‘Shouryaanga,’ Kritarth Pant, Ram Kakkar & Tanay Kauntia Lead the Charge on a Blazing Sunday!

The first Sunday of April wasn’t just another day on the calendar; it was an explosion of poker action, setting the felts ablaze across every major platform! Natural8 India delivered its signature high-stakes excitement, producing some of the night’s biggest winners. Over on PokerBaazi, the Baazi Super Sunday (BSS) lineup had the virtual rails electric, while Adda52 rolled out its dependable schedule of popular tournaments, attracting hordes of seasoned grinders and ambitious up-and-comers. Adding extra intensity, Junglee Poker kept its massive ₹3.50+ Crores GTD Battle Ground series firing on all cylinders!

It was a particularly scorching Sunday on PokerBaazi, where every flagship event crushed its guarantee. This surge was undoubtedly helped by the site’s headline-grabbing TDS-free offer on the first three player cashouts this month—a smart move that clearly got players fired up, especially noticeable as all other platforms saw overlays.

Spearheading the Sunday winners list was Natural8 India powerhouse ‘Shouryaanga‘! Just days removed from winning the Daily Hyper Special 88 and placing third in the Daily Hyper 50, they jumped into the deep end of the Zodiac Goat High Roller. Slicing through a 619-entry field, ‘Shouryaanga’ battled to a runner-up finish, rewarded with a stunning ₹17.53 Lakhs. This massive score counts as their best result of 2025 and their second-largest cash ever on the platform, making them the undisputed top winner of the day.

Other notable scores lighting up the Natural8 India lobbies included:

> ‘MidasTouch307‘ conquered The Weekender Zodiac Big Bang, shipping it for a platform-best ₹7.15 Lakhs – their second title this year, boosting their 2025 earnings tally past ₹21 Lakhs.

> ‘Bryant_24,’ returning after a two-month break, won the Sunday Racer POWER HOUR 100 for ₹6.19 Lakhs, also their second title of 2025.

> ‘MahaMechi30’ made a smashing return after 7.5 months away, finishing 28th in the massive 22,783-entry Bounty Hunters Sunday Main Event 54 for ₹3.10 Lakhs.

> Ankit Bajaj, currently #3 on the 2025 POY leaderboard, added ₹2.50 Lakhs with a 17th-place finish in the GG Masters Bounty 320, pushing his online winnings for the year to ₹1.37 Crores.

Over at PokerBaazi, Delhi’s Kritarth Pant made Sunday his own! The poker dynamo conquered the BSS SuperStack for the third time overall and, astonishingly, the second time already this year! This commanding victory brought Pant a career-best ₹8.51 Lakhs. Adding four more deep runs saw Pant’s total Sunday earnings swell beyond ₹8.79 Lakhs, positioning him as the night’s second-biggest winner! Breathing down his neck was ‘Shravsmanth‘ (anonymity requested). Right after snapping a nearly year-long title drought with a Blockbuster win on Saturday, they almost went back-to-back, finishing runner-up in the BSS SuperStack for ₹5.22 Lakhs (their third-best site cash). A small additional score nudged their Sunday take-home over ₹5.26 Lakhs, capping off a fantastic weekend run.

Online beast Ram Kakkar (opted out of our tracking) emphatically announced his return to form after a six-week title drought. He took down Adda52’s Big Whale after agreeing to a heads-up deal, collecting a huge ₹7.56 Lakhs. With two more deep finishes added to his ledger, Kakkar’s combined earnings for the day reached ₹8.48 Lakhs, making him the third-highest earner overall. Nearly stealing the show was Tanay Kauntia, the top scorer from Pocket52 PSL Season 6 and a perennial online threat. Chasing his eighth title of 2025 and a second Big Whale win, Kauntia experienced that deja vu feeling, finishing second again in this event. However, the deal ensured he still bagged a very hefty ₹7.42 Lakhs, his second-best score ever on Adda52.

