Daily Majors: Archit Dhadwal, Ankit Wadhawan, Tanmay Benara & Dhirendra Kumar Make a Dazzling Thursday Run
The overlay woes for poker operators seem to have eased considerably, as Thursday offered an exciting day of MTT gameplay. With PokerBaazi’s PLO Championship and PokerStars India’s Anniversary Special Boosted GTD Tournaments underway, the day’s events were packed with action, and top regulars took the lead.
The excitement doesn’t stop there – PokerBaazi’s ₹3+ Crore GTD Indian Micro Poker Series Gold Edition commences this Sunday, followed by the Fantastic Five edition of The MoneyMaker in May.
Last month’s The Mint champion, Aarchit Dhadwal (opted out of tracking), made the Thursday headlines after winning Adda52`s Godfather for ₹6.12 Lakhs. Vinayak Bajaj narrowly missed out on a second Godfather title, finishing in second place for ₹3.62 Lakhs (won ₹4.35 Lakhs overall).
The #6 ranked player in the all-time winnings on our tracked database, Ankit Wadhawan, broke an extended six-week-long title jinx by taking down Spartan Poker’s Thursday High Roller. He won the tournament for the second time after a year for ₹5.50 Lakhs, storming to #4 in the POY race. Last Friday’s The Elite winner Omprakash Jureshiya bagged away ₹3.91 Lakhs as the runner-up.
The former India Turbo Masters Main Event champion Tanmay Benara made an explosive comeback after an 11-day break. The top reg accumulated ₹4.49 Lakhs in total earnings from deep runs in three major tournaments, joining the prestigious ‘₹5 Crores Club.’ He most prominently won PokerBaazi’s The Summit for ₹4.12 Lakhs after striking a heads-up deal with Rahul Sengar (2nd for ₹3.40 Lakhs).

Wednesday’s PC#28 (PLO-6) winner, Dhirendra Kumar, amassed ₹4.20 Lakhs in total earnings from top finishes in PokerBaazi’s PC#31 Mini Main Event (1st for ₹3.47 Lakhs) and PC#30 (PLO-6) (4th for ₹72,800). Kumar made a heads-up deal with Hemant Arora in the PC#31 Mini Main Event, the latter walking away with the lion`s share of the prize money – a site-best ₹4.12 Lakhs after winning his ticket through a ₹550 satellite.
Spartan Poker player ‘Shaarang‘ (anonymity requested) has been on an impressive winning streak, with three flagship wins in just six days. After shipping Saturday’s Dynamite DST and Destiny 26.0 on Wednesday, ‘Shaarang’ nailed Spartan Poker’s Ultron for ₹3.56 Lakhs last night. A heads-up deal saw Tuesday’s Bounty Builder HR champion, Harsh Bubna, collecting ₹3.25 Lakhs in second place (won ₹3.30 Lakhs overall).
Ravinder Singh completed the trio of players winning a title on consecutive days. After clinching his first PLO Championship title in PC#25 (PLO-6) on Wednesday, he extended his winning streak by nailing PokerBaazi’s PC#30 (PLO-6) KO last night for ₹1.54 Lakhs, climbing to #8 on the PC leaderboard.
‘shutterbug0003’ (Won PC#32 PLO-5 for ₹1.20 Lakhs) and ‘ajaydevgan’ (Won PC#29 PLO-4 for ₹56,978) won the other PLO Championship tournaments on Thursday.

Daily Majors: Advait Rajguru, Ashutosh Balodhi, Aarchit Dhadwal & Neel Joshi Headline the Tuesday Flagships
After a fortnight of packed action, the remainder of this week will bring some much-needed downtime for the MTT regs, many of whom have taken the opportunity to fly down South to participate in the 2023 WPT Prime Cambodia.
The Tuesday action, although a significant improvement over Monday, was relatively lackluster. However, the micro-stakes players had exciting tournaments to participate in IndiaPlays’ Micro Poker League. And with PokerDangal’s Dangal Micro Value Series starting tomorrow, there will be more value for players at the micro-stakes level.
Advait Rajguru was hands down the Tuesday chartbuster with at least ₹5.35 Lakhs in total winnings from four known scores. Four days after shipping PokerStars India’s MM-28 [KO Low Roller], Rajguru made another victory run in Spartan Poker’s Tuesday High Roller (6-Max), banking ₹4.68 Lakhs – the day’s single-largest score and his fifth title this year. He also FT-ed PokerBaazi’s (7-Max) Daily Sprint (3rd for ₹45,604).

