Natural8 India Newcomer ‘24-7 Tilt’ Explodes Onto Scene With ₹21.74 Lakh Sunday Score! National Poker Champion Mohit Bohra Binks #4 The MoneyMaker Title!

May blasted off with intense online poker action, and the month’s first Sunday lived up to the hype. While Indian players were making waves internationally at APT Taipei (hat tip to Nishant Kumar for his monster ₹1.15 Crore score for finishing fifth in the record-breaking Main Event!), the virtual felts back home were buzzing.

Sunday saw a swarm of players hitting the tables, with the usual heavy hitters making their presence known across all major platforms. Natural8 India flexed its muscle, drawing top talent and generating hefty prize pools as its Omaholic Series 2025 wraps up today. PokerBaazi served up its signature Sunday spread, headlined by the daily ₹1 Crore GTD The MoneyMaker (which ran its fourth edition last night as part of its month-long daily schedule) and bolstered by the Baazi Super Sunday (BSS) flagships that kept the action flowing all evening.

Over on Adda52, the ₹1.50 Crores GTD Masterminds Arena Bounty Series played out its final chapter, bringing an action-packed series to a close. Meanwhile, Junglee Poker kept the competitive spirit high with its ongoing Poker Premiere League (PPL).

While Sunday nights always hum with activity, one name utterly dominated the conversation: ‘24-7 Tilt.’ Making a grand entrance on Natural8 India, this mystery player didn’t just test the waters – they dove headfirst into the deep end, taking on the massive Bounty Hunters Sunday Main Event 55. Facing down a colossal field of 24,125 entries is a daunting task for anyone, but ‘24-7 Tilt’ navigated the chaos like a veteran. Their spectacular debut finished with a jaw-dropping sixth-place result worth ₹21.74 Lakhs – the single largest score recorded across any platform for the day. Quite the way to say “hello.”

Just behind them on the Sunday leaderboard was India’s first National Poker Champion, Mohit Bohra. Fresh off that historic win, Bohra added another major title by taking down PokerBaazi’s #4 The MoneyMaker, banking ₹15 Lakhs – his largest score on the platform and second-biggest cash overall. The Gujarat-based pro came agonizingly close to an incredible double-title night, finishing runner-up in Adda52’s Mystery Bounty for another ₹3.96 Lakhs. Adding two more cashes, Bohra’s Sunday earnings soared past a staggering ₹19.11 Lakhs.

The MoneyMaker also delivered a fantastic story for runner-up Aditya Bagaria. He spun a ₹1,435 satellite entry into a life-changing ₹10 Lakhs payday – an insane 697x return on investment and his first seven-figure score on PokerBaazi, completely rewriting his stats sheet. Another player continuing a hot run was Jalgaon’s Pranav Zarekar, who grabbed third place for ₹7.37 Lakhs – a new personal best. Two more cashes saw Zarekar finishing his Sunday session nearly ₹7.56 Lakhs richer.

Vishal Ojha finally conquered a demon, taking down the BSS SuperStack title on PokerBaazi after three previous runner-up finishes in the same event. His win earned him ₹6.95 Lakhs following a heads-up deal and felt extra sweet coming just two days after a monster Friday that included a ₹15 Lakhs MoneyMaker victory. Ojha added two more cashes, boosting his Sunday total to ₹7.26 Lakhs and climbing to #2 on PokerBaazi’s 2025 POY Leaderboard. The other player in the deal, Gujarat’s ‘RampageR1,’ also had a banner night, collecting a personal-best ₹5.55 Lakhs from the chop and ending the day with ₹5.74 Lakhs overall.

Rising Star Aman Parakh‘s incredible form continued unabated. He achieved a commanding repeat victory in the Adda52 Millions, claiming the title for the second consecutive week and adding ₹4.97 Lakhs to his coffers. This win was the centrepiece of another high-impact Sunday for Parakh, who notched four additional deep runs, accumulating ₹5.40 Lakhs in total winnings for the night. And where there’s a major final table, there’s often Young Gun Gaurav Sood. The legendary three-time POY delivered another sharp performance, recording back-to-back runner-up finishes in the Adda52 Millions (for ₹3.68 Lakhs – an event he’s won 11 times!) and the MMA High Roller PKO (for ₹1.03 Lakhs). With another deep run added, Sood’s Sunday take reached nearly ₹4.94 Lakhs, reinforcing why he remains one of India’s elite players.