Goonjan Mall, the National Poker Champion showdown contender from West Bengal, kept his incredible post-NPS India 2025 momentum going. He conquered the Adda52 Millions for the third time, banking ₹4.97 Lakhs – his biggest Adda52 score this year and his fourth major title of 2025. Adding three more deep runs on the platform, Mall wrapped up his Sunday session with over ₹5.34 Lakhs in total earnings. The equally formidable ‘Ashwinvijay1399’ (anonymity requested) gave chase, finishing runner-up for a strong ₹3.68 Lakhs (their fourth-biggest Adda52 cash). ‘Ashwinvijay1399’ clearly had a heater going, adding deep runs in four other flagships (including fifth in PokerBaazi’s BSS SuperStack) and walking away with a handsome ₹6.34 Lakhs for their Sunday efforts.

PokerBaazi regular ‘AiDarwin‘ (anonymity requested) is keeping the heat on following a superb NPS India 2025 outing (two Gold, two Silver Medals, #2 on Maharashtra State Leaderboard). Showing that run was no fluke; they powered through last night’s BSS Super Value field to claim their fourth title of the year, along with a handsome ₹4.05 Lakhs! Amit Sharma put up a strong challenge but ended as the runner-up, still banking a solid ₹2.43 Lakhs for his efforts.

On Junglee Poker, the mystery player ‘d3ndynat1on‘ stormed through the BG#8 Sunday Special Knockout field, grabbing a site-best ₹3.17 Lakhs (₹1.67 Lakhs in bounties). Vinay Rajpal, still carrying momentum from his epic NPS India 2025 run (191 events played, four medals, #3 Series Leaderboard for ₹15 Lakhs), battled fiercely in the heads-up but finished second for ₹2.49 Lakhs (₹99,477 in bounties). An extra cash on PokerBaazi saw Rajpal’s Sunday earnings climb past ₹2.57 Lakhs.

It was truly a Sunday of champions, with several other top regulars claiming flagship victories, including Samyak Sethi (Won Adda52’s Sunday Head Hunter for ₹4.36 Lakhs), Myron Pereira (Won Junglee Poker’s BG#9 Sunday Special Highroller for ₹2.69 Lakhs), Mukesh Surana (Won PokerBaazi’s Daily Last Chance for ₹1.74 Lakhs & BSS for ₹43,080), Arjanveer Singh Chadha (Won PokerBaazi’s (6-Max) BSS SPRINT for ₹2 Lakhs), Aditya Kesharwani (Won Adda52’s Sunday Big Slick for ₹1.62 Lakhs).

Sunday also saw standout performances from Pratik ‘Magicpratik’ Manjrekar, Samay ‘SamaySinghModi’ Singh Modi (who impressively won two titles), and Kunal ‘callcheck’ Kain, who dominated other marquee events!

Here are the Sunday highlights!

The first Sunday of April cranked the temperature way up on PokerBaazi, bringing some serious heat to kickstart the summer season. After navigating some overlay waters on Saturday, Sunday was a tidal wave of success. Every single Baazi Super Sunday (BSS) flagship didn’t just float past its guarantee; they completely swamped it. The ongoing TDS-free offer for April withdrawals undoubtedly added fuel to the flames, particularly for the night’s centrepiece event, the ₹50 Lakhs GTD BSS SuperStack.

When the final hand played out on this digital battlefield, Delhi’s Kritarth ‘AgentJack’ Pant was the last player standing. Following an intense grind lasting nearly nine hours in the 7:30 PM BSS SuperStack, Pant skillfully navigated a densely packed 1,135-entry field (595 unique) to claim the title. This wasn’t just another notch on his belt; the victory came with a career-best ₹8.51 Lakhs payday, carved out from a prize pool that had swelled to a massive ₹56.75 Lakhs.

This victory wasn’t just a random stroke of luck for Pant; he’s been methodically putting the pieces together all year. He’d already conquered this same BSS SuperStack in January, nabbed a third-place finish in The Summit in February, and recently added an NPS Silver Medal to his collection. Just last Thursday, he was knocking on the door again with a runner-up finish in the Big PLO-5.

