Ever since India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the 21-day nationwide lockdown on March 24, online tournaments have seen a significant spike in attendance. Throughout the week, almost all the flagships comfortably crushed their advertised guarantees, prompting poker sites to come up with bigger guaranteed tourneys to cater to the increased demand!

This past Sunday turned out to be a particularly life-changing one for Saurabh Rohila. The Bengaluru resident, not only won his career-first online title, but he happened to do so in one of the biggest tournaments in the country, Spartan Poker’s SSS#61 Millionaire ₹1 Crore GTD. His outright victory fetched him a handsome ₹23.46 Lakhs. In fact, he also finished runner-up in SSS#63 Electric Big Daddy ₹10 Lakhs GTD the same day for ₹1.52 Lakhs, taking his cumulative winnings on Sunday to a staggering ₹24.96 Lakhs! Predictably, he sits in the pole position of this week’s online rankings.

PokerGuru Ambassador Faiz Alam had trailblazed to the top of the weekly and monthly online rankings last week. His ₹50 Lakhs score from last week has helped him retain his spot at the top of the monthly leaderboard.
