Daily Majors: Natural8 India`s ‘borntrouble’ and ‘Shouryaanga’ Lead the Monday Charge; Rishabh Gupta Champions PokerBaazi’s The Big Show
After an explosive opening Sunday to 2025, Monday was all about setting the tone for another action-packed week. But let’s be real, there was no rest for the wicked! Natural8 India once again emerged as the battleground for some of the most intense showdowns, delivering two of the day’s biggest winners. PokerBaazi wasn’t far behind, keeping the online railbirds entertained with its signature high-octane tournaments. Junglee Poker, Adda52, and Pocket52 also hosted thrilling events that kept the action flowing. With platforms raising the stakes, 2025 is already shaping to be another dynamic year for Indian poker.
Leading the charge on Monday was the enigmatic ‘borntrouble,’ who stormed through the Natural8 India tables like a force of nature. With a staggering ₹18.12 Lakhs in winnings across five impressive finishes, ‘borntrouble’ left no doubt about their intentions for the new year. The highlight of their incredible run was a podium finish in the Snowy SEVENS 77, worth a massive ₹9.63 Lakhs. They also snagged a third-place finish in the High Rollers Bounty Warm-Up 840 for ₹2.60 Lakhs and further solidified their dominance with deep runs in the Bounty Hunters HR 525 (26th for ₹3.50 Lakhs) and the Bounty King Frozen Throne HR 320 (19th for ₹1.43 Lakhs). ‘borntrouble’ ended the night on a high note, adding another ₹96,505 with a 14th-place finish in the Daily Winter Freezeout 250, emerging as the day’s undisputed champion!
Another Natural8 India sensation, ‘Shouryaanga,’ continued their impressive run from December, which included a Merry Monster Stack 250 victory and a sixth-place finish in the Zodiac Goat High Roller. Last night, they locked in a hefty ₹6.15 Lakhs with a runner-up finish in the Zodiac Main Event, becoming the second-highest scorer of the day.
Over at PokerBaazi, Rishabh Gupta reigned supreme. Building on a final table appearance in Sunday’s Pocket Kings, Gupta conquered The Big Show, seizing his first title of 2025 and a ₹5.15 Lakhs payday. This victory marked his fifth-best score on the platform, adding another feather to his cap. Gupta’s hot streak included a podium finish in Adda52’s Iron Man, bringing his total winnings for the day to ₹5.99 Lakhs. Meanwhile, Mithilesh Choubey gave Gupta a run for his money in The Big Show, finishing as the runner-up for a site-best ₹3.09 Lakhs and closed out the day with at least ₹3.13 Lakhs in total winnings from two deep runs!
Back on Natural8 India, 2024 POY runner-up Anant Purohit kept his incredible run going. After dominating the Omaholic 5-Card Bounty 25 and making a deep run in the Bounty Hunters HR Main Event 525 over the weekend, Purohit finished 22nd in the GGMasters Bounty Winter FREEZEOUT 320 for ₹3 Lakhs. With another cash finish in The Big Show, this poker veteran racked up ₹3.10 Lakhs for the day.
Apurv Shah achieved a milestone victory, capturing his first-ever title on PokerBaazi in The Big Show Lite for a personal-best ₹2.14 Lakhs – over four times his previous best score! Sushant Singh, last month`s The Quest winner and WTF finalist, finished second with ₹1.41 Lakhs, bringing his total winnings for the night to over ₹1.58 Lakhs from two deep runs.
Natural8 India’s hyper turbo specialist ‘Wonderwoman6,’ coming off a phenomenal weekend, continued their hot streak with two runner-up finishes in the Daily Hyper 100, racking up ₹1.88 Lakhs in total winnings.
Abhinav Bhanot, who made waves with a ninth-place finish in last month’s WPT#61 Mega Championship, found his rhythm again by winning the PokerBaazi Daily Last Chance for ₹1.81 Lakhs. The mysterious ‘magus‘ finished as the runner-up, earning ₹1.19 Lakhs and added ₹1.22 Lakhs to their poker coffers across four deep runs.
Over at Adda52, Akhil Jain emerged victorious in Iron Man, breaking a two-and-a-half-month title drought with a site-best ₹1.56 Lakhs score. Jain’s consistent grind paid off, as he cashed in six tournaments throughout the day, boosting his total winnings to over ₹1.77 Lakhs. Sagar Raj, finishing as the runner-up in Iron Man for the second time, added ₹1.14 Lakhs to his bankroll and accumulated ₹1.22 Lakhs across two deep runs.

PokerBaazi isn’t just making waves in the Indian poker scene; it’s creating a tidal wave! Fresh off the heels of the roaring WPT India Online series, the action is hotter than ever, with daily tournaments crushing guarantees left and right. Players are hungry to climb the ranks in the POY 2025 Leaderboard, with ₹5 Crores in prizes up for grabs for the top 100 finishers. Monday night saw the ₹30 Lakhs GTD The Big Show take centre stage, igniting a poker frenzy that had everyone talking.
One player rose above the rest in this electrifying showdown: online regular Rishabh ‘Rgeader’ Gupta (opted out of our tracking). Riding a hot streak after a fourth-place finish in Pocket52’s Pocket Kings on Sunday, Gupta was a force of nature on this fateful Monday.
The 8 PM Monday headliner was a feeding frenzy. A monstrous field of 687 entries (375 unique) descended, crushing the guarantee and turning up the heat to an inferno. Gupta’s path to victory was forged in fire. After an early bust, he bought back in, a steely glint of determination in his eye. For eight hours and 13 gruelling minutes, he battled, weaved, and outmanoeuvred a field of hungry sharks, displaying ice-cold composure and razor-sharp skill. When the dust settled, only one man was left standing. Gupta had done it. He clutched his maiden title of 2025 and a massive ₹5.15 Lakhs top prize – his fifth-best score on PokerBaazi.
And that wasn’t all. Gupta almost pulled off an epic double, narrowly missing a second title in Adda52’s Iron Man a few hours earlier. He stormed to a third-place finish, adding another ₹83,807 to his overflowing bankroll. With over ₹5.99 Lakhs in winnings from these two podium finishes, Gupta solidified his place as the day’s third-biggest overall scorer, trailing only the Natural8 India heavyweights ‘borntrouble’ and ‘Shouryaanga.‘