Last night felt like coming home for Pant, as he took down the BSS SuperStack title for a remarkable third time overall – and his second time just this year. His Sunday crusade wasn’t confined to a single tournament; racking up scores across five deep runs, Pant’s earnings for the day swelled to over ₹8.79 Lakhs. That remarkable figure made him the second-biggest winner of the night, only trailing Natural8 India’s ‘Shouryaanga,’ who had an incredible run in the Zodiac Goat HighRoller, finishing runner-up for a monster ₹17.53 Lakhs score!

Kritarth Pant’s online stats (PokerBaazi, Adda52 and Spartan Poker): Lifetime Winnings: ₹2.88 Crores | Lifetime Profits: ₹85.18 Lakhs | Titles Won in 2025: #2

Right on his tail was ‘Shravsmanth’ (anonymity requested), a player who’s undeniably hit a hot patch. Following a sequence of strong showings – like a podium finish in last week’s Big PLO-5 and final table runs in the NPS#85 Friday Deepstack and NPS#188 Sunday Marathon – they finally broke through on Saturday, taking down the Blockbuster after a heads-up deal for their first title in nearly a year.

This Rajasthan-based regular, who knows the sting of a close call after finishing second in the #29 The MoneyMaker last April, almost made it two headliner wins in two days. Firing three bullets in last night’s BSS SuperStack, they fought their way to a runner-up finish worth a hefty ₹5.22 Lakhs – their third-best score on the platform. Adding a small cash (92nd for ₹3,990) in the (6-Max) BSS SPRINT, their Sunday take climbed over the ₹5.26 Lakhs mark, proving their current hot streak is very real.

Shravsmanth’s PokerBaazi stats: Site Winnings: ₹1.17 Crores | Site Profits: ₹18.64 Lakhs | Titles Won in 2025: #1

The BSS SuperStack final table was a real shark tank, stacked with familiar names and tough competitors. Rohit ‘rocky9971’ Goel duked it out for a third-place payout worth ₹3.97 Lakhs. Ankush ‘Jonsnow84’ Aryan, carrying momentum from his Daily Last Chance win last week, kept his form sharp, finishing fourth for ₹2.97 Lakhs. ‘Ashwinvijay99’ (anonymity requested), who was also enjoying a stellar Sunday with a runner-up finish in the Adda52 Millions, placed fifth here, adding ₹2.36 Lakhs to his ledger. Rising Star Ritwik ‘Ritwikkhanna’ Khanna, champion of last month’s The Ballers, collected ₹1.42 Lakhs for seventh place, while Raghav ‘scambrahm’ Ananth, hot off a podium finish in the Sunday Head Hunter, grabbed ₹1.08 Lakhs for eighth place.

On a Sunday buzzing with high-energy poker across PokerBaazi, the BSS SuperStack, with its ₹5,750 buy-in, captured the spotlight. It generated a whopping ₹56.75 Lakhs prize pool, ensuring the top 169 players received a payout, with even the min-cash netting ₹9,648—nearly doubling the initial investment. The excitement lingering from the record-breaking NPS India 2025 is clearly still in the air, fuelling bigger fields and richer rewards.

Sunday night on PokerBaazi was pure fire, with all the Baazi Super Sunday (BSS) flagships smashing their guarantees, leaving the overlay stories for other sites. The spark also flew in the ₹10 Lakhs GTD (6-Max) BSS SPRINT, which boiled down to a heads-up duel between two certified heavyweights. When the digital dust settled, Arjanveer ‘holdbaby’ Singh Chadha let out a winner’s roar, reminding everyone of his top-tier status. Just three weeks after taking down the Adda52 Sunday Big Slick (for the second time this year!), the 2022 POY #3 definitely made some noise.

Chadha is the real deal, and his record screams it loud – over ₹16 Crores in total earnings. Look back at 2024: two Indian Poker Masters titles in August, twin flagship wins in October, and another double in November. Chadha stormed back after a few quieter months in December/January (he took some time off), grabbing wins in February and March and now landing this punch in April. Let’s just say his profit graph over seven-plus years seems looks like it’s aiming for the stars.