Aditya Sushant put another jewel in his impressive 2025 crown with a decisive win in Adda52’s MMA Main Event, banking ₹3.74 Lakhs. This victory topped off a stellar week for India’s first WSOP bracelet winner, who had won The Ballers just days earlier. Sushant cashed in six more MTTs across PokerBaazi and Adda52, pushing his Sunday earnings beyond ₹4.37 Lakhs and jumping to #17 on PokerBaazi’s POY rankings. Meanwhile, Adda52 regular ‘Ace2311’ made a strong return after some time away from the grind, finishing runner-up in the same event. Their ₹2.76 Lakhs payout was not only a personal best but nearly nine times their previous top score on the site – a potential signal of bigger things to come.

Anmol Narang broke a six-week title drought by taking down Adda52’s Mystery Bounty. The former The Millionaire champion pocketed ₹3.81 Lakhs, including a healthy ₹1.56 Lakhs in bounties – his third title in 2025 and second-best score on the platform. Adding two more cashes, Narang’s Sunday haul exceeded ₹2.62 Lakhs.

Keeping the Narang name in light, Ankush Narang continued his recent upward trend on PokerBaazi, winning the BSS Super Value for ₹3.12 Lakhs via a heads-up deal. This was his best score of the year and came just two weeks after he broke his own dry spell. This third title of 2025 points towards a strong return to form. Sreeharsha Boneni nearly ended his own two-month search for a title in the same event, settling for second in the deal for ₹3.08 Lakhs – his highest score this year. Two more cashes on Adda52 meant Boneni finished the day nearly ₹3.20 Lakhs richer.

Natural8 India saw more notable performances beyond the headline grabber:

• Rahul Batheja, also making his Natural8 India debut, finished ninth in the Sunday Kickstarter 100 for ₹3.69 Lakhs.
• Ganesh Durgade came close in the Sunday Hypersonic 20, with a runner-up finish on his platform debut worth ₹3.39 Lakhs.
• Tarun Goyal, the current 2025 POY frontrunner, padded his stats further, finishing 107th in the Sunday Showdown 250 for ₹2.46 Lakhs, pushing his annual earnings towards an astounding ₹4.74 Crores.

Rounding out a power-packed Sunday, several other players claimed standout victories: Shubham Agrawal took down Junglee Poker’s PPL Weekly Finale 1 for ₹2.72 Lakhs. On PokerBaazi, ‘ak457’ won the late-night Daily Last Chance for ₹1.71 Lakhs, the in-form Praveen KR conquered the (6-Max) BSS SPRINT for ₹1.50 Lakhs, and Babeesh P started his Sunday strong by winning the BSS Kickoff for ₹1.20 Lakhs. Adda52’s MMA Highroller PKO title went to ‘Gummy007,’ who banked ₹1.45 Lakhs.

Finally, shout-outs to Prateek Sharma and Sumit Ghosh, who both added Sunday titles to their records!

Here are the Sunday highlights!

PokerBaazi

#4 The MoneyMaker – ₹1 Crore GTD

Buy-in – ₹10,000

Entries – 532

Re-entries – 413

Prize Pool – ₹1,00,00,000

Places Paid – 146

The first Sunday of May didn’t just arrive; it detonated on PokerBaazi with the much-anticipated daily return of the legendary The MoneyMaker, and it’s already living up to the hype. India’s longest-running ₹1 Crore GTD single-flight tournament is back in town – not for a cameo, but settling in for a nightly residency throughout May. That’s 31 straight days of high-stakes poker action, 27 more champions waiting to be crowned, and 27 golden chances for players to rewrite their destinies.

Sunday was already primed for action, with the regular Baazi Super Sunday (BSS) headliners drawing crowds. But the real centrepiece, the event everyone was circling, was the day’s main attraction — #4 The MoneyMaker, boasting that massive ₹1 Crore guarantee. Despite the palpable excitement, it was a tough day for guarantees across the board; nearly every major event on PokerBaazi fell short, with only the Daily Last Chance bucking the trend. The MoneyMaker itself had its biggest shortfall yet this month, drawing 945 entries (532 unique).

And when the smoke finally cleared, after nearly ten hours of intense poker warfare, Mohit ‘bullets777’ Bohra – the man whose name has been lighting up headlines, India’s first-ever National Poker Champion – added his name to The MoneyMaker hall of fame. He didn’t just win this one; he almost won another big one over on Adda52, wrapping up Sunday over ₹19.11 Lakhs richer. The 26-year-old from Gujarat is making his mark. That’s title number six for him in 2025, and perhaps his second most memorable one yet!

Bohra’s recent form hasn’t just been good; it’s been downright legendary. At NPS India 2025, he was a one-man wrecking crew, playing all 191 events, cashing in 126, and racking up ₹36.96 Lakhs in series winnings. His extraordinary consistency and commitment earned him the #5 spot on the NPS Series Leaderboard (netting an additional ₹8 Lakhs in leaderboard prizes). His five-medal collection (3 Gold, 2 Silver) also made him the Gujarat State Champion (adding a ₹2 Lakhs prize) and punched his ticket to the National Poker Champion showdown in Goa. There, following four days of demanding matches (watched by a nation via live stream on JioHotstar and updates on PokerGuru), he triumphed – carving his name into history as the inaugural National Poker Champion, collecting an eye-watering ₹1 Crore winner-takes-all prize, and triggering a ₹1 Crore exclusive freeroll for all Gujarat players.

