Anant Purohit Pulls Out a Sunday Blitzkrieg, Climbs to #5 in POY Rankings With a Jaw-Dropping ₹51.84 Lakhs Victory on Natural8 India

The virtual poker tables were on fire this weekend, with high-stakes tournaments lighting up every major online platform. While some Indian pros were busy making waves in Asian stops like USOP Hai Phong and the Manila Megastacks 19, back home, the online action was just as intense! Natural8 India’s high-stakes MTTs, PokerBaazi’s 10th Anniversary specials, and the grand finale of Adda52’s Masterminds Arena kept the online excitement at full throttle!

The star of the night was Anant Purohit. This poker powerhouse, who’s been crushing it on Natural8 India since he joined last month, continued his reign of terror this Sunday. In the high-octane Bounty Hunters Sunday Big Game 215, he steamrolled through a massive field of 3,026 entries, taking home a mind-blowing ₹51.84 Lakhs, with ₹22.90 Lakhs coming from bounties alone. This incredible victory marks his second-best score on the platform and his fourth seven-figure score on Natural8 India in just four weeks! With his annual earnings now at a staggering ₹3.22 Crores, Purohit is firmly cementing his place as one of India’s top poker players and is hot on the heels of Satyam Verma for the #4 spot in the Player of the Year race.

Another Natural8 India player, the enigmatic ‘Ouroboros_09,‘ made a spectacular debut, finishing an impressive seventh in the Bounty Hunters HR Main Event 525 and raking in a massive ₹36.12 Lakhs. That’s the second-highest score of the day, only surpassed by the unstoppable Purohit!

Over on PokerBaazi, Mohsin Shaikh was the man of the hour. Fresh off his victory with the Deccan Aces at the Pocket52 PSL Season 6, Shaikh kept the party going by winning his first-ever The MoneyMaker bracelet and a career-best ₹10 Lakhs. He didn’t stop there, though, racking up a whopping ₹10.68 Lakhs with three other deep runs, including two final table finishes. Rising Star Aman Parakh also had a stellar Sunday. He finished a close second to Shaikh in The MoneyMaker 85.0, earning the same ₹10 Lakhs thanks to PokerBaazi’s Anniversary special payouts. Parakh continued his hot streak with impressive finishes in four other events, bringing his total Sunday winnings to ₹10.59 Lakhs.

The grand finale of Adda52’s MasterMinds Arena was a night of upsets and triumphs. Nitu Kumari, a dedicated grinder, finally achieved a major breakthrough, clinching her first-ever title on the platform in the prestigious MMA Main Event. This victory not only marked a significant milestone but also netted her a career-high ₹7.56 Lakhs. Raman Dixit also had a breakout performance, finishing in second place and earning a solid ₹5.44 Lakhs.

Meanwhile, Raghav Ananth lit up Natural8 India’s Sunday Mini Marathon 30, snagging a fabulous third-place finish and pocketing ₹7.10 Lakhs.

Tarun Goyal, India’s latest WSOP bracelet winner and current POY #2, continued his hot streak on Natural8 India. He put up strong performances in WSOP Online Event #27: Mystery Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha 1050 (40th for ₹4.86 Lakhs) and Sunday GIANT 365 (47th for ₹1.46 Lakhs), raking in a total of ₹6.32 Lakhs for the day. This brings his annual earnings to a mind-blowing ₹4.30 Crores, bringing him closer to Young Gun Neel Joshi in the race for the POY crown.

The excitement continued on PokerBaazi as Nitin Rawat, fresh off breaking his title drought, kept the momentum going by clinching his second title in the BSS SuperStack for a stunning ₹6.93 Lakhs after a heads-up deal. Rawat also made deep runs in two other tournaments, accumulating total Sunday winnings of ₹8.14 Lakhs. Shobhit Jaju, the IPM#56 Monsterstack winner, also had a fantastic showing, finishing a close second in the BSS SuperStack with ₹6.14 Lakhs and accumulating a total of ₹6.25 Lakhs for the day.

PokerBaazi also saw other notable winners shine on Sunday, including Dhaval Doshi (Won BSS Super Value for ₹2.83 Lakhs), ‘Noteling’ (Won Daily Last Chance for ₹1.58 Lakhs), Aditya Kulkarni (Won (6-Max) BSS SPRINT for ₹1.38 Lakhs), and Uttam Gope (Won BSS Kickoff for ₹1.04 Lakhs).

