It’s been raining big scores on the domestic felts, and bringing the continuum for online players is PokerBaazi’s biggest-ever Asian Poker Tour (APT) India Online Series. After six months of competitive action, three Young Guns have pulled ahead to emerge as the frontrunners in the POY race.

No surprises here, for Young Gun Anuj Yadav completes an incredible 18 consecutive weeks as the #1 ranked player of the year. Yadav went on a two-day heater towards the end of the week, winning the Thursday High Roller and the APT #4 Friday Major back-to-back for ₹16.85 Lakhs. He now sits with an enviable ₹2.67 Crores in annual earnings and an equally handsome ₹1.42 Crores in net profits.

Arsh Grover, one of the recent arrivals at the 2022 WSOP, might have cut down his online volume while in Vegas, but the Young Gun is still holding on tightly to the #2 position in the annual charts with ₹2.32 Crores in aggregate winnings. Grover scored two breakout finishes this week (Big Game and Thursday High Roller), netting ₹12.71 Lakhs overall.

Once again, Sahil Chutani rounds out the top three names in the annual leaderboard standings. Like Grover, Chutani got to work early by taking down Spartan Poker`s Sunday Superstack. He sits with ₹2.18 Crores in yearly earnings and retains the tag of the most profitable player of 2022 with ₹1.51 Crores in net profits.

The POY race is still open, with several players vying to get on top. PokerGuru Ambassador Ashish Ahuja has kept a steady pace at #4 in the annual charts, but the IOPC June 2022 – The Crown champion Saurabh Rohila is closing in fast. The IIT Delhi alumnus stormed to #5 in the charts following the landmark victory last month and is less than 1 Lakh behind Ahuja.

We’re only three days into July; hence we will skip the monthly leaderboard rankings.

The #1 ranked player of the year, Anuj Yadav, also topped the weekly charts. Following Yadav in the weekly rankings is another well-known reg Shashank Jain, who added ₹16.43 Lakhs to his poker bankroll this week. Saurabh Rohila has kept his heater going even after IOPC and comes in at #3 in total winnings this week.

There’s no stopping this Young Gun who’s mastered the art of winning tournaments and looks hell-bent on repeating Gaurav Sood`s dominant run to the POY title.

We call him a top cash game reg, but Shashank Jain has, over time, proved his mettle in tournaments – and has many MTT accomplishments to back that claim.

On Wednesday, he did one better in Adda52’s Maverick, walking away with his third title of the year and a ₹3.90 Lakhs payday.
