Manuyash Chaudhary, Shubham Agarwal & Hardik Nair Steal the Sunday Spotlight With Million-Plus Scores on Natural8 India and PokerBaazi!

The Indian online poker scene went supernova this weekend! PokerBaazi was the hottest spot, with their 10th Anniversary celebrations bringing insane action and excitement. Seven of the 15 qualifiers for the ₹25 Crores GTD G.O.A.T. – the biggest poker tournament India has ever seen – are in the books, and players are scrambling to get a piece of the action. But here’s where things get really crazy: with just over 5,000 entries so far, the G.O.A.T. is looking at a potential overlay that’ll blow your mind! We could be talking about a ₹10 Crore overlay (or even more!), which means insane value for anyone who jumps in.

It wasn’t just PokerBaazi that was turning up the heat. Pocket52’s ₹5 Crores GTD October Tournament Series and Junglee Poker’s ₹5+ Crores GTD Victory Showdown Series also kept players glued to their screens with a ton of amazing tournaments. And let’s not forget Pocket52’s 500X ROI ‘Big Win Mania,’ where the Pocket Kings boasted a boosted ₹20 Lakhs GTD, adding to the Sunday frenzy. And over on Natural8 India, two more players joined the millionaire’s club last night! It was a weekend of massive wins and non-stop excitement across the board.

The biggest winner of Sunday was ‘SpewSolver‘ on Natural8 India. This player just burst onto the scene last week and scored a second-place finish in the Daily Special 88, and they continued their hot streak with a bang! They took down second place in the Sunday Kick-Off 125, navigating a tough field of 905 entrants to win a massive ₹11.10 Lakhs. They also snagged a 21st-place finish in the Grand Prix Europe 125 for an extra ₹1.04 Lakhs, bringing their total winnings for the day to a staggering ₹12.15 Lakhs!

Manuyash Chaudhary also made waves on Natural8 India. He wasn’t afraid to take on one of the biggest tournaments of the day, battling through a massive field of 5,802 entries in the Bounty Hunters Daily Main 54. He finished in a very respectable third place and walked away with a mind-blowing ₹11.99 Lakhs.

Over on PokerBaazi, Shubham Agarwal etched his name in Indian poker history by winning the country’s longest-running single-flight ₹1 Crore guaranteed tournament, The MoneyMaker. Fresh off his twin victories in The Summit (Double Ante) and Summit Lite on July 25, Agarwal took down The MoneyMaker 87.0 for the champion`s bracelet and a career-high ₹10.44 Lakhs – his second seven-figure score! – after a three-way deal. He amassed a total of ₹11.43 Lakhs for the day. The competition was fierce, with ‘Think_again‘ coming in a close second, earning ₹11.60 Lakhs from the deal, and Young Gun Hardik Nair rounding out the top three with a career-best ₹10.33 Lakhs.

Tanay Kauntia, who made waves as the MVP qualifier for the Bengaluru Allstars in the Pocket52 PSL Season 6, finally broke through in a big way by conquering Adda52’s Big Whale, earning a career-best ₹8.04 Lakhs after a heads-up deal – his 14th title this year! Habil Jiruwala also put on a strong performance, finishing runner-up for a personal-best ₹7.74 Lakhs from the deal.

But Sunday wasn’t just about established pros. We also saw some epic comebacks! PokerBaazi’s ‘PsychG0D,’ who hadn’t played a tournament on the platform in over five years, roared back to life by taking down the BSS SuperStack for ₹7.94 Lakhs – their biggest score on the platform. Amit Kaushik, fresh off winning the Maverick, finished a close second for ₹5.18 Lakhs – his fourth-biggest score on PokerBaazi. He racked up a total of ₹8.65 Lakhs from six deep runs, including a third-place finish in Adda52 Millions for ₹2.75 Lakhs.

Harsh Bubna, who finished second on last week`s leaderboard, also kept his hot streak alive, winning Adda52 Millions for ₹4.57 Lakhs after a heads-up deal and raking in a total of ₹5.68 Lakhs across four deep runs. Kashish Gupta, coming off a final table finish in last week’s Big Whale, wasn’t far behind, securing second place with ₹4.17 Lakhs from the same deal.

