Mandar ‘MAMA04’ Madaye painted poker tables with a comeback masterpiece on Adda52 last night! Dominating the ₹30 Lakhs GTD Adda52 Millions, he snagged his first-ever win in this Sunday classic with laser-focused skill. His victory earned him an astounding ₹6.84 Lakhs – his biggest payday on the platform and more than double his previous best, all on just two entries!

In the 8 PM Adda52 Millions, Madaye crushed a field of 179 battle-hardened opponents (359 entries total) in an epic 9.5-hour showdown. But he wasn’t done! An additional deep run in the NPS#99 Mini Main Event (662nd for ₹15,600) bumped his Sunday haul to a staggering ₹7 Lakhs!