That special NPC State FreeRoll wrapped up last weekend, with Dhawal Lachhwani claiming the top prize of ₹10 Lakhs, while Bohra himself managed a 57th-place finish for ₹29,000!

Back to last night’s #4 The MoneyMaker: Bohra fired three bullets in the 7:30 PM showstopper and coolly navigated the field of 532 players (945 total entries). For conquering the beast, his account got a ₹15 Lakh injection – his biggest MTT score this year, his best PokerBaazi result ever, and career-wise, second only to that ₹21.30 Lakhs he scooped for fourth in Spartan Poker’s 2023 Legend Poker Series Main Event.

But Bohra’s Sunday story had more chapters. Hopping over to Adda52, he came incredibly close to achieving a sensational double-title night. Entering the ₹25 Lakhs GTD Mystery Bounty twice, he reached the final hurdle, eventually finishing as the runner-up. While the title slipped away, he still walked away with ₹3.96 Lakhs, a sum significantly boosted by pulling ₹2.32 Lakhs in bounties.

Two smaller cashes elsewhere pushed his total Sunday winnings past the ₹19.11 Lakh mark. This incredible haul made him the second-biggest winner across the major platforms yesterday, trailing only Natural8 India debutant ’24-7 Tilt,‘ who pulled off a stunning ₹21.74 Lakhs score for sixth place in the Bounty Hunters Sunday Main Event 55.

> 1st in PokerBaazi’s #4 The MoneyMaker for ₹15,00,000

> 2nd in Adda52’s Mystery Bounty for ₹3,96,456* (₹2,31,506 in bounties)

> 35th in PokerBaazi’s (6-Max) BSS SPRINT for ₹5,700

> 32nd in Adda52’s MMA Highroller PKO for ₹8,876* (₹5,500 in bounties)

While Bohra claimed the ultimate prize, The MoneyMaker runner-up spot held one of the night’s most sensational stories. Aditya ‘Jobamas’ Bagaria, the Masters#114 Grand Master champ from August 2023 and a presence on PokerBaazi since 2018, came incredibly close to his first title of 2025. Bagaria spun up his entry via a ₹1,435 buy-in one-hand satellite! Turning that tiny investment into a life-changing ₹10 Lakhs payday is the stuff poker dreams are made of – his first-ever seven-figure score representing a mind-bending 697x return! This massive win also wiped out nearly two-thirds of his previous platform losses, heralding a major upswing.

Pranav ‘ppz02’ Zarekar from Jalgaon was riding his current of good form, having been on a tear since winning Gold in NPS#124 Marathon. Following wins in the Daily Morning SPRINT and Daily Last Chance last month, Zarekar nearly pulled out a breakthrough win right out of the gate in May. He finished third in #4 The MoneyMaker, locking down a career-high ₹7.37 Lakhs. Combined with small scores in two other BSS flagships, his Sunday total reached nearly ₹7.56 Lakhs.

> 3rd in PokerBaazi’s #4 The MoneyMaker for ₹7,37,000

> 15th in PokerBaazi’s BSS Kickoff for ₹12,752

> 130th in PokerBaazi’s BSS Super Value for ₹5,750

Pranav Zarekar’s PokerBaazi stats: Site Winnings: ₹63.33 Lakhs | Site Profits: ₹16.93 Lakhs | Titles Won in 2025: #6 | Annual Winnings: ₹26.26 Lakhs | Annual Profits: ₹9.81 Lakhs

The MoneyMaker 94.0 final table sprinkled handsome payouts among other upcomers and familiar regs, including ‘Armaansimba’ (4th for a site-best ₹5.71 Lakhs), Ritik ‘Shooterbuzz1234’ Jaiswal (5th for ₹4.59 Lakhs), ‘karanwad7’ (6th for ₹3.48 Lakhs), reigning DPT Xpress Main Event champ and last month’s Adda52 Sunday Head Hunter winner Samyak ‘stonedurrr’ Sethi (7th for ₹2.59 Lakhs), and Jyotindra ‘JacksPaaro’ Dubey (8th for ₹1.88 Lakhs), who, despite solid recent finishes, saw a major title slip away once more.

