFC Fantasy Series also wrapped up proceedings yesterday with the ₹4 Lakhs GTD OFC Fantasy Series#9 Main Event announcing a champion in ‘HumbleGod’ for ₹1.10 Lakhs. The Millionaire third-place finisher ‘infinity_’ came second for ₹78,200.

‘CMPUNK2412’ (Won ₹1.15 Lakhs GTD OFC Fantasy Series#8 for ₹34,105) and ‘chiru1999’ (Won ₹75K GTD OFC Fantasy Series#7 for ₹21,863) were the other OFC Fantasy Series title winners on the final day of the series.

 

PokerBaazi

What a phenomenal series it was! The inaugural National Poker Series (NPS) closed out its record-shattering debut on Sunday with the ₹3 Crores GTD NPS Main Event playing down to a winner. And standing tall above everyone else was Mohammad ‘chandlerbing’ Azhar, who took down the Main Event title, winning his third NPS Gold Medal of the series.

 

The man from Rajasthan etched his name in the annals of poker history by becoming the first NPS Main Event champion, lapping up a life-altering ₹50.13 Lakhs top prize! But wait! That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Mohammad Azhar’s list of accomplishments for yesterday and the past few weeks is quite long. So, let’s get to them one by one.

Starting off with his overall performance in the series, Azhar participated in 59 events and cashed in 32 of them, raking in total winnings of ₹72.35 Lakhs at the series. He topped the NPS Series leaderboard with 13,817 points. Being the only player to win three NPS Gold Medals, he also topped the NPS podium with 30 points and bagged a Las Vegas package worth ₹10 Lakhs.

Coming to his breakout Sunday run, Azhar netted a ginormous ₹50.61 Lakhs in Sunday winnings on the back of five ITM finishes. He also placed second on the NPS Daily Series Leaderboard to bank an additional ₹45,000 in prize money.

His Sunday deep runs include:

> 1st in PokerBaazi’s NPS Main Event for ₹50,13,000

> 35th in PokerBaazi’s NPS#91 Sunday Marathon for ₹24,435

> 25th in Adda52’s Nano Highroller for ₹14,213

> 67th in PokerBaazi’s NPS#90 Slam Dunk for ₹6,076

> 63rd in PokerStars India’s Sunday Special for ₹3,750

Because of his spectacular performance in the NPS, Mohammad Azhar has now booked three seats at the NPS Night of Champions SNG and will start with a 2X stack on the table! He has also crossed the ₹1 Crore milestone in lifetime profits, with lifetime cashes worth ₹1.50 Crores. At the same time, he has pushed his lifetime winnings on PokerBaazi north of the ₹1 Crore-mark (₹1.20 Crores).

Now that we have, more or less, covered most of Azhar’s achievements, let’s take a look at the other FT finishers of the NPS Main Event. The 27-year-old Ashwani ‘Leokarma2609’ Vishwakarma placed second for a very impressive ₹33.21 Lakhs payday. Young Gun Gaurav ‘gaug17’ Sood (5th for ₹9.93 Lakhs) and Kumar ‘23offsuits’ Vatsal (6th for ₹7.95 Lakhs) were the other noteworthy names on the NPS Main Event FT.

 

Speaking of the NPS Main Event, the ₹5,500 entry buy-in event ended up gathering 5,947 entries from seven starting flights, overlaying ₹2.65 Lakhs. The top 783 players were assured a min-cash of ₹12,000.

The other historic event that crowned a champion yesterday was the ₹1 Crore GTD NPS Golden Rush. The ₹550 entry buy-in tourney registered a never-before-seen 18,849 entries through 15 starting flights. The tournament needed 20,000 entries to meet its eight-figure guarantee and, in the end, fell ₹5.75 Lakhs short of breaking even on what was a very tall target. A total of 2,098 players made it through to Day 2, but with PokerBaazi implementing the best-stack forward format, only 1,777 unique players entered Day 2. After several hours of intense play, the 34-year-old Vivek ‘V42V’ Bajaj shipped the epic event for ₹9.15 Lakhs paycheque. ‘Mr. Consistent,’ aka Kushagra ‘neha94’ Mehta, came second for ₹6.13 Lakhs.

 

The next marquee on the cards was the ₹30 Lakhs GTD NPS#91 Sunday Marathon.

Vishnu ‘violator’ Khandelwal trounced the 905-entry field to claim the lion’s share of the ₹45.25 Lakhs prize pool worth ₹7.91 Lakhs. Rohit ‘Executioner00’ Jinwal finished runner-up for ₹5.54 Lakhs.

 

The winner of the ₹10 Lakhs GTD NPS#90 Slam Dunk was a special one. The Delhi-based Golf professional Dipankar ‘dipankar29’ Kaushal rang in his birthday in style by winning an NPS Gold Medal and a ₹2.91 Lakhs payout. A heads-up deal saw the PokerBaazi reg ‘macchi’ take home a ₹3.54 Lakhs payday and the Silver Medal. PokerGuru Ambassador Vivek ‘Nutpeddling729’ Singh registered his second FT finish of the night and a Bronze Medal for ₹1.72 Lakhs.

 

Anurag ’13anurag’ Srivastava championed the ₹5 Lakhs GTD NPS#94 Sprint for ₹2.36 Lakhs.

PokerStars India

Knowing that it would be a blockbuster Sunday finale, PokerStars India dropped the Sunday Highroller, opting to run only the ₹15 Lakhs GTD Sunday Special Progressive KO. The event expectedly suffered a ₹95,000 overlay setback on the back of 281 entries. The mystery user ‘sumit1386’ took down the event for ₹2.71 Lakhs (includes ₹1.37 Lakhs in bounties), and Ayush ‘Kyanaamrakhu’ Garg finished runner-up for ₹2.08 Lakhs (includes ₹74,121 in bounties).

