Akash Malik, Uttam Gope & Premnath Kasinatharao Make it Rain Riches on Sunday With Million-Plus Scores on Natural8 India and PokerBaazi!

This past Sunday was a frenzy on the virtual felts, with massive scores, thrilling victories, and jaw-dropping action across multiple platforms. Even with some of our top pros battling it out at the EPT Cyprus and APPT Manila Championship, the online action was absolutely insane. PokerBaazi’s 10th Anniversary celebrations rocketed into their penultimate weekend, with The MoneyMaker 89.0 and the stacked Baazi Super Sunday schedule drawing massive crowds.

Meanwhile, Natural8 India’s high-stakes MTTs and the grand finale of Adda52’s Masterminds Arena kept the adrenaline pumping across the virtual felt. And with the mind-blowing DPT Grand just around the corner, the end of October is shaping up to be an epic finale to a thrilling month!

Natural8 India’s ‘Shouryaanga’ was the undisputed king of Sunday, taking down the Zodiac Sunday Main Event for a colossal ₹18.72 Lakhs! This enigmatic player, who impressed earlier this month with a sixth-place finish in Natural8 India’s Daily Special 88, continued their reign of terror, ending Sunday as the biggest winner overall. This victory marks their first title on the platform, their biggest score yet, and their second seven-figure payday on Natural8 India.

Akash Malik had a Sunday to remember, raking in a whopping ₹18.03 Lakhs across six deep runs. This cash game veteran turned tournament beast made a phenomenal debut on Natural8 India, finishing sixth in the Sunday Grande Main Event 250 for a massive ₹9.13 Lakhs. He also came close to clinching another major title in PokerBaazi’s BSS SuperStack but ended as the runner-up, pocketing ₹5.94 Lakhs. And that’s not all! He also conquered Natural8 India’s Sunday Hyper 50 (₹1.90 Lakhs) and finished runner-up in the Daily Hyper 100 (₹69,886), making him the second-highest earner of the day.

Over on PokerBaazi, Uttam Gope took down India’s longest-running single-flight ₹1 Crore guaranteed tournament, The MoneyMaker 89.0! Ending a month-long title drought since his BSS Kickoff win, Gope, who narrowly missed The MoneyMaker victory last month, finally claimed the champion’s bracelet and a career-best ₹15 Lakhs—his first-ever seven-figure score and more than double his previous best score! He amassed a total of ₹15.20 Lakhs for the day, surpassing the ₹50 Lakhs mark in both PokerBaazi profits and annual winnings on the platform. The competition was fierce, with Nishant Kumar, The MoneyMaker 72.0 champion from April, coming in a close second, earning ₹10 Lakhs—his third seven-figure score and second-biggest this year. Kumar also made two more deep runs last night, bringing his total winnings to ₹10.15 Lakhs.

Premnath Kasinatharao made a spectacular debut on Natural8 India, instantly capturing the spotlight. He navigated a challenging field of 1,862 players in the Weekender Omaholic Bounty 54 and emerged victorious, bagging a jaw-dropping ₹12.52 Lakhs.

The excitement continued on Adda52 as Habil Jiruwala, after narrowly missing out on the Big Whale title in August, finally claimed victory for a career-best ₹9.44 Lakhs – his first flagship win on Adda52. Jiruwala also made deep runs in two other tournaments, accumulating total Sunday winnings of ₹9.54 Lakhs. Ankur Sehgal finished a close second in the Big Whale with ₹6.85 Lakhs – his best score on Adda52 this year and accumulating a total of ₹7.64 Lakhs for the day.

Nishaanth Shanmughasundaram also had a great Sunday, adding to his impressive year. Known for his extraordinary ₹1.97 Crore victory in the Beijing Mystery Bounty Millions in June and a recent ₹66.66 Lakhs win in the Bounty Hunters Main EVENT 54, Shanmughasundaram added two more deep runs on Natural8 India, bringing in ₹8.89 Lakhs. These performances have propelled his annual winnings to an astounding ₹3.89 Crores, keeping him locked at #5 in the POY race.

‘bonomo,’ the 2022 APT India Online Championship Event champion, continued his hot streak. Fresh from winning the BSS Super Value two weeks ago and making the final table of The Big Show Lite and the Daily Last Chance, he championed PokerBaazi’s BSS SuperStack, earning ₹6.06 Lakhs after a three-way deal, culminating in total earnings of ₹6.11 Lakhs for the day. Vaibhav Temani, hot on the heels of his last week’s (PLO-6) BSS win, clinched third place for ₹5.67 Lakhs, amassing nearly ₹6.42 Lakhs from five deep runs.