Despite its heavyweight reputation, the ₹10,000 buy-in The MoneyMaker 94.0 ended up with the biggest overlay in this month-long daily spectacle so far – a landslide ₹17.82 Lakhs short of its ambitious ₹1 Crore guarantee. For the players, however, that shortfall spelt pure value: the top 146 finishers collected at least ₹19,000 for their efforts. With 27 more The MoneyMakers lined up every night this May, Sunday was just the warm-up act. If Day 4 brought this much drama, value, and star power, this will be one heck of a month on the tables!

The first Sunday of May hit PokerBaazi like a tidal wave, buzzing with action, but the headline whispered across the virtual rails wasn’t just about big pots – it was about big overlays. Despite a star-studded lineup featuring the fourth edition of the month-long, ₹1 Crore GTD The MoneyMaker beast and the always-loaded Baazi Super Sunday (BSS) schedule, topped by the ₹50 Lakhs GTD BSS SuperStack, most of the platform’s majors missed their guarantees. The lone soldier holding the fort was the ever-dependable Daily Last Chance, proving its popularity as the late-night grinder’s favourite haunt.

But overlays mean value, and they certainly didn’t stop the sharks from circling and putting up monster numbers. Among the leading names of this hungry pack was Vishal ‘Darky’ Ojha. Already a heavyweight name in Indian poker, Ojha stormed into Sunday’s ₹5,750 buy-in BSS SuperStack riding high from a scorching Friday night performance. Two days earlier, he’d grabbed the championship bracelet in #2 The MoneyMaker and finished runner-up in The Quest, a fiery ₹18.66 Lakh two-punch combo that crowned him last week’s top earner.

High on form, Ojha showed up for the 7:30 PM BSS SuperStack last night and put on another clinic. After an intense eight-hour, forty-five-minute grind through a field of 851 entries (454 unique), he stood tall, taking down the Sunday headliner following a heads-up deal.

That ₹6.95 Lakhs first-place prize wasn’t just cash in the bank but sweet redemption. Ojha had been agonizingly close to taking down this specific Sunday major three times before, settling for second place each time. You could feel this one meant something extra – he wasn’t letting it get away this time.

This victory ticked another major item off Ojha’s PokerBaazi wish list. After finishing third in #25 The MoneyMaker last April, that title had remained just out of reach – until Friday night. Now, shipping both The MoneyMaker and the BSS SuperStack in the same weekend is not just good form; that’s a player operating at peak power!

And Ojha isn’t just collecting wins; he’s crafting a legacy. The Pune-based pro commands respect across the circuit, online and live. A 2023 People’s Poker Championship nominee, he was instrumental in guiding Kolkata Wizards to a runner-up finish in Pocket52 PSL Season 6. He boasts four IOPC titles and is the 2023 Legend Poker Series Super High Roller champion – a win that netted him a massive ₹26.78 Lakhs, still his career-best online score. His influence stretches internationally too; he made history as the first Indian to win a USOP Main Event title in 2023, achieving it with style in Hanoi.

By his lofty standards, 2025 had begun somewhat modestly. He snagged a couple of early wins – PokerBaazi’s WTF in January and The Quest Lite in February – along with runner-up finishes in Adda52’s Iron Man and PokerBaazi’s NPS#120 Wednesday Volley, but nothing that screamed “huge year ahead.”

Well, that has changed. May has kicked off with Ojha making serious noise – near misses in the Daily Last Chance and The Quest, the huge The MoneyMaker win, and now capping it off with the BSS SuperStack victory, all within the first four days!

Two more small cashes in other PokerBaazi majors last night pushed his Sunday earnings past ₹7.26 Lakhs. That put him fourth on the day’s earners list, just behind Natural8 India’s ‘24-7 Tilt,’ and The MoneyMaker top three: Mohit Bohra, Aditya Bagaria, and Pranav Zarekar. This heater also bumps him from #3 to #2 on PokerBaazi’s 2025 POY Leaderboard, putting pressure on the current leader, Advait Rajguru.

> 1st in PokerBaazi’s BSS SuperStack for ₹6,95,351

> 85th in PokerBaazi’s #4 The MoneyMaker for ₹25,000

> 110th in PokerBaazi’s BSS Super Value for ₹5,750

Sharing the spoils via the heads-up deal was ‘RampageR1’ (anonymity requested), a long-time regular from Gujarat who fired three bullets for their shot. This wasn’t a one-off deep run; they’d just made the final table of The Pride last week. A Bronze Medallist from the 2025 NPS#72 Knockout (KO), ‘RampageR1’ collected a personal-best ₹5.55 Lakhs from the deal – nearly 1.4 times their previous high score on PokerBaazi! Adding two more cashes, their Sunday take-home tipped just over ₹5.74 Lakhs.

