As the poker community transitioned from a buzzing Sunday, Monday’s online scene presented a more subdued affair, in line with the industry’s trend of scaled-back tournaments and conservative guarantees on the first day of the week. However, ongoing series like Junglee Poker’s ₹3+ Crores GTD Poker Premier League and MPL Poker’s enviable ₹2 Crores GTD Poker Master Series continued to draw the attention of low and mid-stakes players.

The spotlight on Monday was firmly on Neeraj Bajaj, who spectacularly returned to form by conquering PokerBaazi’s The Big Show. Breaking a six-month title drought, Bajaj pocketed a handsome ₹2.29 Lakhs. Hot on his trail was former #BB4 MoneyMaker champion Sumit Advani, who finished in second place with ₹1.77 Lakhs.

On Adda52, a relatively new player, ‘acedestroyer,’ left a lasting impact by outperforming a strong field in Iron Man, securing a substantial ₹1.53 Lakhs, quadrupling their previous best score on the site. New Delhi-based poker phenom Karan Radia finished in second place, earning ₹1.13 Lakhs and cumulatively adding at least ₹1.42 Lakhs for the day.

Upcoming poker sensation Hardik Nair went on a trailblazing run last evening, notching up two distinct victories and amassing ₹1.78 Lakhs from three deep runs. Nair’s winning spree began with a triumph in Pocket52’s Pocket Jacks, where he secured ₹65,229, followed closely by another top finish in Spartan Poker’s Hitman – PKO an hour later, pocketing ₹1.05 Lakhs.

Nair’s final opponents were Lavesh Meena, who took second place in Pocket Jacks for ₹45,816, and Ghanshyam Das Jhangyani, the runner-up in Hitman – PKO, earning ₹81,388.

Over at MPL Poker, Ankit Saxena stood out by taking down the Master Series #53 Monday Madness, bagging ₹1.20 Lakhs.

Mahesh Shyamsundar, Myron Pereira, Raghavendra Hada & Vinayak Bajaj Seize the Sunday Spotlight

Sunday turned into a day of electrifying poker action, with PokerBaazi at the centre of a high-stakes showdown. The platform played host to several BSS-branded tournaments and showcased five exhilarating events from the ₹6 Crores GTD Baazi Value Series.

The poker fervour didn’t stop there. MPL Poker’s grand ₹2.50 Crores GTD Poker Master Series wrapped up in a blaze of glory. To spice things up further, A23 Poker’s tenth ₹20 Lakhs GTD Mega Freeroll, Natural8 India’s ₹8,88,888 GTD Launch Party Freeroll 3, and Junglee Poker’s ₹3+ Crores GTD Poker Premier League events also enthralled players.

However, the dual allure of the Deltin Poker Tournament in Goa and the WPT Vietnam in Hanoi drew players away from the online tables. This resulted in noticeable overlays in many of the day’s tournaments.

The forthcoming week seems poised for standard poker fare, with key attractions being the BVS and Junglee Poker’s Money Magnet, which promises to make a Lakhpati daily.

For Sunday’s poker showdown, Mahesh Shyamsundar outdid himself by ruling PokerBaazi’s BSS Big Bounty (PKO-RE) and amassing an outstanding ₹4.87 Lakhs. His poker prowess was evident as he raked in a staggering ₹7.63 Lakhs from eight cashes. Sonu Shejpal, the former PBC Game Changer champion, secured an impressive runner-up prize of ₹3.44 Lakhs (won ₹3.58 Lakhs overall).

On the other hand, PokerBaazi`s ‘Nongkin1984‘ clinched the (1000X) BSS SuperStack title, pocketing a splendid ₹7.09 Lakhs, while veteran Anant Purohit settled for second place with a prize of ₹5.60 Lakhs, summing up his Sunday haul at ₹5.75 Lakhs.

Amidst the buzz of the DPT Deltin Edition in Goa, local ace Myron Pereira turned heads on Spartan Poker. Pereira clinched top spots in both the Grandmaster (₹4.34 Lakhs) and Super Over (₹2.13 Lakhs), totalling a whopping ₹6.62 Lakhs for the day.