Young Gun Abhishek Sonu, the 1000X Series 4.0 Main Event and #9 The MoneyMaker champion, continued to dominate by taking down PokerBaazi’s BSS Super Value for ₹3.92 Lakhs. Following closely, Kovid Saraswat, the seasoned captain of the Goa Gators in the Pocket52 PSL Season 6, finished runner-up for ₹2.35 Lakhs, elevating his Sunday total to ₹3.59 Lakhs.

Mithun Mahesh, after a series of near-misses, finally broke through in a big way by conquering Adda52’s MMA Main Event, earning ₹4.66 Lakhs after a heads-up deal. With four other deep runs, Mahesh raked in at least ₹6.39 Lakhs. Birthday boy Yash Chitre, who has been on a tear himself, also made big moves, finishing runner-up in the MMA Main Event for ₹4.61 Lakhs and raking in over ₹5.99 Lakhs for the day.

Arun Kumar also made his mark, winning Adda52 Millions for a career-best ₹5.03 Lakhs and adding over ₹6.07 Lakhs in Sunday winnings. WSOP bracelet winner Kartik Ved was close to breaking a two-and-a-half-month dry spell but fell just short, securing second place with ₹3.72 Lakhs and adding ₹4.21 Lakhs overall.

On Junglee Poker, ‘gogomaiya’ clinched victory in the Sunday Special KO, bagging ₹3.73 Lakhs, including ₹2.18 Lakhs in bounties.

Meanwhile, on Pocket52, Mohit Bohra continued his winning streak. Fresh off his win in PokerBaazi’s Daily Last Chance, dominated the Pocket Kings, scooping ₹3.27 Lakhs for the win and bringing his total Sunday earnings to ₹4.19 Lakhs.

Another big draw was the Natural8 India X APT Phu Quoc India Exclusive Tournament! This incredible event sent nine lucky players on an all-expenses-paid trip to Phu Quoc for the ultimate poker adventure. We’re talking flights, accommodations, and a shot at glory in the APT Main Event and Mini Main Event – all worth a whopping ₹15 Lakhs! The final table was a nail-biter, with Kishor Kumar V C, a.k.a. “whyme@,” a relatively unknown player, stealing the show and taking down the tournament for ₹2.10 Lakhs. Romit Advani, captain of the Gujarat Falcons from the Pocket52 PSL Season 6, came agonizingly close but had to settle for second place and ₹1.55 Lakhs. Akhand Shukla rounded out the top three with a respectable ₹1.15 Lakhs.

The other Sunday flagship champions included Shagun Jain (Won Adda52’s Sunday Head Hunter for ₹4.88 Lakhs), ‘jkmaheshwari77’ (Won Adda52’s MMA HighRoller for ₹1.95 Lakhs), Pranav Kshirsagar (Won PokerBaazi’s Daily Last Chance for ₹1.61 Lakhs), Sameer Agarwal (Won PokerBaazi’s (6-Max) BSS SPRINT for ₹1.50 Lakhs), Wilson Yomso (Won PokerBaazi’s BSS KickOff for ₹1.04 Lakhs) and Praveen KR (Won Junglee Poker’s Sunday Special Knockout – Mini for ₹1.33 Lakhs).

PokerBaazi’s 10th Anniversary celebrations are reaching a fever pitch, and the action is hotter than ever! With just 11 days left in the festivities, players are scrambling to grab a piece of the incredible action and experience the unmatched thrills and life-changing opportunities that PokerBaazi is famous for. Sunday night was a prime example of this, with Uttam ‘brokenpocker’ Gope stealing the show by conquering the ₹1 Crore GTD The MoneyMaker, India’s longest-running single-flight ₹1 Crore GTD tournament – the second-to-last edition for the anniversary celebrations.

Gope, a sporadic player on the scene since September 2020, narrowly missed The MoneyMaker victory last month, finishing third for what was then a career-best ₹7.05 Lakhs. But last night, he finally claimed the coveted champion’s bracelet in The MoneyMaker 89.0, ending a month-long title drought since his BSS Kickoff win on September 22. The allure of seven-figure paydays for the top two finishers drew a crowd of 959 contenders (548 unique) to the 6 PM Sunday showstopper. After an intense eight-hour and 24-minute battle, Gope came out on top, snagging a career-best ₹15 Lakhs payday – his first-ever seven-figure score and more than double his previous best score!

Gope’s dominance didn’t stop there. He also made a deep run in PokerBaazi’s BSS Super Value, finishing 13th for an additional ₹20,105. This brought his total winnings for the night to a staggering ₹15.20 Lakhs, making him Sunday’s third-biggest winner, just behind Natural8India user ‘Shouryaanga’ and Akash Malik. These incredible results also helped him surpass the ₹50 Lakhs mark in both PokerBaazi profits and annual winnings on the platform.

