It`s been a busy time for online poker, but India Poker Championship`s Final Table Series 6.0 has been the biggest money churner for the regs. The big-ticket series that plays down to a grand finale tonight left behind a trail of breakout winners this week, shaking up the online leaderboard rankings.

Ashish Munot (annual winnings – ₹1.82 Crores) was waiting in the wings, ranked #4 on the yearly leaderboard last week, and a jaw-dropping ₹46.06 Lakhs score in Spartan Poker`s FTS #46 Super High Roller on Friday catapulted him right on top of the annual and weekly charts. He fell just whiskers short of grabbing pole position on the monthly standings.

Munot`s Friday onslaught displaced the two-time POY, Gaurav Sood (annual winnings – ₹1.65 Crores), to #2 in the annual rankings, with Arsh Grover (annual winnings – ₹1.59 Crores) sliding to #3.

Last week’s thundering performance has kept Laksh Pal Singh (monthly winnings – ₹63.19 Lakhs) in pole position on the March leaderboard, although Munot (monthly winnings – ₹62.71 Lakhs) is a not-so-distant second. The #3 ranked player last week, Srihari Bang (monthly winnings – ₹58.28 Lakhs), sits a close #3.

Trailing Ashish Munot (weekly winnings – ₹52.94 Lakhs) on the weekly charts are Abhinav Iyer (weekly winnings – ₹42.37 Lahks) and Aditya Agarwal (weekly winnings – ₹39.14 Lakhs) at #2 and #3, respectively.

The winningest player on our tracked database, Gaurav Sood, has always been a late bloomer when it came to getting into the POY race – a trend we have seen both times he won the POY title.

He made early inroads this year, but it’s been a to-and-fro battle for the top position. Sood, currently attending WPT Prime Cambodia, banked his top score this week in Spartan Poker’s FTS #35 Wednesday Grande (2nd for ₹10.91 Lakhs). However, it wasn’t enough to contain Munot, and the Young Gun has slipped to #2 in the rankings after two weeks of dominating the annual charts.