Meanwhile, on Adda52, Young Gun Devang Yadav continued his unstoppable streak. Fresh off his double-header win in The Ballers and The Quest Lite on Friday, Yadav, a two-time The Millionaire champion and The MoneyMaker 76.0 winner, dominated the Adda52 Millions, scooping up ₹5.79 Lakhs for the win and bringing his total Sunday earnings to ₹5.84 Lakhs. Not to be outdone, POY #4 Satyam Verma clinched the runner-up spot, bagging ₹4.27 Lakhs and wrapping up his day with a total of ₹4.90 Lakhs.

Sahil Chutani, the two-time IOPC Legends champion and 2022’s most profitable online MTT player, also made his mark, winning Adda52`s Sunday Head Hunter for ₹5.16 Lakhs, including ₹3.01 Lakhs in bounties. Siddharth Gangwa made a grand return after a break, securing second place with ₹1.93 Lakhs and raking in ₹2.18 Lakhs for the day.

Over on Junglee Poker, Young Gun Karan Radia, famed for his championship run in The MoneyMaker 43.0 and his recent Maverick victory, continued his winning ways by taking down the Sunday Special Knockout for ₹2.89 Lakhs. The runner-up, ‘happypunter,’ who also boasts a podium finish in the Azadi Series Main Event, earned ₹1.54 Lakhs.

PokerBaazi’s 10th Anniversary party is still going strong, and this Sunday brought another thrilling highlight—the fourth anniversary special, the ₹1 Crore GTD The MoneyMaker!

The MoneyMaker 85.0 kicked off at 6 PM, drawing a crowd of 933 entries (569 unique). Among the hopefuls was seasoned player Mohsin ‘gongo’ Shaikh, who’d been on a roll lately, playing his part in the victory of the Deccan Aces at the Pocket52 PSL Season 6 and making multiple deep runs and six final tables since his win in Adda52’s Voyager in July. But what he really craved was another online title.

And boy, did he deliver! Shaikh came locked and loaded in The MoneyMaker 85.0, India’s longest-running single-flight ₹1 Crore GTD tournament. After nearly nine hours of intense poker action, he snagged his first-ever The MoneyMaker bracelet and a jaw-dropping ₹10 Lakhs top prize—his career-best and over 5X his previous best score on PokerBaazi!

Shaikh’s success didn’t end there. He finished eighth in Pocket52’s Pocket Kings for ₹26,582, narrowly missed a final table finish in Adda52’s MMA Main Event, taking 11th for ₹38,851, and bagged another cash in the MMA PKO 6-Max, finishing 33rd for ₹2,926. By night’s end, Shaikh had raked in a whopping ₹10.68 Lakhs!

While Shaikh reigned supreme as The MoneyMaker 85.0 champion, he wasn’t the only millionaire to emerge from the mega tournament. Rising Star Aman ‘KarmaPoker’ Parakh, an online crusher with the dubious reputation of winning the India Turbo Masters Main Event back-to-back, was zoned in on winning The MoneyMaker bracelet!

Parakh, the #15 The MoneyMaker podium finisher, fought tooth and nail in The MoneyMaker 85.0. Although he fell short of the title, finishing as the runner-up, he still walked away with the same ₹10 Lakhs prize thanks to PokerBaazi’s adjusted payouts. Parakh’s performance and four other cashes throughout the day brought his total Sunday winnings to a scorching ₹10.59 Lakhs, solidifying his position among the top ten in September’s leaderboard rankings.

Another online pro who had a fantastic Sunday was Bharat ‘Thinkfloyd’ Vasan. Fresh off a seventh-place finish in last week’s The Mint, this Indian Poker Masters leaderboard crusher banked ₹4.11 Lakhs from five cashes, including a seventh-place finish in both PokerBaazi’s The MoneyMaker and Adda52’s Sunday Head Hunter.