Sagar Raj took the second spot in Grandmaster, earning ₹2.99 Lakhs (won ₹3.23 Lakhs overall), while a heads-up deal in Super Over saw Rishab Malik netting ₹2.11 Lakhs in second place (won ₹2.44 Lakhs overall).

Raghavendra Hada‘s spectacular return saw him reign supreme in PokerBaazi’s BSS Super Value, netting a massive ₹5.62 Lakhs. A final deal had Arbaaz Ahmed close behind with ₹5.03 Lakhs.

RL (anonymity requested) made waves by clinching MPL Poker’s Poker Master Series Main Event title, pocketing a site-best ₹5 Lakhs.

The remaining Poker Master Series titles were snagged by Shyamsundar (Won Master Series #101 Big Bucks Sunday for ₹29,250), Rahul Sharma (Won Master Series #99 Big for ₹20,400), Krishna Kumar (Won Master Series #102 Monster Stack for ₹17,450), Kanti Devi (Won Master Series #97 MPL Brunch for ₹12,816), and Sunil Waghmare (Won Master Series #98 MPL Sundowner for ₹10,920).

Vinayak Bajaj ended his 2.5-week title drought by winning the Adda52 Millions DPT Edition for the third time, earning ₹4.67 Lakhs (won at least ₹5.08 Lakhs overall). Goonjan Mall claimed the second-place payout of ₹2.94 Lakhs, crossing ₹3 Crores in annual earnings.

Dhinesh Kumar stamped his authority in Adda52’s Mega Suits DPT Edition, winning ₹3.49 Lakhs and breaking a three-week title-less streak. Pratik Manjrekar secured his best cash of the year, earning ₹3.34 Lakhs in second place after a heads-up deal.

Akash Saluja made the winning moves in PokerBaazi’s BVS#12, earning a career-best ₹3.20 Lakhs. He struck a three-way deal with ‘rocky9971’ (2nd for ₹2.94 Lakhs) and Somesh Patel (3rd for ₹3.68 Lakhs).

’iamluckbox’ (Won BVS#9 Bounty for ₹3.05 Lakhs), Hemant Gagwana (Won BVS#11 for ₹2.14 Lakhs), and ‘Caishen‘ (Won BVS#13 for ₹2.13 Lakhs) won the other BVS titles on PokerBaazi.

Sanish Chhabra, the renowned EndBoss 4.0 champion, bought in four times in Adda52’s Sunday Showdown DPT Edition, ultimately bagging the winner’s prize of ₹1.33 Lakhs (won ₹1.77 Lakhs overall).

‘Habibii’ emerged victor in Pocket52’s Pocket Kings to secure the top prize of ₹1.02 Lakhs.

Meanwhile, at Junglee Poker, ‘Yash2502′ secured the top spot in the Poker Premier League’s PPL – The Monster, taking home ₹80,000. ‘gridgang30825158‘ led the charge in the inaugural Money Magnet tournament, turning a modest investment into a stellar ₹1 Lakhs prize.

Satyapal Singh, Aryaman Arora, Nihit Salvi, James Mathews, and Sahil Aggarwal won the other Sunday majors.

Daily Majors: Shravan Chhabria, Anmol Mehta, Amar Iyer & Anmolraj Singh Chawla Shine as Tuesday’s Standout Winners

After the spectacular Monday showdown that etched PokerBaazi’s ₹10 Crores GTD G.O.A.T. into the annals of poker history, Tuesday seemed somewhat underwhelming. The recent introduction of a steep 28% GST on player deposits has rocked the boat for both operators and players, making the immediate outlook grin for the poker industry. Consequently, several platforms have cut back guarantees to avoid overlays, while others have paused tournaments altogether.

In this somewhat subdued backdrop, MPL Poker’s ₹2.50 Crores GTD Poker Master Series and Junglee Poker’s ₹3+ Crores GTD Poker Premier League were a welcome respite for the mid-stakes tournament crowd. Furthermore, there’s palpable anticipation for A23 Poker’s upcoming ₹20 Lakhs GTD Mega Freeroll scheduled for 8 PM tonight. Adding further excitement, PokerBaazi`s 10-day-long ₹6 Crores GTD Baazi Value Series is set to begin on October 13.