This Week in Poker: February 23 – March 1
In the PokerGuru feature ‘This Week in Poker,’ we bring you the weekly roundup of the most significant online scores by Indian MTT players and the top stories from both the live and online poker circuit. Here are this week’s top stories!
View this post on Instagram
As we enter the third month of the year, the online poker action seems to be picking up pace. After three weeks of relatively slow action, the MTT mania is about to set in with two high-voltage MTT stops, the Final Table Series (March 4 to 13) and National Poker Series (March 6 to 20) just around the corner!
Coming up first will be India Poker Championship`s FTS 4.0 that hits the Spartan Poker client (and other partner sites) from March 4 to 13. Spartan Poker has rolled out FTS-centric freerolls and deposit offers in the run-up to the series. Out of the five FTS Freerolls, two are left with 15 tickets to the series-opener ₹15 Lakhs GTD FTS #1 up for grabs!
For all of you looking for affordable ways to play the upcoming National Poker Series events, PokerBaazi is hosting the “Road to NPS” Mega Satty Series until March 4.
While the National Poker Series will run a stacked 84-event schedule, the final tables of the series’ showstoppers – NPS Main Event, NPS Golden Rush, and NPS Super Highroller – will be held live onboard the PokerBaazi LIVE poker room in Goa. Running alongside the NPS final tables will be the Baazi Poker Tour. The popular live MTT series is returning after a two-year hiatus, and the five-event schedule extends from March 23 to 28. The PokerGuru live coverage crew will be on-site to bring you a blow-by-blow account of all the action. Given that Goa’s COVID expert’s committee has advised removing the 50% capacity restriction on casinos, expectations of a full house at the BPT hold strong.
While we wait for the live MTTs to return, let’s take a look at the week`s top online MTT winners. Arun Sriram was hands down the breakout winner this week. Fresh off winning the 2021 Adda52 Champions Leaderboard and a pro contract worth ₹20 Lakhs, the Bengaluru-based entrepreneur pulled out another stunning run on Sunday. The 38-year-old poker reg down the Adda52 Big Game for an impressive second time this week, banking a site-best ₹19.80 Lakhs. With ₹20.01 Lakhs in weekly winnings, Sriram walks away as our “PokerGuru Star of the Week!”
Shashank Jain, Young Gun Ujjwal Narwal, and Ayush Garg were the week`s other top scorers.
PLO cash game players finally have a good reason to rejoice. MPL Poker is offering an uncapped 50% rakeback across all its mid-to-high stakes PLO cash game tables of ₹50/₹100 and above. The promotion will continue until March 20.
In other promotions, Asia’s largest online poker room, Natural8, is running the $30 Million GTD Bounty Hunters Series until March 13. The poker site has also announced a massive $5 Million GTD Overlay Edition of the GGMasters for March 20.
The ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine has resulted in PokerStars postponing the upcoming EPT Sochi to October.

Daily Majors: Bhushan Sohani, Aman Chauhan, Ashish Kaushik & Pradip Ghosh Make Top Finishes in the Monday Flagships
The electrifying Sunday action is usually followed by lackluster Mondays. Surprisingly, last night, most of the flagships recorded healthy turnouts, especially across Spartan Poker and PokerBaazi!
PokerBaazi’s Road to NPS satellite series has been doing exceptionally well, and the increased traction is definitely helping the turnouts of the other MTTs on the site. The online reg ‘bencb789’ (anonymity requested) topped the Monday charts on PokerBaazi. The player shipped The Big Show for ₹1.88 Lakhs following a heads-up deal with Bhushan Sohani (2nd for ₹1.65 Lakhs).
Aarchit Dhadwal took down Adda52`s Iron Man for ₹1.66 Lakhs after striking a heads-up deal with Aman Chauhan (2nd for ₹1.55 Lakhs).
The former The Millionaire runner-up finisher, Ashish Kaushik, fired two bullets in Spartan Poker’s ReCharge before taking down the event for ₹1.37 Lakhs. Like most of the day`s featured tournaments, here too, an FT deal saw Sunday’s BSS MonsterStack champion Pradip Ghosh (2nd for ₹1.03 Lakhs), Himanshu Aggarwal (3rd for ₹1 Lakhs), and Maddhav Dhir Kohli (4th for ₹93,831) securing comparable payouts.
Mahesh Shyamsundar prevailed in PokerStars India’s Battle Royale, adding ₹1.05 Lakhs to his poker bankroll. Ram Kakkar finished runner-up for ₹54,691.
Also grabbing titles on Monday were Nitin Rawat, Kunal Yadav, Ritesh Kumar, Sandeep Singh Kohli, Md Nazim, Chaitanya Dhingra, and Ashwin Bhanushali.
Here are the Monday highlights!