The final table of The MoneyMaker 85.0 was brimming with seasoned regulars and other hungry contenders, including Umang ‘dejavupoker’ Kedia (3rd for a personal-best ₹7.04 Lakhs), IPM#14 (6-Max) Hyper and IPM#138 (5-Max) Big Hyper champ and the Kolkata Wizards wild card at Pocket 52 PSL Season 6 Vishal ‘Darky’ Ojha (5th for ₹4.94 Lakhs), and last week’s The Quest finalist Puneet ‘HEROCALLSBRO’ Sachan (8th for ₹2.11 Lakhs).

Plenty of familiar faces cashed in this massive event, including Mangu ‘Fishvsshark’ Bansal (9th for ₹1.36 Lakhs), Vikas ‘doublesuited’ Awal (12th for ₹93,000), Amar ‘PsykoEko’ Iyer (13th for ₹93,000), TLB leaderboard #2 Rajneesh ‘msdhoni’ Thakur (14th for ₹93,000), Ankit ‘d00mtr00p3r’ Wadhawan (15th for ₹93,000), Young Gun Arsh ‘Button_Hai_Bro’ Grover (16th for ₹93,000), Shivakumar ‘Shivack’ Channappa (17th for ₹93,000), Aditya ‘adi1108’ Sharma (19th for ₹54,000), and Sahaj ‘pandit12’ Tambi (20th for ₹54,000).

The MoneyMaker 85.0 was already a magnet for players with its massive eight-figure guaranteed prize pool and ₹11,500 buy-in. But when a ₹6.70 Lakhs overlay was added to the mix, it became even more irresistible! This overlay meant even better value, leading to some seriously sweet payouts.

The 153 players who made it into the money were guaranteed at least ₹21,000 – that’s almost double their buy-in! For the top contenders, this meant a chance to boost their bankrolls significantly. And for some lucky players, it was a chance at a life-changing score!

In the end, he struck a heads-up deal and walked away with a whopping ₹6.93 Lakhs – the second-largest score of his career.

Rawat crushed it in two more tournaments, posting final table finishes in Adda52’s Sunday Head Hunter and the MMA Highroller. By the time the dust settled, he’d raked in a remarkable ₹8.14 Lakhs in total winnings, his best single-day winnings for the year!

With a ₹5,750 buy-in, the BSS SuperStack was a smash hit. It boasted a jaw-dropping ₹52.30 Lakhs prize pool—crushing its advertised guarantee. The top 152 players got a piece of the pie, with even a min-cash worth a sweet ₹9,414. That’s what we call a thrilling Sunday!

A few weeks after his impressive runner-up finish in The MoneyMaker 82.0, Doshi made quite the mark in the 5 PM Sunday flagship event.

After an intense 8.5-hour battle, he clinched his first-ever BSS Super Value title and a sweet ₹2.83 Lakhs top prize, thanks to a well-played three-way deal.

‘Bonomo’ (anonymity requested), known for their podium finish in the IPM#57 Big Value in August, came oh-so-close to snatching the BSS Super Value title. Even though they finished as the runner-up, they still walked away with a substantial ₹2.63 Lakhs thanks to that three-way deal. And their hunger for victory didn’t end there – they narrowly missed the final table of The MoneyMaker 85.0, finishing in 10th place for ₹1.36 Lakhs. Add in another score in the BSS SuperStack (103rd for ₹12,029), and ‘Bonomo’ ended their Sunday with at least ₹4.11 Lakhs in total winnings.

The third-place finisher in the BSS Super Value was ‘bouncyAnte,‘ a PokerBaazi regular who’s been making a name for themself since November 2022.

Even though it fell a nominal ₹25,988 short of its advertised guarantee, the ₹2,500 buy-in BSS Super Value was a rewarding experience for the 142 players who made it into the money. With a minimum payout of ₹5,250 – more than double the buy-in – it was a Sunday filled with excitement and big wins on PokerBaazi!

The man, the myth, the legend — Young Gun Karan ‘The Annihilator’ Radia has done it again! Famed for his championship run in The MoneyMaker 43.0, his NPS#99 Mini Main Event bronze medallist, who made a stunning fifth-place finish in last month’s IPM#157 Main Event, is no stranger to the spotlight. After winning Adda52`s Maverick last week, this Delhi-based poker sensation again struck gold, this time in Junglee Poker’s ₹15 Lakhs GTD Sunday Special Knockout, proving that he’s the real deal.