This wasn’t just another Sunday tournament. The 8:30 PM (6-Max) BSS SPRINT attracted a guarantee-busting 665 entries (320 unique). Chadha dialled into the zone early, making it look easy by needing only his first bullet. Once he hit his stride, it felt like curtains for the rest of the field. After a focused, intense grind lasting just over six hours, he took it down for the first time and the ₹2 Lakhs top prize that came with it.

While the BSS SPRINT title was his standout score (and only cash) across the three PokerBaazi majors he entered last night, Chadha was simultaneously applying pressure at Adda52 with three deep runs there. When all was said and done, Chadha’s cross-platform Sunday grind saw his total take approach ₹2.68 Lakhs. This performance also brings him thrillingly close to bursting through the mighty ₹6 Crore profit barrier in tracked online winnings!

> 11th in Adda52’s Big Whale for ₹48,883

> 17th in Adda52’s Sunday Head Hunter for ₹10,670

> 14th in Adda52’s Sunday Big Slick for ₹8,731

Arjanveer Singh Chadha’s online stats (excluding Junglee Poker, PokerStars India, and Pocket52): Lifetime Winnings: ₹16.95 Crores | Lifetime Profits: ₹6 Crores | Titles Won in 2025: #4

Standing toe-to-toe with Chadha down the stretch was Delhi’s Anurag ‘Rebuy2survive’ Srivastava, another player currently running incredibly hot. Fresh from grabbing four medals at NPS India2025 (including two Golds) and finishing #2 on the fiercely competitive Delhi State Leaderboard, Srivastava also shipped Adda52’s Mystery Bounty last month. Just last Tuesday, he won The Endeavour Lite and final-tabled The Endeavour. Last night, he came incredibly close again in the (6-Max) BSS SPRINT, collecting a very respectable ₹1.33 Lakhs for second place.

Adding this score to three other deep runs across the sites, Srivastava’s Sunday efforts added nearly ₹1.76 Lakhs to his coffers. It was another strong showing for the crusher who recently joined the elite ‘₹12 Crore Club’ in tracked online earnings.

Anurag Srivastava’s online stats (excluding Natural8 India, Junglee Poker, and Pocket52): Lifetime Winnings: ₹12.04 Crores | Lifetime Profits: ₹3.92 Crores | Titles Won in 2025: #8

As expected, the (6-Max) BSS SPRINT final table was loaded with talent. Joining Chadha and Srivastava were Dhinesh ‘dhineshrocky007’ Kumar (last Sunday’s Adda52 Millions champ), who finished third for ₹98,553. Young Gun Anmol ‘anzzzzz’ Mehta placed fourth (₹75,810). Abilash ‘Steelbala’ Bala, last week’s top earner who also final-tabled the Sunday Head Hunter last night, took fifth (₹64,239), and Abhinav ‘AffableSatan’ Bhanot finished sixth (₹52,934).

Mirroring the success across PokerBaazi’s Sunday lineup, the ₹2,300 buy-in (6-Max) BSS SPRINT easily soared past its guarantee, building up an attractive ₹13.30 Lakhs prize pool – over ₹3.30 Lakhs more than promised. The top 100 finishers got a piece of the action, adding to a very rewarding Sunday grind on India’s leading online poker platform.

Junglee Poker is keeping the pedal firmly down on high-octane tournament action! No sooner did its ₹1.50+ Crores GTD Knockout Series wrap on March 30 than the platform unleashed the colossal Battle Ground (BG) series, boasting a guaranteed war chest of over ₹3.50 Crores! Kicking off this 17-day poker spectacle (running April 4 to 20), the first Sunday brought the noise, headlined by the rebranded weekend staple – the ₹20 Lakhs GTD BG#8 Sunday Special Knockout.

The 7:30 PM PKO flagship drew 293 contenders into the fray, turning the virtual arena into a bounty hunter’s playground where every move mattered. After eight-plus hours of intense poker combat, the enigmatic ‘d3ndynat1on’ emerged from the digital dust cloud, claiming a decisive victory. Putting on a clinic, they skillfully dismantled the competition, bagging a site-best payday of ₹3.17 Lakhs. A massive ₹1.67 Lakhs of that came from collecting bounties, making this a true breakout!