PokerBaazi’s 10th Anniversary celebrations are nearing the finish line, but the action is still red-hot! Last night, regular ‘bonomo’ (anonymity requested) (opted out of our tracking) made serious waves, taking down the ₹50 Lakhs GTD BSS SuperStack for a massive ₹6.06 Lakhs after a three-way deal.

‘bonomo’ has been crushing it lately. With a 2022 APT India Online Championship Event victory and podium finishes in the #3 The MoneyMaker and IPM#57 Big Value under their belt, ‘bonomo’ is no stranger to success. They won the BSS SuperValue two weeks ago and stormed the final table of The Big Show Lite and the Daily Last Chance last week. But last night, they hit it big again, navigating an enormous field of 1,112 entries (597 unique) in the 7:30 PM Sunday headliner. After eight and a half hours of intense poker action, ‘bonomo’ emerged victorious, turning their six bullets into their third-highest PokerBaazi score of the year and their fourth-largest overall.

Adding to the triumph, ‘bonomo’ snagged another ₹5,119 from a 57th-place finish in the Daily Last Chance, pushing their total winnings for the night to a solid ₹6.11 Lakhs.

High-stakes cash game regular Akash ‘UtgWithUrMOM’ Malik has been making a splash in the tournament scene lately, and Sunday was his biggest day yet. He won The Pride and final tabled the Daily Last Chance earlier this month, and he almost took down his second flagship title of the month in the BSS SuperStack last night. He fired four bullets and finished runner-up for ₹5.94 Lakhs from the three-way deal. It looks like this cash game beast is a natural at tournaments too!

But that was just the warm-up! Malik’s biggest score of the day came in Natural8 India’s Sunday Grande Main Event 250. He battled through a field of 1,085 entries and finished sixth for a whopping ₹9.13 Lakhs. And just for good measure, he won the Sunday Hyper 50 for ₹1.90 Lakhs and finished runner-up in the Daily Hyper 100 for ₹69,886 – all on his debut on the platform.

Malik also made deep runs in PokerBaazi`s The MoneyMaker 89.0 (62nd for ₹30,000) and the (6-Max) BSS SPRINT (42nd for ₹5,700), bringing his total haul for the day to over ₹18.03 Lakhs, making him Sunday’s second-biggest earner!

Fresh off his win in last week’s (PLO-6) BSS, Vaibhav ‘vane_shado’ Temani was hungry for his first BSS SuperStack title. He fired three bullets in the primetime event and finished third for ₹5.67 Lakhs after the three-way deal. Temani had a fantastic Sunday, racking up almost ₹6.42 Lakhs in winnings across five deep runs.

With a whopping ₹55.60 Lakhs prize pool, the BSS SuperStack easily surpassed its guarantee. The top 161 finishers walked away with at least ₹9,452—1.6 times the initial buy-in of ₹5,750, keeping PokerBaazi’s 10th Anniversary celebrations going strong!

This poker prodigy has been tearing it up on PokerBaazi lately, and last night, he added another victory to his impressive resume, taking down the ₹25 Lakhs GTD BSS Super Value for a cool ₹3.92 Lakhs!

Just eight days after crushing the Daily Last Chance, Sonu, known for his big wins in the 1000X Series 4.0 Main Event and #9 The MoneyMaker, proved he’s a force to be reckoned with. He ransacked a fierce field of 621 players (1,201 total entries) in the 5 PM flagship event with three bullets, arguably the best value tournament of the day. It was a tough crowd, but with his signature style and skill, Sony systematically dismantled the competition in an intense nine-hour battle, claiming his second flagship title this month and an astonishing 13th for the year!

Sonu continued his hot streak by making another final table appearance in the Daily Last Chance (6th for ₹41,470), bringing his total winnings for the session to over ₹4.33 Lakhs!

He made deep runs in five other tournaments, bringing his total winnings for the night to ₹3.59 Lakhs.

He came close to winning his first online title of the year but had to settle for second place, pocketing a still-massive ₹6.85 Lakhs – his best score on Adda52 this year.

Adda52’s ₹1.50+ Crores GTD Masterminds Arena wrapped up on Sunday, and it went out with a bang! With nine tournaments and over ₹57.25 Lakhs in guaranteed prizes, the grand finale was a poker extravaganza. And with over a dozen marquee events running on Adda52 overall, the total guarantees for the day were a phenomenal ₹1.55+ Crores!

But let’s talk about the real star of the show: Mithun ‘Intuitionn’ Mahesh (opted out of our tracking)! This poker coach extraordinaire, who also happens to be the NPS India 2024 Super HighRoller silver medalist, is schooling the competition, proving his lessons aren’t just theoretical. Fresh off a victory with his Deccan Aces crew in the Pocket52 PSL Season 6 (where he also earned the Player of the Season title), Mahesh has been on a tear. He kicked things off on Thursday with a fourth-place finish in PokerBaazi’s The Summit, followed by two runner-up finishes on Friday (in Pocket52’s Pocket Knights and Adda52’s MMA Mini HR) and a third-place finish in Junglee Poker’s Friday Supernova.