 

Replacing the Sunday Highroller this week was the Big Bubble Rush with a ₹3 Lakhs prize pool guarantee. Like the Sunday Special, the ₹1,375 entry buy-in event experienced a ₹75,000 overlay after registering 180 entries. Nishant ‘Balaark’ Pandey won the event for ₹64,784 (includes ₹29,424 in bounties), just as Wednesday’s Night on Stars champion Himanshu ‘himkat@stars’ Kataria placed second for ₹30,399 (includes ₹4,336 in bounties).

 

Ankit ‘magnum736’ Saurabh (Won ₹1.5 Lakhs GTD Ultrasonic for ₹33,809), Dev ‘quadkiller19’ Singh (Won ₹1.5 Lakhs GTD Sunday Storm for ₹28,984), ‘Phant0mLancer’ (Won ₹1 Lakh GTD Sunday Warm-up for ₹23,166), ‘tryasfuck’ (Won ₹75K GTD Sunday Supersonic for ₹18,219) and ‘trapcheckbluff’ (Won ₹40K GTD Deepstack for ₹12,411) were the other Sunday winners on PokerStars India.

 

 

Adda52

The ₹70 Lakhs GTD Adda52 Colossus headlined the site’s Sunday roster. The ₹55,000 entry buy-in Super High Roller registered 114 entrants (includes 39 re-entries) to post a massive ₹11.57 Lakhs overlay. PokerGuru Ambassador Kartik ‘Pegasus1505’ Ved has proved time and again that he one of the best MTT players in the country. The operations head at PokerGuru Staking, currently based in Goa, championed the second Adda52 Colossus claiming a jaw-dropping ₹20.67 Lakhs payday.

 

The former Millionaire winner raked in a total of five ITM finishes yesterday, adding ₹23.53 Lakhs to his ever-growing bankroll. As a result, Ved has now jumped up to rank #5 on the yearly rankings.

His ITM finishes include:

> 1st in Adda52 Colossus for ₹20,67,930

> 3rd in Adda52’s Deepstack Madness for ₹2,10,000

> 88th in Spartan Poker’s The Millionaire for ₹35,854

> 25th in Spartan Poker’s Sunday Superstack for ₹35,200

Kartik Ved’s PokerGuru Staking teammate and another former Millionaire winner, Vivek ‘Vivek94540’ Singh (runner-up for ₹13.77 Lakhs) and Poker Bootcamp India co-founder and poker coach Abhishek ‘pomfret1989’ Goindi (3rd for ₹9.17 Lakhs) rounded out the top three places on the payouts charts.

 

Speaking of incredible performances, our first and to date only female Young Gun, Kanchan ‘thandicoke’ Sharma, joined the list of elite Sunday winners when she took down the ₹20 Lakhs GTD Deepstack Madness for ₹4.23 Lakhs. The poker diva could have bagged back-to-back titles but narrowly missed out on clinching The Millionaire title, placing fifth instead. The NPS Gold Medal winner bested Bharat ‘rungooserun’ Vasan (runner-up for ₹3.72 Lakhs) in the heads-up play to capture the Deepstack Madness title. She also posted four more scores to reach a whopping ₹9.17 Lakhs in Sunday winnings, crossing ₹3 Crores in lifetime earnings.

 

Her Sunday scores include:

> 5th in Spartan Poker’s The Millionaire for ₹4,52,678* (cumulative)

> 1st in Adda52′ Deepstack Madness for ₹4,23,174

> 119th PokerBaazi’s in NPS Main Event for ₹24,000

Kanchan Sharma’s stats: Lifetime Winnings: ₹3.01 Crores|Lifetime Profits: ₹1.11 Crores

Adda52’s Nano Poker Series (NPS) also culminated last night, with the star attraction 25 Lakhs GTD Nano Main Event Finale finding a champion in Vinayak ‘bhai_on_mary_jane’ Bajaj. The online reg chopped the top prize heads-up with Karann ‘ICMsucks’ Dembla (runner-up for ₹4.21 Lakhs) to collect ₹4.55 Lakhs. Vinayak Bajaj now has ₹4.31 Crores in recorded online winnings.

 

For a second time in less than a week, Karann Dembla got past Young Gun Gaurav ‘gauravarod’ Sood to claim a bigger payout. The 2020 leaderboard topper had finished runner-up to Dembla in last Thursday’s Adda52 Godfather, and once again, he took hold of the third-place finish for ₹2.12 Lakhs in the Nano Main Event Finale.

 

The dentist-turned-poker pro delivered a breakout run after several weeks last night. Gaurav Sood banked over ₹13.59 Lakhs in Sunday winnings, becoming the first player on our tracked database to cross ₹9 Crores (₹9.01 Crores) in lifetime online earnings (across domestic sites). His brilliant performance also saw him slide into the #2 rank on the annual leaderboard.

It has indeed been a career-defining fortnight for Azhar, who was last seen picking up a live score at the 2019 Baazi Poker Tour (BPT) NLHE Kick-Off, where he placed eighth for ₹1.14 Lakhs. Azhar began the NPS with a bang, winning his first piece of NPS gold on June 16 when he championed the multi-flight NPS Kick-Off for ₹10.70 Lakhs. Just 10 days later, he took down his second win at the series, claiming the NPS #79 Friday Force for ₹7.07 Lakhs on June 25. Azhar final tabled two more NPS tourneys along the way before the grand finale, where he brought about the perfect ending to his run at the series with the Main Event victory!