Delhi’s poker dynamo, Vinay ‘VINAY09’ Rajpal, gave the eventual winner a real fight. Still powered by his phenomenal NPS India 2025 run (playing all 191 events, snagging four medals, and finishing #3 on the Series Leaderboard for ₹15 Lakhs!), Rajpal was gunning hard for another major title. He pushed ‘d3ndynat1on’ right to the wire in the heads-up finale before finishing in a hard-fought second place, earning ₹2.49 Lakhs, including ₹99,477 in bounty collections.

Rajpal also snagged cash over on PokerBaazi in the BSS SuperValue, which meant his Sunday earnings topped the ₹2.57 Lakhs mark.

Amit ‘the_ziro’ J also showed resilience, grinding his way to a solid third-place finish worth ₹1.39 Lakhs (₹27,938 in bounties). Adding some familiar streaming energy to the final table was Shobhit ‘krunghep’ Bhargava, who finished in eighth place, earning ₹29,162 (₹4,500 in bounties), all while streaming his gameplay live on his ‘569Poker’ YouTube channel.

As if the Sunday Special Knockout wasn’t appealing enough, a noticeable ₹2.42 Lakhs overlay sweetened the deal considerably, making it fantastic value for the players involved. With the top 34 finishers making the money and bounties adding extra spice to every elimination, the action was electric from start to finish. And with two more weeks of the Battle Ground series still ready to explode, you can bet the poker fireworks on Junglee Poker are far from over!

April is roaring out of the gates, and Junglee Poker is right in the thick of it with its 17-day poker festival, the grand ₹3.50+ Crores GTD Battle Ground series! Amidst the broader action, the BG#9 Sunday Special Highroller might have drawn a smaller field of 86 runners, but it was stacked with talent. After a concentrated 5.5 hours of intense play, it was the seasoned Goan poker pro Myron ‘khAAbib’ Pereira who stood tall, grabbing the title and ₹2.69 Lakhs – boosted significantly by a hefty ₹1.46 Lakhs in bounties.

Pereira is one of those names you constantly see deep in tournaments, a true fixture at final tables. He’s been seriously close to landing a big one several times recently, making final table appearances in two NPS India 2025 events (NPS#119 Deepdive & NPS#160 Knockout (PKO)), reaching the final stage of Adda52’s Sunday Head Hunter last month, and even final-tabling Junglee Poker’s Thursday Mini Highroller just last week. He was undoubtedly due.

For Pereira, it was the perfect comeback stage. Snapping a three-week stretch without a major title (since his last win in the Sunday Special KO Mini), he announced his form in style. The Goan shark added three more scores to his tally, bringing his total haul for the day close to ₹3.27 Lakhs.

Myron Pereira’s online stats (excluding Junglee Poker, Natural8 India and Pocket52): Lifetime Winnings: ₹14.14 Crores | Lifetime Profits: ₹2.64 Crores | Titles Won in 2025: #1

Giving Pereira a tough fight right to the end was the mystery player ‘devil_beast1,’ who put in a strong performance to finish as the runner-up, collecting a solid ₹1.68 Lakhs (₹44,687 in bounties).

Also making noise yet again was Lavesh ‘magicodds98’ Meena, who just keeps crushing lately. Following up his incredible fourth victory in the Thursday Mini Highroller last week and a runner-up finish in Saturday’s Blockbuster, Meena continued his hot streak by placing fifth in the Sunday Special Highroller, adding ₹61,699 (₹10,000 in bounties) to his weekend haul.

While the ₹11,500 buy-in BG#9 Sunday Special Highroller did dip ₹1.40 Lakhs below its ₹10 Lakhs guarantee, that just translated into serious value for the participants. The payout structure meant the top nine finishers all walked away, having more than doubled their investment before even counting the bounties they snagged along the way. It all added more fuel to the fire around Junglee Poker’s first-ever Battle Ground series, and there`s a lot more intense action and great value to come.

