NPS India 2024 Series Leaderboard Standings After Day 8

The NPS India 2024 Series Leaderboard is ablaze with action as Day 8 concludes, showcasing a fierce battle for poker supremacy. The top spots are hotly contested, with seasoned veterans and breakout stars vying for the coveted title, and it’s still anyone’s game.

Rising Star Aman ‘KarmaPoker’ Parakh continues his remarkable reign as NPS Series Leaderboard leader for the fifth consecutive day. Parakh exploded onto the scene last Wednesday, snatching double Gold Medal victories in NPS#22 (5-Max) Hyper SPRINT and NPS#27 Slamdunk. Since then, he’s been a model of consistency, securing a final table finish in NPS#31 (PLO-5) and an additional 19 cashes. His unwavering performance has propelled him to a commanding lead with 14,108 points, and his lifetime tally of eight NPS medals speaks to his unwavering skill and determination. However, despite his dominance, Parakh sits in 2nd place on the NPS Podium Leaderboard, suggesting fierce competition is lurking close behind.

Samay ‘SamaySinghModi’ Singh Modi is undoubtedly the breakout star of this NPS series. His meteoric rise has seen him secure the coveted #2 spot on the NPS Series Leaderboard, boasting a staggering 11,850 points and an astounding 45 cashes in 57 events. Modi’s adaptability and relentless drive are his greatest assets, earning him the top position on the NPS India Podium Leaderboard. Three dazzling Gold Medal victories in NPS#37 (7-Max) Deepdive, NPS#28 (6-Max) SPRINT, and NPS#3 (5-Max) Hyper SPRINT solidify his status as a formidable contender.

Fresh off his recent victories – including a Gold Medal in last week’s NPS#10 (PLO-4), a Silver Medal in NPS #35 (6-Max) SPRINT, and a Bronze in NPS #29 Relay – Shivam Kumar Dubey returns to form with yet another Silver Medal in last night`s NPS#52 Sunday Kickoff. This latest triumph propelled him to third place on both the NPS Series (11,742 points) and NPS Podium (22 points) Leaderboards, demonstrating his knack for adapting to various formats and his unwavering competitive spirit.

NPS India 2024 Podium Leaderboard Standings After Day 8

The NPS India 2024 Podium Leaderboard is a poker battlefield, and Samay ‘SamaySinghModi’ Singh Modi is the reigning champion! After Day 8, he’s still the one to beat, holding onto the top spot for two straight days with a dominating 30 points. Modi’s historic hat-trick of Gold Medals – in NPS#37 (7-Max) Deepdive, NPS#28 (6-Max) SPRINT, and NPS#3 (5-Max) Hyper SPRINT – cements his place in NPS history, bringing his overall Gold count to a staggering five!

NPS Series Leaderboard leader Rising Star Aman ‘KarmaPoker’ Parakh is hot on Modi’s heels. He may have slipped to #2 on the Podium Leaderboard, but this poker powerhouse is still a force to be reckoned with. Two previous Golds and a Silver Medal have him sitting pretty with 25 points. With eight career NPS medals under his belt, Parakh’s not going down without a fight.

Shivam ‘daddyaddy’ Kumar Dubey is the comeback kid! This relentless player keeps adding to his medal collection – a Gold, a Bronze, and two Silvers have catapulted him into a tie for #3 place with 22 points. His adaptability across formats makes him a dangerous opponent.

Watch out for Abhishek ‘addysonu’ Sonu – this Young Gun is blazing a trail! Two Golds and a Bronze have him tied for #3 on the NPS Podium Leaderboard with Dubey. His rise has been meteoric, and he’s hungry for more.

‘aditya2596’ (Won ₹4 Lakhs GTD (7-Max) Midnight SPRINT for ₹71,450), ‘pkstar5’ (Won ₹1 Lakh GTD PLO-6 Daily for ₹40,360), ‘onewhoknocks5’ (Won ₹1 Lakh GTD 6-Max SPRINT for ₹20,750), and Parth ‘PapuLasith’ Shah (Won ₹1 Lakh GTD Midnight SPRINT for ₹20,460) won the other Sunday marquees on PokerBaazi.