> 2nd in PokerBaazi’s BSS SuperStack for ₹5,54,649

> 29th in PokerBaazi’s BSS Super Value for ₹13,750

> 28th in PokerBaazi’s BSS Kickoff for ₹5,614

Third place belonged to ‘donkabomber2’ (anonymity requested), a player from Maharashtra who stormed the podium after two well-placed entries. They added ₹3.69 Lakhs to the war chest from the BSS SuperStack (their second-best score on PokerBaazi). They chipped in another ₹4,200 from the (6-Max) BSS SPRINT (53rd), bringing their total Sunday score climb above ₹3.73 Lakhs to make some serious recovery after a daunting downswing.

The BSS SuperStack final table was predictably stacked with familiar faces from the Indian poker scene. Anurag ‘Pokerstars’ Dayal claimed fourth for ₹2.86 Lakhs. Birthday boy Young Gun Anmol ‘anzzzzz’ Mehta, who had graced The MoneyMaker 92.0 final table on Friday, kept the celebration rolling with ₹2.31 Lakhs for fifth. Sixth place and ₹1.80 Lakhs went to NPS#142 Marathon Gold Medallist Dhaval ‘TheMaHaKaL’ Solanki. Umang ‘dejavupoker’ Kedia followed in seventh for ₹1.35 Lakhs, while Sreekanth ‘n0thing’ Narayan, the NPS India 2025 Kerala State Leaderboard champ and NPC finale runner-up, rounded out the FT in eighth, earning ₹1 Lakh.

Mirroring most of PokerBaazi’s majors last night, and despite the star power deep in the tournament, the BSS SuperStack recorded a steep ₹7.45 Lakhs overlay, falling short by nearly 15%. The value proposition was undeniable: the top 138 finishers pocketed at least ₹10,000, almost 1.7 times the buy-in, giving the Sunday grinders plenty of extra incentive. With May just kicking off, Ojha firing on all cylinders, and overlays adding extra spice, the coming weeks on PokerBaazi are guaranteed to be explosive!

Final Table Results

1. Vishal ‘Darky’ Ojha – ₹6,95,351*

If April on PokerBaazi was all about that sweet TDS-free cashout value, May’s already cranking up the heat with value of a different flavour – overlays galore! Last night, amidst a stacked lineup of big-ticket Sunday flagships offering bonus money, the ₹25 Lakhs GTD BSS Super Value wasn’t just another tournament; it was a nine-hour-plus marathon packed with opportunity. And Ankush ‘ank4u’ Narang didn’t just participate; he seized the moment, taking it down with authority!

Narang, who snapped a three-month dry spell two weeks ago by winning the Daily Last Chance, showed it wasn’t a one-off. He jumped into the 5 PM BSS Super Value (the best value tournament on the BSS schedule) and didn’t look back, navigating the field to take it down for the first time, notching up his third title for the year. It was a proper marathon – 1,055 hopefuls (531 unique) duking it out for over nine hours, demanding focus the whole way. Narang kept his cool through it all, eventually striking a heads-up deal that put ₹3.12 Lakhs into his pocket. That’s his best score of 2025 so far and his third-biggest haul ever on PokerBaazi – it looks like he’s back in the groove.

Ankush Narang online stats (excluding Natural8 India and Junglee Poker): Lifetime Winnings: ₹1.11 Crores | Lifetime Profits: ₹22.33 Lakhs | Titles Won in 2025: #3

The endgame was a nail-biter. Online regular Sreeharsha ‘yUDdam’ Boneni – who reached the final table of this event in January – came incredibly close to ending his two-month title drought (since a mid-March victory in Adda52’s MMA Mystery Bounty). Deep in the BSS Super Value grind, Boneni fought hard, eventually agreeing to the heads-up deal that awarded him an equally striking ₹3.08 Lakhs – his best score for 2025. Adding two more deep runs on Adda52, Boneni’s session concluded with nearly ₹3.20 Lakhs flowing into his account.

> 2nd in PokerBaazi’s BSS Super Value for ₹3,08,303* (heads-up deal)

> 21st in Adda52’s MMA Main Event for ₹10,835

The BSS Super Value wasn’t just a two-horse race; the final table was loaded with players eager for a big score. Rishabh ‘rgeader’ Gupta, last month’s Blockbuster Lite champ who recently hit back-to-back final tables in the Godfather and Blockbuster, kept his hot streak alive with a solid third-place finish worth ₹1.83 Lakhs. Prince ‘NaNki’ Singh, the NPS#5 Inaugural Gold Medallist and a recent #1 The MoneyMaker finalist, followed up in fifth, banking ₹1.07 Lakhs. And Habil ‘Habz420’ Jiruwala, last month`s The Big Show Lite winner, rounded out the official final table in eighth place for ₹46,500.