Sunday wasn’t just busy; it was pure poker pandemonium across the board! While PokerBaazi’s BSS flagships were packed to the rafters, Adda52 was throwing its own party with a stacked lineup delivering some serious fireworks and amazing value. Right in the middle of the action stood Jharkhand’s silent assassin, Ram ‘mowumotu’ Kakkar (opted out of our tracking) — a man who’s made a habit of showing up when the stakes are high.

An online beast, this former EndBoss third-place finisher had already made some noise earlier this year, taking down Adda52’s Roller Coaster on January 5 and following up with a strong showing in Natural8 India’s APL Series: Hold’em Bounty on January 16. After a brief quiet patch, he roared back on February 23 to capture the MMA Main Event title right here on Adda52. The weeks since had seen relative calm, punctuated by near misses like a fourth-place run in NPS#61 (7-Max) SPRINT and a sixth in the WTF in March. He was lying low, waiting for the right moment.

Then came Sunday night – and the moment arrived with a bang. After a six-week title slump, Kakkar returned to the forefront, conquering one of the weekend’s biggest tournaments: the ₹50 Lakhs GTD Big Whale. This Sunday special drew 771 entries over five starting flights. Only 104 survivors (all already in the money) converged for the 10 PM finale, creating an atmosphere thick with tension and a pace that was nothing short of blistering.

Kakkar held firm through it all. In a finale that moved at breakneck speed, he emerged victorious after a heads-up deal, locking up the champion’s share, a staggering ₹7.56 Lakhs. It was his first Big Whale title and a fitting addition to his growing collection of big-league victories.

But the Sunday grind yielded more. Kakkar added two more deep finishes in other flagship events, pushing his total earnings for the day close to the ₹8.48 Lakhs neighbourhood — enough to make him the third-biggest winner of the day, trailing only Natural8 India crusher ‘Shouryaanga’ and PokerBaazi’s BSS SuperStack champ Kritarth Pant.

> 1st in Adda52’s Big Whale for ₹7,56,324* (heads-up deal)

> 20th in Adda52’s Sunday Head Huner for ₹23,051* (₹13,750 in bounties)

> 140th in PokerBaazi’s BSS SuperStack for ₹9,647

Nearly stealing the show was the young sensation Tanay ‘rujula16’ Kauntia, who hit the Sunday tables with clear intent. Known as the top individual scorer from Pocket52 PSL Season 6 last year and a consistent online threat, Kauntia was aiming high – chasing his eighth title of 2025 and a second Big Whale trophy. His last win came on February 25 in The Mint, and after a quieter run through NPS India 2025, the drive to break a six-week cold streak was undeniable.

And in the Big Whale, he nearly did it. Kauntia went head-to-head with Kakkar, a clash that had all the intensity you’d expect. He pushed hard, but for the second time in this specific event, he had to accept the runner-up position. Still, the heads-up deal ensured he walked away with a hefty ₹7.42 Lakhs – his second-best score ever recorded on Adda52!

The Big Whale final table itself was a gallery of poker prowess, featuring some of the biggest names in the game like Rubin ‘kornkif’ Labroo (3rd for ₹4.57 Lakhs), three-time POY Young Gun Gaurav ‘BuildPuntOK’ Sood (4th for ₹3.32 Lakhs), the ever-consistent Yash ‘gambler11’ Jaiswal (5th for ₹2.41 Lakhs), last week’s The Pride Lite podium finisher Shekhar ‘brat_poker’ Singh (6th for ₹1.75 Lakhs), and Thursday’s Daily Last Chance winner Sam ‘lokimon’ Anand (8th for ₹92,412).

The Big Whale, with its ₹5,750 entry fee, turned out to be arguably the best value proposition anywhere online this Sunday. Despite the fierce competition, the tournament experienced a glaring ₹11.45 Lakhs overlay against its ₹50 Lakhs guarantee – a shortfall exceeding 22%! This translated into exceptional value for the 104 players who made the money, each receiving at least ₹16,260, more than 2.8 times their initial buy-in. All in all, it was a highly rewarding Sunday on Adda52, India’s longest-running online poker platform, and the perfect way to start another exciting poker week!