Radia’s performance was simply jaw-dropping. He battled through a field of 341 fierce competitors in the 8 PM KO flagship event, going on an absolute bounty-hunting rampage for over 8.5 hours. When the dust finally settled, Radia was the last man standing, taking home a massive ₹2.89 Lakhs payday, with a mind-blowing ₹1.75 Lakhs of that coming from bounties alone! This win marks his second flagship title in just four days, solidifying his position as one of the hottest players in the game.

But the competition didn’t roll over and play dead. ‘happypunter,’ who had an impressive third-place finish in the AS#92 Main Event, gave Radia a serious run for his money. They might have fallen short of the top spot, but they still walked away with a respectable ₹1.54 Lakhs (₹40,215 in bounties) in second place.

Poker streamer Shobhit ‘krungthep’ Bhargava also made his mark, snagging third place for ₹1.29 Lakhs (₹46,250 in bounties). Bhargava streamed the whole thing live on his YouTube channel, so if you want to see the action unfold, be sure to check out the replay on his channel!

Meanwhile, Gopal ‘bigslick’ Bajaj, the wildcard pick for the Kolkata Wizards, the runner-up finishers in the Pocket52 Poker Sports League Season 6, continued to impress with three deep finishes across multiple platforms. He snagged two final table finishes, claiming fifth place in both Junglee Poker’s Sunday Special Knockout and Adda52’s MMA Highroller, raking in over ₹1.66 Lakhs for the day!

Adda52’s second edition of the ₹1.50+ Crores GTD Masterminds Arena wrapped up on Sunday, and it went out with a bang! With nine tournaments and over ₹72 Lakhs in guaranteed prizes, the grand finale was a poker showdown for the ages.

But amidst all the high-stakes action, one player’s story stood out. Nitu ‘DNA24’ Kumari, a sporadic grinder battling it out on Adda52 for over a year, finally had her breakthrough moment in just her 15th tournament. She clinched her first-ever title on the platform in the granddaddy of them all – the ₹50 Lakhs GTD MMA Main Event!

This was no ordinary victory. The MMA Main Event saw a whopping 2,805 entries (2,068 unique) across nine starting flights. By the time the Day 2 finale kicked off, 352 players were still in the hunt. After a nail-biting 5.5-hour battle, Kumari emerged victorious, taking home a life-changing ₹7.56 Lakhs – the biggest score of her poker career!

Nitu Kumari’s Adda52 stats: Site Winnings: ₹7.93 Lakhs | Site Profits: ₹7.85 Lakhs | Titles Won in 2024: #1

It wasn’t a cakewalk, though. Raman ‘RdxZap’ Dixit gave Kumari a serious run for her money, pushing hard for the top spot. But in the end, Kumari held her nerve and claimed the title. Dixit had to settle for a still-impressive second-place finish and a solid ₹5.44 Lakhs, narrowly missing out on his first title of the year.

Siddharth ‘sidpatni03’ Patni also had a night to remember. Building on his recent podium finish in the Holdem Classic, he scored a fantastic third-place finish in the MMA Main Event, earning a career-high ₹3.91 Lakhs. This turned around his past losses into a decent profit.

The MMA Main Event, with its ₹1,800 buy-in, was already a major draw, but a ₹7.93 Lakhs overlay made it even sweeter. With 287 spots paid, everyone who cashed got a little something, and even a min-cash earned a decent ₹5,740 – more than triple the buy-in!

Sahil ‘bluffme19’ Chutani, the two-time IOPC Legends champion and 2022’s most profitable online MTT player, is back on the prowl, and he’s not messing around. Even though he’s been laying low lately when Chutani hits the virtual tables, it’s like a lightning bolt striking the felt. Fresh off a recent win in the Adda52 Millions and a fourth-place finish in the same event last week, he’s clearly on a roll. Last night, he proved it once again by dominating Adda52’s ₹22 Lakhs GTD Sunday Head Hunter.

With 478 entries (266 unique players), this 8 PM bounty flagship was no walk in the park.

He came back swinging, giving Chutani a serious run for his money in the Sunday Head Hunter. Although he narrowly missed out on the top spot, Gangwar’s performance was spectacular, earning him a solid ₹1.93 Lakhs (₹35,195 in bounties) for his runner-up finish.
