Online Rankings: Tarush Gupta’s Trailblazing Run Lands Him the #1 Position on the Weekly & Monthly Rankings

In this feature, we bring you to the top three weekly, monthly, and yearly performers every Sunday. These rankings are based on cumulative winnings (cashes). However, the rankings only include players registered to our online ranking system, so hurry up and register if you haven’t signed up on PokerGuru yet!

Mid-way into January, the leaderboards have already begun seeing some action. Since we are still in the first month of 2023, this online leaderboard update only includes the weekly and monthly rankings.

Speaking of the weekly and monthly leaderboards, one name stood out among the rest. And that is Tarush Gupta (monthly winnings – ₹29.76 Lakhs; weekly winnings – ₹23.04 Lakhs). Since the young pro is opted out of our tracking, we have had to manually assimilate his scores, and he made us work overtime by topping the weekly and monthly rankings! Gupta`s phenomenal run this week saw him winning Adda52’s Big Game and Spartan Poker’s The Elite and securing a runner-up finish in Adda52’s Maverick, giving him a nice leg up in the POY race.

2023`s first The MoneyMaker champion, Himanshu Arora (monthly winnings – ₹29.70 Lakhs), last week’s leaderboard topper, was poised to retain his top position but got edged out by Gupta by a very narrow margin, dropping to #2 on the January leaderboard.

WSOP bracelet winner Aditya Sushant‘s (weekly winnings – ₹21.86 Lakhs) chartbuster Friday performance saw him netting ₹10.49 Lakhs in one swoop. He championed Adda52’s The Ballers and PokerBaazi’s The Weekly HighRoller, securing the #2 rank on the weekly charts.

Vishal Bajaj‘s (monthly winnings – ₹27.92 Lakhs; weekly winnings – ₹16.60 Lakhs) firecracker run saw him break into the top three monthly and weekly rankings.

The competition in the 2023 POY race is already heating up with the likes of the 2022 POY topper, Young Gun Anuj Yadav, and the two-time POY winner, Young Gun Gaurav Sood, sitting at #3 and #4 on the January leaderboard.