Sunday night on Adda52 wasn’t just busy; it was downright buzzing! While the massive Big Whale played out its final stages, the platform’s signature ₹25 Lakhs GTD Adda52 Millions generated its own electrifying current. And riding that current straight into the winner’s spotlight was none other than the scorching-hot Goonjan ‘gmtesting’ Mall, making it clear his incredible run has plenty of fuel left in the tank.

Mall is a player who commands attention every time he pulls up a virtual chair. His staggering ₹15+ Crores in tracked online earnings speaks volumes. He arrived at the Adda52 Millions table, still radiating confidence from his spectacular NPS India 2025 performance – snagging two Gold Medals (NPS#64 Deepdive and NPS#153 (4-Max) Hyper), cashing an incredible 87 times for ₹19.33 Lakhs total, and topping the West Bengal State Leaderboard. That performance didn’t just earn bragging rights; it punched his golden ticket to the much-awaited National Poker Champion showdown in Goa (April 13-17). A life-altering ₹1 Crore prize sits waiting for one champion out of 12 contenders – the definition of high pressure.

Interestingly, Mall is the third NPC finalist after Wilson Yomso (WTF) and Aditya Sushant (Daily Last Chance) to snag a major win after the NPS concluded. Looks like that intense competition lit a fire under these finalists heading towards the Goa showdown.

The Adda52 Millions shuffled up and dealt at 9 PM sharp. Mall skillfully carved his path through the 215-entry field, deploying his signature blend of cool calculation and well-timed aggression. He went the distance, locking down his third Adda52 Millions title and adding a sweet ₹4.97 Lakhs to his bankroll – his largest cash on the platform this year and his fourth major tournament win of 2025.

But one trophy wasn’t enough for Mall’s Sunday grind. He kept his foot on the gas, snagging three more deep runs on Adda52. By the time the dust settled on his Sunday session, his winnings had climbed over the ₹5.34 Lakhs mark.

Giving Mall a serious run for his money was the equally dangerous ‘Ashwinvijay1399’ (anonymity requested). This is a player well-versed in grabbing headlines, with a resume gleaming with wins like Spartan Poker’s Legend Poker Series Main Event and Millionaire VI, PokerBaazi’s IPM#100 Grand Master, and the distinction of winning the inaugural DPT Grand Championship in Goa.

Clearly riding high after a runner-up finish in last Thursday’s WTF, ‘Ashwinvijay1399’ brought that form straight into Sunday. They expertly worked their way through the Adda52 Millions field, reaching the tense heads-up finale against Mall. It was a determined fight, but they ultimately took second place, banking a very healthy ₹3.68 Lakhs – their fourth-largest cash ever on Adda52.

‘Ashwinvijay1399’ was clearly locked in, firing deep runs across four flagships, including a standout fifth place in PokerBaazi’s BSS SuperStack. Adding up their Sunday scores, ‘Ashwinvijay1399’ pocketed over ₹6.34 Lakhs for the day’s work.

The Adda52 Millions final table itself was a minefield of known crushers. Alongside the top two were talents like Young Gun Shardul ‘vamos96’ Parthasarathi (NPS#91 (5-Max) Hyper SPRINT and NPS#153 (4-Max) Hyper Silver Medallist), finishing third for ₹2.73 Lakhs and Vishal ‘GigaaBet’ Bajaj (NPS Maharashtra State Leaderboard #4) grabbing ₹1.11 Lakhs in sixth place.

Compared to the Big Whale, the Adda52 Millions held up relatively well against its guarantee, falling short of the ₹25 Lakhs mark by ₹3.50 Lakhs. This overlay meant bonus value for everyone who played. For an ₹11,500 buy-in, the top 31 finishers walked away with at least ₹27,189 – more than doubling their initial investment! It all added up to another high-voltage Sunday session on India’s longest-serving online poker platform, dishing out hefty rewards and incredible value.

While PokerBaazi’s Baazi Super Sunday (BSS) flagships sailed smoothly, Adda52’s big Sunday tournaments hit overlay headwinds. The ₹20 Lakhs GTD Sunday Head Hunter joined the Big Whale and Adda52 Millions in offering up extra value for the players. But overlays or not, the action delivered big time, especially for Samyak ‘stonedurr’ Sethi, who finally captured the headline victory that had tantalizingly danced just out of his reach for months.