The online turnouts might see a noticeable dip for the next week as the 15th edition of the Deltin Poker Tournament christened as the DPT Deltin Jubilee Edition kicks off today aboard the Casino Deltin Royale. Poker enthusiasts are flocking to Goa in droves to participate in what stands as India’s only running live poker tournament series.

Coming to Tuesday’s highlights, PokerBaazi user ‘jainjua,’ who has been on a roll since August, seized the day. Fresh from a WTF triumph last month, ‘jainjua’ dominated the biggest guaranteed event last evening, The Endeavour, pocketing a handsome ₹3.72 Lakhs. This achievement stands as their second-best on PokerBaazi.

A strategic five-way deal in The Endeavour saw poker stalwart Shravan Chhabria securing second place with a rewarding ₹3.66 Lakhs, contributing to his total earnings of ₹3.74 Lakhs, solidifying his position as Tuesday`s top scorer. He was followed by ‘SinWithAGrin‘ in third place with ₹3.44 Lakhs, ‘brickbrick‘ in fourth with ₹3.08 Lakhs, and ‘devilfish007‘ in fifth with ₹2.92 Lakhs.

Young Gun Anmol Mehta, the champion of last Tuesday’s Pocket Bullets, shone brightly in Spartan Poker’s all-new Powerplay, taking home ₹2.66 Lakhs. This contributed to his overall Tuesday haul of ₹2.83 Lakhs. Satyam Verma also made his mark, bagging a sumptuous ₹2.26 Lakhs across three significant runs, with his runner-up finish in Powerplay earning him ₹1.79 Lakhs.

Amar Iyer, a frequent presence on PokerStars India, made an emphatic return to the winner’s circle after a month-long hiatus, conquering the Bounty Builder HR – Ticket Drop Edition for ₹2.42 Lakhs.

Meanwhile, Adda52`s ‘leopard7’ tasted a long-awaited success on the platform after over half a decade of wait. They emerged victorious in The Mint DPT Edition, securing ₹2.39 Lakhs through a heads-up deal – making their second-best score on Adda52. A noteworthy mention goes to Vishal Soni, who turned a ₹385 satellite entry into a staggering ₹2.30 Lakhs in second place, marking his all-time best.

Anmolraj Singh Chawla, last month’s Galactic Series-23 [Terminator] champion, resumed his winning form after nearly a month. He stole the spotlight in Poker Master Series’ Tuesday headliner, MPL Poker`s Master Series #70 Tuesday Slam, with winnings of ₹1.80 Lakhs, marking at least his seventh title triumph this year.

The other Poker Master Series champions of the day included Renben Ngullie (Won ₹1 Lakh GTD Master Series #69 for ₹19,500), Rajarshi Saha (Won ₹1 Lakh GTD Master Series #67 MPL Brunch for ₹19,500), Jai Mahato (Won ₹1 Lakh GTD Master Series #72 Monster Stack for ₹17,450), and Yuvraj Kumar (Won ₹50K GTD Master Series #68 MPL Sundowner for ₹9,799).

Gurpal Singh, known for his victory last month in Pocket Jacks, triumphed in Pocket52’s Pocket Bullets, adding ₹96,742 to his total earnings of ₹1.40 Lakhs across four deep runs. Following closely was Varun Meena, Monday’s Iron Man DPT Edition third-place finisher, who placed one better in Pocket Bullets, pocketing ₹67,949 as the runner-up.

Breaking his five-month hiatus, Rakshit Vedh topped PokerBaazi’s 7:15 PM (7-Max) Daily SPRINT, adding ₹1.09 Lakhs to his name. Right behind him was Debneil Mukherjee, with ₹83,090.

The other notable champions of the day included Aditya Parashar, Aman Gupta, Shiven Meena, Ravi Kumar Chandran, and Rohan Sharma.

Making the Tuesday headlines, ‘jainjua, an active user on PokerBaazi since August, rose to prominence once again. After balancing their ledgers into profits after a notable victory in the WTF just last month, ‘jainjua’ clinched another breakthrough win last night.

Demonstrating sheer determination and strategy, ‘jainjua’ dominated the 8 PM flagship event, the ₹20 Lakhs GTD The Endeavour.
