The electrifying start to 2023 shows no signs of subsiding, with the biggest-ever India Online Poker Championship 14th Edition and PokerBaazi Classics keeping the online action in top gear through the third week of January.
Last week`s top scorer, Tarush Gupta (monthly winnings – ₹46.47 Lakhs), stuck to his sublime run by pulling in two standout scores and at least ₹29.76 Lakhs overall. His breakout has consolidated his January winnings to at least ₹46.47 Lakhs, keeping him put as the month`s top scorer.
Rallying hot behind Gupta is Himanshu Arora (monthly winnings – ₹44.42 Lakhs), who holds onto the #2 rank in the January standings for the second consecutive week on the back of a weekly tally of ₹14.71 Lakhs.
The biggest chartbuster of the week, Aniket Waghmare (monthly winnings – ₹41.41 Lakhs), takes up the #3 rank on the January leaderboard on the back of his super run!
Aniket Waghmare (weekly winnings – ₹34.76 Lakhs) was the star this week. Adding to his several top-notch poker feats, the two-time The Millionaire champion got to the job early by locking up ₹11.06 Lakhs last Sunday, most prominently shipping Spartan Poker`s Sunday Superstack. Waghmare went on an absolute heater on Friday as he captured Spartan Poker’s IOPC #14 High Roller for ₹20.23 Lakhs* (heads-up deal).
A title victory eluded last month’s Legend Poker Series Main Event champion Dhinesh Kumar (weekly winnings – ₹25.90 Lakhs). Still, a heads-up deal in IOPC #14 High Roller landed him the #2 spot on the weekly charts.
Sunday’s Top Liners runner-up and the Tuesday High Roller champion, Ashutosh Balodhi (weekly winnings – ₹20.90 Lakhs), rounds out the week`s top three scorers!