Falling in line with the dominant Sunday trend on PokerBaazi, the ₹2,500 buy-in BSS Super Value also came up short of its ambitious ₹25 Lakhs guarantee, missing the target by ₹2.06 Lakhs. But that overlay translated into bonus value for the grinders who went deep. The top 137 players made it past the money bubble, with even the min-cash paying out ₹5,750 – more than double the initial buy-in! The summer action is heating up on India’s leading online poker platform with The MoneyMaker madness setting the tempo and the daily flagships like this one bringing serious heat (and value) every night.

Sunday wasn’t just another day on the virtual felt; it was a full-on poker deluge. PokerBaazi’s major tournaments were a digital stampede for glory, while Adda52 went all-in with a packed schedule of Sunday specials, capped off by the high-stakes finale of its ₹1.50 Crores GTD Masterminds Arena Bounty Series. And right there, cutting through the noise, was Aditya ‘a_sushant’ Sushant – a name synonymous with Indian poker history, who seems to be perpetually positioned where the big money decisions happen these days.

This isn’t just any player. We’re talking about India’s first WSOP bracelet winner, a poker beast who has conquered The MoneyMaker not once but twice. Sushant entered the weekend already riding a wave, having captured his fifth career victory in Adda52’s The Ballers three days ago. Add a standout performance at the NPS India 2025, where a late surge saw him topping the Tamil Nadu State Leaderboard and finishing eighth in the historic National Poker Showdown in Goa mere weeks ago. It’s clear the Chennai-based poker legend wasn’t planning on hitting the brakes.

His journey through 2025 reads like a highlight reel of deep runs and consistent pressure. Following his striking NPS India 2025 showing, Sushant kicked off April by taking down PokerBaazi’s Daily Last Chance. What followed was a cascade of near misses and strong finishes – seven final table appearances in the subsequent weeks. Now, days into May, he’s already added two flagship victories to his scorching run!

Sushant saved his biggest statement for Adda52’s ₹35 Lakhs GTD MMA Main Event. This weekend beast drew 1,316 entries across its nine starting flights (coming up notably short of the guarantee), funnelling 159 hopefuls into the 10 PM finale. All these survivors had already locked up a cash, but all eyes were on the top prize. As the blinds escalated and the pressure cooker environment intensified, Sushant remained a picture of composure. There was no overt flashiness, no loud declarations – just the quiet, methodical dismantling of opponents that veteran players recognise as table control.

When the final card fell, Sushant stood alone, the title his, along with a handsome ₹3.74 Lakhs added to his account (₹7,440 in bounties), putting a decisive cap on the week-long series. For most players, that victory alone would define a highly successful night. But Sushant, playing in his characteristic style, had more hands to play.

He went on a scoring spree across PokerBaazi and Adda52, navigating deep into six other major tournaments on these platforms. His Sunday session wasn’t just profitable but a masterclass in grinding out value. By the time he logged off, the night’s work had netted him a total haul north of ₹4.37 Lakhs. That kind of performance keeps the hot streak screaming and vaults his name up the rankings. He’s now parked at #17 on PokerBaazi’s 2025 POY list, and with the summer grind stretching out before us, expect to see his name in lights again very soon.

> 1st in Adda52’s MMA Main Event for ₹3,66,780

> 82nd in PokerBaazi’s #4 The MoneyMaker for ₹30,000

> 77th in PokerBaazi’s BSS SuperStack for ₹15,000

> 41st in Adda52’s Mystery Bounty for ₹7,070

> 10th in Adda52’s MMA Highroller PKO for ₹6,352

> 101st in PokerBaazi’s BSS Super Value for ₹5,750

> 49th in PokerBaazi’s (6-Max) BSS SPRINT for ₹5,700

While Sushant rightfully captured the headlines with his title run, another story unfolded just one spot away. ‘Ace2311,’ a familiar face on Adda52 since October 2022, stormed back to the tables after a brief four-day hiatus — and made it count. Playing with focus and determination, ‘Ace2311’ navigated the large MMA Main Event field expertly, getting closer to a potential maiden title. Although the top spot remained just out of reach, the outcome was far from disappointing. A runner-up finish yielded a payout of ₹2.76 Lakhs (₹9,600 in bounties) – easily their largest score ever on the platform. To give that context, this single prize is nine times larger than their previous best result on Adda52. It delivered a massive boost to their platform profits and built momentum for future campaigns as the online action ramps up this summer.

The MMA Main Event final table itself was a gallery of poker prowess, featuring seasoned campaigners like last week’s Spartan Poker Spotlight winner, the dependably performing Myron ‘zzzzz369’ Pereira (3rd for ₹2.03 Lakhs), Abhishek ‘abhisekchem86’ Mandal (5th for ₹1.07 Lakhs), the always-present Jatin ‘jatin2929’ Sablani (6th for ₹74,801), and former The MoneyMaker champion Himanshu ‘pirateking7’ Arora (7th for ₹56,482).