Lavesh Meena, after winning four titles in September, finally grabbed his first win of October, conquering Junglee Poker`s VS#18 Sunday Special Knockout for ₹3.69 Lakhs. With five other deep runs, Meena raked in a total of ₹5.22 Lakhs.

The excitement continued on PokerBaazi as ‘Bonomo,’ who finished third in the IPM#57 Big Value, clinched the BSS Super Value title for ₹4.19 Lakhs and accumulated a total of ₹4.42 Lakhs from three deep runs. Punya Behera, a former BSS Super Value champion, almost won it for the second time, finishing runner-up for ₹2.46 Lakhs and pushing his tracked online winnings past the ₹3.50 Crores mark!

Abhimanyu Mittal snapped a month-long title drought, dominating Adda52’s Sunday Head Hunter for the first time and pocketing ₹4.08 Lakhs – his biggest score on Adda52 this year, pushing his annual winnings past the ₹2 Crore mark. Close behind was Shivam Shukla, who narrowly missed winning the Sunday Head Hunter for the second time, earning ₹1.84 Lakhs in second place – his third-best score on Adda52 this year.

On Pocket52, newcomer ‘BajjooBc’ proved their mettle by becoming the Pocket Kings champion, earning ₹3.02 Lakhs in just their sixth tournament on the platform. ‘HakunaMatata99’ finished runner-up for ₹2.12 Lakhs – their second-best score on Pocket52.

Sunday also saw flagship victories from Surbhit Grover (Won Adda52’s Sunday Big Slick for ₹1.83 Lakhs), Samyak Sethi (Won PokerBaazi’s (6-Max) BSS SPRINT for ₹1.69 Lakhs), ‘Phoenix7a’ (Won PokerBaazi’s Daily Last Chance for ₹1.62 Lakhs) and Ashwin Vijayvergiya (Won PokerBaazi’s BSS Kickoff for ₹1.09 Lakhs).

PokerBaazi’s 10th Anniversary celebrations were absolutely electric this weekend! The action was non-stop with the G.O.A.T. qualifier, the highly anticipated The MoneyMaker, and a jam-packed Baazi Super Sunday schedule. But the most inspiring story of the weekend was the incredible comeback of ‘PsychG0D,‘ a PokerBaazi player who returned after five years to achieve an incredible victory!

‘PsychG0D,’ who has mainly been a freeroller throughout their poker journey on PokerBaazi, finally achieved their dream by taking down the ₹50 Lakhs GTD BSS SuperStack. This 7:30 PM Sunday headliner attracted a challenging field of 558 players (1,059 total entries), but ‘PsychG0D’ didn’t let the pressure faze them. They battled it out for an intense eight-hour and 50-minute marathon, demonstrating exceptional skill and resilience that you wouldn’t expect from someone with limited experience in such high-stakes tournaments. In the end, they claimed their first-ever flagship title on PokerBaazi and a stunning ₹7.94 Lakhs top prize after two entries – their biggest score on the platform, a windfall on their first night back on the platform after half a decade that finally turned their fortunes around from past losses!

Remember Tanay ‘rujula16’ Kauntia, the player who made waves as the MVP qualifier for the Bengaluru Allstars in Pocket52 PSL Season 6? He’s back in the spotlight with an incredible victory! Kauntia just took down Adda52’s ₹50 Lakhs GTD Big Whale for a career-best score, snapping an eleven-week winning drought.

Even without a win for eleven weeks, Kauntia has been a consistent threat, racking up an impressive 12 final table finishes. But this Sunday, he was playing on another level. In the 10 PM Big Whale finale, he faced a tough field of 104 survivors from a massive 1,038-entry pool (553 unique) across five starting flights. He outlasted the competition with incredible focus and top-notch poker skills, earning a scorching ₹8.04 Lakhs after a heads-up deal. This isn’t just any win for Kauntia – it’s his biggest score to date and his 14th title this year!

Online regular Habil ‘MuckTheSystem’ Jiruwala is having a moment! Just days after finishing second in the Voyager on Adda52, he almost took down the Big Whale too.

After a close second-place finish in PokerBaazi’s IPM#38 Megastack and final table appearances in Adda52’s The Mint and Monster Turbo in August, Mittal took some time off in September.