And on Sunday, he topped it off by crushing the ₹35 Lakhs GTD MMA Main Event on Adda52! This tournament was a beast, with a ginormous field of 2,296 entries (1,615 unique) across nine starting flights (October 14 – 20). The 283 survivors converged for the finale at 10 PM last night, and Mahesh outlasted them all in an epic five-hour and 39-minute battle, claiming his fifth recorded title of the year and a sweet ₹4.66 Lakhs payday after a heads-up deal.

But Mahesh wasn’t done there! He kept the grind going and added at least four more cashes across different platforms, bringing his total Sunday winnings to over ₹6.39 Lakhs.

Mid-stakes master Yash ‘Babyshark21’ Chitre has been on a flamboyant tear in October (his birthday month), and he continued his hot streak on Sunday, the eve of his birthday. He’s already racked up four titles this month, including wins in Adda52’s MMA MonsterStack, The Ballers, MMA Highroller, and PokerBaazi’s The Summit. He’s also added six podium finishes and three more final tables in other notable tournaments. In the MMA Main Event, he came agonizingly close to another victory, finishing runner-up for an impressive ₹4.61 Lakhs after a heads-up deal with Mahesh. What a way to celebrate a birthday!

Chitre kept the party going and added two more deep runs to his Sunday resume, including a runner-up finish in Adda52’s MMA Monster Stack, bringing his total winnings for the day to over ₹5.99 Lakhs.

The MMA Main Event, with its affordable ₹1,800 buy-in, was a runaway success, generating a ₹35.10 Lakhs prize pool and surpassing its guarantee. With 233 spots paid, everyone who cashed got a piece of the pie, and even a min-cash earned a decent ₹4,981 – almost triple the buy-in! It was a spectacular end to another successful Masterminds Arena series.

Sunday was a massive day for online poker in India, and Arun ‘ShahidKapoorAfridi’ Kumar was among the standouts! This Adda52 loyalist has been on a tear lately, with at least one victory every month since February and a string of final-table finishes to boot. He’s been especially crushing it on Adda52, and last night, he added another impressive win to his resume, taking down the ₹25 Lakhs GTD Adda52 Millions for a career-best ₹5.03 Lakhs!

After a string of near misses in the MMA Monster Stack and the Maverick just last week, Kumar finally broke his two-week title drought in style. He battled it out for eight hours and 44 minutes against 148 other players (257 total entries) in the 9 PM Sunday mainstay to claim his first-ever Adda52 Millions title. This victory is extra sweet for Kumar, who had three previous final table finishes in the Adda52 Millions, including two second-place finishes this year. Talk about redemption!

Kumar’s heads-up match-up was a classic David vs. Goliath story. He found himself facing off against none other than WSOP bracelet winner and head honcho of one of India’s most renowned stables, Kartik ‘Pegasus1505’ Ved. But Kumar played his heart out and eventually prevailed.

Ved, who pops up on the online felts every now and then to snag a big score, finished runner-up in the Adda52 Millions for ₹3.72 Lakhs. He was close to breaking a two-and-a-half-month dry spell but fell just short. Still, he had a profitable Sunday, with two other deep runs bringing his total winnings to almost ₹4.21 Lakhs.

The ₹11,500 buy-in Adda52 Millions lived up to its billing, surpassing the advertised guarantee and generating a stunning ₹25.70 Lakhs prize pool.

Pocket52’s ₹5 Crores GTD October Tournament Series has been the talk of the town, and this past Sunday was no exception. The ₹20 Lakhs GTD Pocket Kings attracted a fierce crowd of regulars and top contenders, all hungry for a piece of the prize. But when the smoke cleared, Mohit ‘bazingaaa’ Bohra, the Goan poker shark, stood tall, taking home ₹3.27 Lakhs and his first-ever Pocket Kings title!

Bohra has been on a heater lately, with a win in PokerBaazi’s Daily Last Chance, a final table appearance in Adda52’s Iron Man two weeks ago, and another final table in MMA Mega PKO 8-Max last week. He rode that momentum to victory in the Pocket Kings, dominating the 8 PM headliner and crushing a field of 197 players (371 total entries). This win is his biggest score yet on Pocket52, and it’s proof that Bohra is a beast both live and online.

But Bohra, like a true grinder, was juggling multiple tables across different platforms all night and managed to make deep runs in five other events, bringing his total winnings to over ₹4.19 Lakhs.
