Online Rankings: Sahil Nevatiya Blasts to Weekly Leaderboard Top Spot, Aman Parakh Maintains Monthly Reign; Sahil Agarwal’s POY Lead Hanging by a Thread

In this feature, we bring you to the top three weekly, monthly, and yearly performers every Sunday. These rankings are based on cumulative winnings (cashes). However, the rankings only include players registered to our online ranking system, so hurry up and register if you haven’t signed up on PokerGuru yet!

 

India’s online poker scene is a raging wildfire! The final stretch of PokerBaazi’s National Poker Series India 2024 and the fiery Natural8 India schedule have sent leaderboard rankings into chaos, with more turmoil expected after a blockbuster Sunday.

Veteran Sahil Agarwal (annual winnings – ₹1.41 Crore) may still wear the POY crown, but his ten-week dominance hangs by a thread. A monster January Mystery Bounty score on Natural8 India fueled his rise, but rivals are circling like sharks. Eight have cracked the ₹1 Crore mark in annual winnings!

Poker legend Gaurav Sood (annual winnings – ₹1.26 Crore), a three-time POY, is staging a ferocious comeback. This Young Gun`s maiden NPS Gold Medal in NPS#92 HighRoller and other major scores have catapulted him into second on the POY leaderboard and third for annual profits. Meanwhile, February’s #2, Tanmay Benara (annual winnings – ₹1.24 Crore), has seized third in the POY race and second spot for yearly profits.

March’s leaderboard tells a story of relentless ambition. Rising Star Aman Parakh (monthly winnings – ₹70.68 Lakhs) is the undisputed king, fueled by a historic repeat victory in the India Turbo Masters Main Event and unwavering NPS dominance. Gaurav Sood (monthly winnings – ₹54.66 Lakhs) is a relentless pursuer, while Tanmay Benara (monthly winnings – ₹51.04 Lakhs), on a hot streak after his Millionaire VII triumph, maintains momentum in third place.

This week, Natural8 India’s PLO beast Sahil Nevatiya (weekly winnings – ₹43.19 Lakhs) claimed the throne! NPS#99 Mini Main Event champion Subhojit Roy (weekly winnings – ₹30.06 Lakhs) stakes his claim in second place, with the Mini Main Event silver medallist Areyann Gurbaxani (weekly winnings – ₹22.57 Lakhs) proving his mettle in third!

Yearly Online Rankings

1. Sahil Agarwal

Yearly Cashes – ₹1,41,43,278

Yearly Profit – ₹1,39,00,000

Sahil Agarwal has defended his Player of the Year crown with an iron fist for nine consecutive weeks. His reign began with a legendary bounty haul – a ₹1.40 Crore score in Natural8 India’s Mystery Bounty 525 Bounty Hunters Mystery HR [WGS Closer] that left his rivals reeling. Suddenly, he was the undisputed king of the annual leaderboard, boasting an awe-inspiring ₹1.41 Crore in winnings and a jaw-dropping ₹1.39 Crore in pure profit. Agarwal’s POY fortress seemed impenetrable.

But his continued absence from the felt has created an opening. Rivals are circling, sensing an opportunity to seize the coveted POY crown. Unless Agarwal returns to the online tables soon to add to this tally, his reign may soon be nothing but a fading memory.

NPS India 2024 Podium Leaderboard Standings After Day 16

The NPS India 2024 Podium Leaderboard is exploding with tension! Two poker titans, Deepak ‘3streakbluff’ Singh and Young Gun Abhishek ‘addysonu’ Sonu, stand deadlocked at the top with 32 points apiece. This intense battle for supremacy promises a thrilling final stretch!

Deepak Singh is setting a blistering pace. He’s the player to beat with an incredible double Gold in NPS#76 Big Knockout (PKO) and NPS#73 (PLO-6) Deepdive, on top of a previous Gold and Bronze. Can anyone dethrone this powerhouse?

But Abhishek Sonu is hot on his heels, matching Singh’s intensity with three Gold Medals and a Bronze of his own. His hunger for victory is palpable – will he make his move and snatch the top spot?

And don’t underestimate the competition! Samay ‘SamaySinghModi’ Singh Modi, a previous chart-topper, lurks in third place with three Gold Medals. He’s ready to reclaim his position at the summit.

Meanwhile, Rising Star Aman Parakh keeps the pressure on. Adding another Silver Medal to his collection (which already includes two Golds and one Silver), he now sits at #4 with 30 points. His consistent performance makes him a threat no one can ignore.

The Podium Leaderboard is a powder keg of potential! Contenders like Manish Lakhotia, Shivam Kumar Dubbey, and Gautam Rohila are all poised for a potential upset. One Gold Medal win could completely rewrite the leaderboard and leave us with a surprise new leader.

Online Rankings: Gaurav Sood Seizes Weekly Spotlight & Aman Parakh Holds Monthly Crown; Sahil Agarwal’s POY Dominance Under Threat

In this feature, we bring you to the top three weekly, monthly, and yearly performers every Sunday. These rankings are based on cumulative winnings (cashes). However, the rankings only include players registered to our online ranking system, so hurry up and register if you haven’t signed up on PokerGuru yet!

 

The Indian online poker arena is ablaze with action, and PokerBaazi`s National Poker Series India 2024 has ignited an inferno, throwing the leading rankings into thrilling chaos!

Veteran Sahil Agarwal (annual winnings – ₹1.41 Crore) still clings to his POY dominance after a monstrous January Mystery Bounty score on Natural8 India, but his nine-week reign faces a fiery challenge. With four rivals cracking the ₹1 Crore mark in annual winnings and others hungry for the crown, Agarwal’s absence from the tables leaves his lead vulnerable.

Three-time POY, poker royalty Gaurav Sood (annual winnings – ₹1.11 Crore), has ignited a comeback! This Young Gun went ballistic on Friday, crushing the NPS#92 HighRoller Gold and NPS#93 Marathon Silver to skyrocket into second place in the POY race. Sashank Chakravarthy (annual winnings – ₹1.10 Crore), the online force who’s held the #2 position for months, desperately fends off Sood’s relentless onslaught in third place.

March’s leaderboard explodes with a different kind of energy! Rising Star Aman Parakh (monthly winnings – ₹57.47 Lakhs) is the undisputed king, buoyed by a repeat win in the India Turbo Masters Main Event and his unwavering NPS dominance. Gaurav Sood (monthly winnings – ₹39.84 Lakhs) snaps at Parakh’s heels, propelled by his Friday takedowns. The determined Avneesh Munjal (monthly winnings – ₹38.68 Lakhs) stubbornly clings to third, his NPS#26 Wednesday Volley Gold a shining beacon.

This week belongs to Gaurav Sood (weekly winnings – ₹21.21 Lakhs)! His Friday rampage catapulted him to the top. Sagar Raj (weekly winnings – ₹20.39 Lakhs) trails closely in second, while Deepak Singh (weekly winnings – ₹19.27 Lakhs) earns his place at third with a double NPS Gold victory on Wednesday.

Yearly Cashes – ₹1,41,43,278

Yearly Profit – ₹1,39,00,000

Like a poker king defending his throne, Sahil Agarwal has held the Player of the Year (POY) top spot for nine relentless weeks.