The MMA Main Event, particularly attractive with its ₹2,220 entry point, made for one of the sweetest value propositions anywhere. It registered a glaring ₹8.68 Lakhs overlay against its ₹35 Lakhs guarantee – a shortfall close to an astonishing 25%. This translated directly into extra value for the 159 players who reached the money stage, each taking home at least ₹4,733 before even considering any bounties they snagged along the way. It was a fittingly rewarding end to another high-octane Sunday grind on India’s longest-serving online poker platform!

While PokerBaazi’s big guns were booming last night, the action wasn’t confined to just one stage. Over on Adda52, the virtual felt was scorching! Between the usual Sunday powerhouses and the climactic finale of the MasterMinds Arena Bounty Series, the platform served up a high-voltage Sunday that kept grinders on their toes. Right in the middle of this storm, Rising Star Aman ‘karmapoker’ Parakh decided to deliver a powerful reminder of why his name is consistently cropping up in all the right places.

The Chittaurgarh-based pro snapped a ten-week victory silence with a dominant performance in the Adda52 Millions just last week. Last night, Parakh showed up like a man on a mission, leaving zero doubt about his current form. He again conquered the ₹25 Lakhs GTD Sunday flagship, stitching together incredible back-to-back wins on an already red-hot poker resume.

Parakh’s run of form hasn’t just been good — it’s been relentless. April alone saw him reach eight final tables, including runner-up finishes in The Sundowner on Adda52 and Daily Last Chance & Big PLO-5 on PokerBaazi. He came knocking in NPS India 2025 too, with a Silver Medal in NPS#48 Megadive and a strong fourth-place finish in NPS#191 Main Event — both runs could’ve gone all the way with just a few cards breaking differently.

The 9 PM Adda52 Millions, with its ₹11,500 buy-in, attracted a field of 100 players who, along with 98 re-entries and seven rebuys, built a total field of 205 entries. After hours of relentless action and the kind of swings that test anyone’s mettle, Parakh was the last man standing. He claimed the title for the second Sunday running, banking a handsome ₹4.97 Lakhs in the process.

And his Sunday wasn’t just about that one win. Parakh stayed busy across platforms, adding three more deep runs to his tally. By the time the night was over, his bankroll had swelled by a sizzling ₹5.40 Lakhs-plus.

When the spotlight is harshest and a major final table takes shape, you can bet Young Gun Gaurav ‘gaug17’ Sood will be nearby. The three-time Player of the Year, the undisputed king of online winnings, the player many consider the benchmark in Indian poker. When Sood gets deep, you pay attention.

Coming off a strong week with runner-up finishes in Adda52’s Godfather and PokerBaazi’s Big PLO-5, Sood carried that sharp focus into Sunday. And true to form, he got involved in the big ones.

First, he navigated the MMA Highroller PKO on Adda52, reaching heads-up before settling for second place again, adding ₹1.03 Lakhs (including bounties) to his session winnings. Then came the big one – the Adda52 Millions, an event Sood has historically owned with a record 11 titles —another stacked field, another deep run… and another near miss. Sood found himself heads-up once more, finishing second again for ₹3.68 Lakhs. Two major runner-up finishes and three other cashes across sites – India’s poker G.O.A.T. finished the day nearly ₹4.94 Lakhs richer, clearly demonstrating he’s in top gear, even if the titles played hard to get last night!

Sunday nights are for the killers, and the Adda52 Millions final table was proof positive. It was absolutely loaded with top-tier talent, including IPPA streamer and community manager Ashutosh ‘akp125602’ Kumar (3rd for ₹2.73 Lakhs), NPC finalist Ankit ‘d00mtr00p3r’ Wadhawan (5th for ₹1.50 Lakhs), last week’s Godfather winner and POY #5 Rajneesh ‘rajneesh620’ Thakur (6th for ₹1.11 Lakhs), Saturday’s Blockbuster champ Young Gun Ashwin ‘Ashwinvijay1399’ Vijayvergiya (7th for ₹82,054), and the scorching hot Young Gun Sanat ‘mehro2511’ Mehrotra (8th for ₹60,776), who was third on the weekly charts last week.

Like other Adda52 majors last night, the Adda52 Millions offered significant extra value, falling a glaring ₹4.50 Lakhs short of its ₹25 Lakhs guarantee – an 18% overlay! Despite the shortfall for the house, the flagship still drew a crowd of high-stakes players eager for that value. With the top 31 players making the money, everyone who cashed collected at least ₹27,189 – more than double the buy-in. All in all, it was another rewarding, value-heavy Sunday grind for those mixing it up on Adda52.