Sethi, known for taking down the DPT Xpress Main Event this February, is a seasoned poker warrior. However, despite his tall credentials, it had been a while since his online victory in PokerBaazi’s (6-Max) BSS SPRINT in October. The frustration must have been mounting. He kept getting so close, racking up seven final table appearances since that win, including heart-stopping runner-up finishes in PokerBaazi’s WPT#67 Super HighRoller in December and the Adda52 Millions just this past January. That top spot, however, remained stubbornly just out of reach. The poker gods seemed to be testing his resolve. But all of that changed on Sunday night.

The 8 PM Sunday Head Hunter brought together a 355-entry field (182 unique), creating a fierce bounty battle. Sethi rose to the challenge, outlasting everyone to claim the title and a hefty ₹4.36 Lakhs payout. The bounties made it even sweeter – a massive ₹2.27 Lakhs of his prize came purely from knocking out opponents. His long-awaited win was made even sweeter by the fact that he had finished second in this very event twice last year, finally putting those ghosts to rest.

And Sethi kept his foot on the gas elsewhere, too. He also navigated deep in two BSS flagships on PokerBaazi, pushing his Sunday scorecard to earnings shy of the ₹4.94 Lakhs.

> 1st in Adda52’s Sunday Head Hunter for ₹4,36,173* (₹2,27,198 in bounties)

> 10th in PokerBaazi’s BSS Super Value for ₹35,101

> 48th in PokerBaazi’s BSS SuperStack for ₹22,700

Putting up a fierce fight and nearly denying Sethi his moment was Shivam ‘SSoulShaker’ Dubey. Fresh off a Monster Turbo PKO win on Adda52 just weeks ago, Dubey played hard to the end, finishing as the runner-up for ₹1.88 Lakhs (₹34,961 in bounties) – his best score on the site so far this year. Dubey’s productive Sunday saw him stack up just over ₹2.26 Lakhs across four tournament scores!

> 2nd in Adda52’s Sunday Head Hunter for ₹1,88,137* (₹34,961 in bounties)

> 32nd in Adda52’s Big Whale for ₹21,832

> 28th in PokerBaazi’s (6-Max) BSS SPRINT for ₹9,709

Also lighting up the final tables was Raghav ‘mrbean98’ Ananth. The player who impressively collected four medals at the NPS India 2025 (including Silver in the NPS#161 (6-Max) Big SPRINT) continued to demonstrate his sharp form this season. He put on a multi-tabling masterclass on Sunday, landing on three flagship final tables. His best result was a third-place finish in the Sunday Head Hunter, good for ₹1.28 Lakhs (₹15,938 in bounties). His combined efforts resulted in a Sunday haul landing just under ₹2.75 Lakhs.

The Sunday Head Hunter final table was populated by well-known grinders. Ganesh ‘ganesh24’ Durgade (three NPS India 2025 medals, Saturday’s (PLO-6) Daily runner-up) finished fourth for ₹1.03 Lakhs. The always-dangerous Shagun ‘sogani94’ Jain (opted out of our tracking) took fifth for ₹84,134. Ridhav ‘ricecrop’ Chawla (former The MoneyMaker champion, two NPS India 2025 Gold Medals) claimed sixth place for ₹75,234. Also battling deep were Mubhashir ‘Copains37’ Ahamed (7th for ₹49,131) and Abilash ‘steelbala’ Bala (last week’s top earner and last night’s (6-Max) BSS SPRINT finalist), who finished eighth for ₹49,501.

Like its sibling flagships on Adda52, the ₹5,750 buy-in Sunday Head Hunter also dished out extra value to the tune of a ₹2.25 Lakhs overlay. The top 53 finishers got paid, each receiving at least ₹7,068 (a nice 1.3x return on buy-in) before factoring in any bounties they collected along their run. Despite the overlays, Adda52 delivered a power-packed weekend with undeniable value up for grabs for savvy players.
