“Bas Chalte Rehna Hai” – The Heartwarming and Inspiring Tale of Hanuman Patel – Who Won ₹78.74 Lakhs in PokerBaazi`s ₹5 Crores GTD EndBoss on June 5

Rags to riches stories are a familiar narrative across literature and film. Still, when such an awe-inspiring tale unfolds in the pulsating heart of the domestic poker circuit, it commands attention.

Today, we spotlight the extraordinary journey of Hanuman Patel. From the small town of Luni in Rajasthan to the bustling city of Hospet, Karnataka, where he now resides with his wife and youngest son, Patel’s story is nothing short of captivating. So, what sets him apart? The answer lies in the fourth edition of PokerBaazi‘s ₹5 Crores GTD EndBoss hosted on June 5 this year, where Patel clinched the runner-up title.

Sanish Chhabra may have taken home the EndBoss title and an impressive personal-best score of ₹46.33 Lakhs, but Patel secured an even more astounding sum of ₹78.74 Lakhs, thanks to a four-way deal!

Sanish Chhabra
Sanish Chhabra

 

Yet, Patel’s inspiring success story isn’t an isolated instance. PokerBaazi’s accessible tournaments with massive guarantees have been the springboard for many lesser-known players, catapulting them into poker stardom.

Cast your mind back to the inaugural EndBoss in April 2020, when Abhishek Maheshwari transformed a modest ₹1,000 satellite investment into a life-changing ₹1 Crore payout! Fast forward to the ₹7 Crores GTD G.O.A.T champion, Rohit Kumar, who went from obscurity to permanently etching his name in the annals of Indian poker history.

A more recent testimony to PokerBaazi’s transformative impact is that of Anirban Das. At 37, he won a Las Vegas package through PokerBaazi’s National Poker Series and went on to make history at the 2023 WSOP Main Event, securing a phenomenal 16th place and a whopping $430,200 in prize money.

 

In essence, PokerBaazi has been a catalyst for life-altering success, bestowing recognition and fame upon recreational players and changing their lives forever.

Returning to this story’s protagonist, Hanuman Patel shed light on his poker journey in an interview with PokerBaazi.

You can watch the heartwarming interview below.

 

The interview commences with Patel sharing a nugget of wisdom from his native Rajasthan, “Chalna hai aapko, daudhna nahi hai.” This translates to Keep walking, don’t run. The adage suggests that steady progress can still lead you to your destination, while rushing might result in potential mishaps.

Seeking improved career prospects, Patel ventured beyond his ancestral lands in Rajasthan and relocated to Hospet, Karnataka. His ambition bore fruit as he now runs a successful electrical shop.

In his interview, Patel reveals glimpses of his personal life, speaking affectionately of his family and expressing his profound love for his wife with a simple yet powerful statement, “life is my wife.”

Beginning his poker journey with limited knowledge, like many aspiring poker enthusiasts, Patel initially got his feet wet by participating in freeroll and micro buy-in tournaments. As he became more accustomed to the game, he claimed victories in these micro buy-in events.

His first encounter with the high stakes occurred in May 2022, where he secured 516th place in #BB8 EndBoss, earning ₹20,000. Over a year later, in June, Patel narrowly missed clinching the title in the fourth edition of EndBoss. With a buy-in of ₹11,000, this flagship event drew a staggering 4,822 participants. Despite missing out on the crown, Patel walked away with the tournament’s most substantial payout: a whopping ₹78.74 Lakhs. He recalls his heart pounding as he made the final table in the EndBoss.

Patel acknowledges PokerBaazi for providing a significant turning point in his life. He likens the platform to a school, emphasizing that one can’t merely rely on luck or chance to play poker. It requires learning and strategizing.

As the interview draws to a close, Patel offers some sage advice: “Poker is a patience game. It depends on your mind. If you want to win you have to be patient.”

WinsPokerBaazi’s ₹5 Crore GTD #BB8 EndBoss For ₹1 Crore

On Sunday, May 22, 26-year-old Jitendra Gadhwal took down the third installment of PokerBaazi’s ₹5 Crores GTD #BB8 EndBoss.

Talking about his victory, Gadhwal, who is a B.Tech in Engineering and has been playing poker since 2017, said, “I still can’t believe it. It will definitely take time to sink in. I’ve been playing for three-four years, mainly on PokerBaazi and mostly tournaments, but never expected a hobby would turn out to be so rewarding.”