Adda52 hasn’t taken its foot off the gas since April, and this past Sunday was another prime example of the platform firing on all cylinders. The schedule was loaded, featuring the ever-popular Adda52 Millions alongside the grand finales of the ₹1.50 Crores GTD Masterminds Arena Bounty Series – headlined by the MMA Main Event and the MMA Highroller PKO. Sharing the spotlight was the increasingly popular ₹25 Lakhs GTD Mystery Bounty (which has taken the place of the Sunday Head Hunter), signalling Adda52’s clear push for this exciting format introduced in March!

Kicking off at 8 PM, 461 hopefuls (185 unique) dove into the Mystery Bounty showdown, each chasing not only the hefty standard payouts but also the potentially game-changing mystery bounty prizes lurking within the pool. The atmosphere was electric, virtual chips flew across the tables, and the clock relentlessly ticked down as the high-stakes drama played out.

After hours of intense grinding, one name rose above the fray: Anmol ‘ace10’ Narang. Formerly seen in #PokerStarsIndia’s social media campaigns and a former #TheMillionaire champion, Narang has been knocking on the door recently, with a fifth-place finish in last Sunday’s PokerBaazi (6-Max) BSS SPRINT and an eighth place in Wednesday’s PokerBaazi The Pride. Last night, he kicked that door down, capturing his third title of 2025 in the Mystery Bounty and ending a precise six-week gap since his Junglee Poker JK#8 victory in late March (his last Adda52 win dates back to mid-December’s Sunday Big Slick).

He didn’t just scrape by; he put on a clinic. Narang stormed past the competition with a blend of sharp aggression and well-timed plays, leaving a string of contenders behind. His performance earned him his second-best score ever on the platform, a significant ₹3,81,150, heavily boosted by a massive ₹1.56 Lakhs collected purely from bounties. (His top Adda52 score remains his third-place finish in the Mega Millions from June 2024).

Narang’s Sunday efforts didn’t stop there; adding two more deep runs on Adda52 brought his total for the day to over ₹4.18 Lakhs.

And then there was Mohit ‘FloatingMonkey’ Bohra – the man whose name is currently echoing throughout the Indian poker scene, the nation’s first-ever National Poker Champion. Bohra came incredibly close to making it two titles in one night, finishing as the runner-up in this Mystery Bounty for ₹3,96,456. That sum was massively inflated by pulling a stunning ₹2,31,506 in bounties after firing two determined entries. While he narrowly missed the Mystery Bounty crown, Sunday night was still monumental for Bohra. He also etched his name into The Money Maker legacy by winning the #4th edition on PokerBaazi for a jaw-dropping ₹15 Lakhs. With two more ITM finishes, Bohra wrapped up Sunday over ₹19.11 Lakhs richer, enough to place him second on the day’s overall earnings list. The 26-year-old from Gujarat is truly making waves!

> 32nd in Adda52’s MMA HighrollerPKO for ₹8,876* (₹5,500 in bounties)

Gopal ‘TheAceCrown’ Bajaj has been on an absolute tear this weekend. Following up a runner-up finish in Friday’s Adda52 The Ballers, another runner-up in Saturday’s PokerBaazi #3 The MoneyMaker, and a third place in Saturday’s Adda52 Stack Attack, he continued his plunder on Sunday. He finished third in the Mystery Bounty, walking away with a massive ₹6,02,949 (including a whopping ₹4.82 Lakhs in bounties), thanks to snagging some of the largest mystery prizes available. Adding deep runs in two other Adda52 events meant the day’s work amounted to nearly ₹6.13 Lakhs. Looking at his entire weekend, Bajaj collected a phenomenal ₹20.80 Lakhs. He is running hotter than asphalt in May right now!

The Mystery Bounty final table featured several other action players making deep runs. The MoneyMaker 93.0 finalist Debneil ‘NoobNeil’ Mukherjee (4th for ₹94,396 incl. ₹5,771 bounties), Chirag ‘cs56’ Sodha (5th for ₹86,376 incl. ₹21,414 bounties), Bijay ‘jarvis590’ Sarkar (6th for ₹47,617), and satellite-qualifier Kiran ‘mannu425’ Ainala (7th for ₹40,038 incl. ₹5,135 bounties).

Consistent with the other Adda52 flagships on Sunday, the ₹5,750 buy-in Mystery Bounty offered extra value to the tune of a ₹1.95 overlay. The top 71 finishers made the money, each collecting at least ₹5,941 before even factoring in any bounties snatched along the way. With these player-friendly overlays and the apparent embrace of engaging tournament formats, Adda52 delivered a weekend overflowing with action and solid value for everyone involved.