Gadhwal clashed against Eshan Kapoor in the heads-up showdown. He reminisced about the clash and the final hand of the tournament. “H.U. was pretty straightforward. I tried to not focus on the amount we were playing for and just play my cards. My opponent was seemingly a bit tight, and I wanted to play face up, too…the final hand was my top pair of 8 vs his second pair of 4 on an 8-4-2 board. He raised on the flop I check-jammed, he called and was behind, my pair of 8 held up!”

2. Rohit Kumar

Wins PokerBaazi’s ₹7 Crores GTD GOAT For ₹94.69 Lakhs

PokerBaazi upped the temperatures on the domestic felts on November 6, hosting the inaugural G.O.A.T, aka Greatest of all Tournaments. The G.O.A.T is India’s first, and to date, biggest online tournament, and it featured a never-before-seen ₹7 Crores in guaranteed prize money. Following eight qualifiers that brought in 7,233 entries, Bengaluru-based player Rohit Kumar topped the competition. A 35-year-old data scientist at Walmart, Kumar maneuvered past the stacked final table, eventually agreeing to a heads-up deal to emerge champion. He collected an unbelievable ₹94.69 Lakhs for his victory run.

Kumar has been playing poker for over a decade but has focused on MTTs since his return to India in 2022. The G.O.A.T was Kumar’s second domestic online tournament title. He admitted to us, “When I enrolled in that tournament, I had an objective of coming in top payout structure. But I never thought I’d be able to win this tournament. I’m telling you honestly…I had played the satellite tournament and got selected. My chip stack was very low. When that tournament started, I just told myself that I had to play my best game ever, and I didn’t want to make any mistake because one mistake would terminate me immediately…I loved that sometimes I played the right strategy at the right position with the right players. So those things helped me to improve my chip stack on the table.”

3. Puneet Sachan

Runner-up in PokerBaazi’s ₹7 Crores GTD GOAT For ₹68.73 Lakhs

This past November, Puneet Sachan came excruciatingly close to clinching the G.O.A.T title. However, in the final moments, Sachan struck a heads-up deal with Rohit Kumar, taking up the runner-up position that earned him an equally jaw-dropping ₹68.73 Lakhs payday.

Sachan’s run in the event was nerve-wracking and exciting. “Honestly, I had a very sick beat when 15 people were left. I had aces, and the opponent jammed 16 B.B.s with nines. I called him, but I lost the pot after a nine appeared on the flop. It was very disheartening for me. I had 5.5 BBs left, but I soon got good cards and a double-up two or three times. End of the day, I was chip leading the final table.”

The runner-up score is Sachan’s biggest online feat to date, and vaulted his tracked online winnings straight past the ₹1 Crore marker. It also makes the poker streamer the third-biggest scorer of 2022!

4. Eshan Kapoor

Runner-up in the PokerBaazi’s ₹5 Crore GTD #BB8 EndBoss For ₹60.20 Lakhs

It can be tilting when you come strikingly close to winning one of the biggest online tournaments but finish one position short. Still, for 28-year-old Delhi-based Eshan Kapoor, a runner-up score of ₹60.20 Lakhs (his career-best finish) in a tournament as prestigious as the #BB8 EndBoss is no mean feat. While Kapoor has shipped only one online tournament, dating back to August 2020, his stellar run in the #BB8 EndBoss, ensured him a spot in our year-end feature.

5. Amit Gehani

Wins Spartan Poker’s ₹3.50 Crore GTD IOPC #114 – The Crown For ₹56.40 Lakhs

Dubai-based reg Amit Gehani enjoys a glittering online scorecard. Many would recall Gehani’s IOPC Legends win in July 2021 or his runner-up finish in the IOPC High Roller in January 2022. Gehani stole the thunder early in 2022 with his close finish in the IOPC High Roller, where he chopped the top prize with Young Gun Sahil Chutani, the latter claiming the title for ₹23.20 Lakhs. Gehani pocketed ₹21.13 Lakhs in the tourney.

But that’s not why Gehani ranks on this feature. A week after his High Roller run, Gehani wore the majestic IOPC – The Crown. He trampled the 3,938-player field in the event to clinch his career-second IOPC title (he has three IOPC titles overall) and a personal-best score of ₹56.40 Lakhs (cumulatively from three ITM finishes)!
