Daily Majors: Avish Sharma, Mohit Mehta, Ramji Kishore G & Ankit Wadhawan Shake Up the Wednesday Leaderboard
Even with all the buzz surrounding the live poker scene in Asia, with events like the recent USOP Hai Phong and the ongoing Manila Megastacks 19 drawing big crowds, the online poker action back home hasn’t missed a beat. Wednesday night was proof of that, with players hitting the virtual felts in droves, showing that the online grind never stops, even when major live tournaments like Poker Dream Jeju 12 and the APT Taipei Poker Classic are kicking off.
PokerBaazi and Natural8 India were once again the places to be on Wednesday, offering up some seriously juicy prizes. PokerBaazi, in particular, has everyone buzzing with their 10th Anniversary celebrations. The poker community is eagerly counting down the days until India’s biggest-ever tournament, the ₹25 Crores GTD G.O.A.T., kicks off on October 1. But even with that monster event looming, other platforms like Junglee Poker, Adda52, and Pocket52 kept the action going with their usual packed tournament schedules. And with overlays galore, players were getting even more bang for their buck!
The star of the night was undoubtedly Avish Sharma, a lawyer from Jammu who’s also a passionate poker player. Sharma, who made history as the first-ever G.O.A.T. finalist, had been in a bit of a slump since his last big win in October. But last night, he turned things around in a major way, taking down PokerBaazi’s The Pride for a massive ₹5.21 Lakhs. This isn’t just his best result of 2024; it’s also his sixth-highest online score ever! With this win, Sharma’s online profits have now surpassed the ₹50 Lakhs mark, making him the top earner of the day. ‘MUMBAI401404,‘ a relative newbie on PokerBaazi, also had a night to remember, finishing runner-up in The Pride for a personal best ₹3.11 Lakhs.
Over on Natural8 India, Mohit Mehta continued his winning ways after a runner-up finish in last week’s Sunday Hypersonic. He made his mark in the CRAZY EIGHTS 88, finishing fifth for ₹3.85 Lakhs – his seventh final table appearance on the platform!
Back on PokerBaazi, Ramji Kishore G finally broke his three-month title drought with a victory in the WTF. He earned ₹2.50 Lakhs through a three-way deal and added another ₹55,000 with four more deep runs. The runner-up, ‘Shravsmanth,’ also had a great night, earning a personal-best ₹2.22 Lakhs from the deal and ₹2.48 Lakhs overall, including a final table finish in the (7-Max) Afternoon Boost. Bijay Sarkar, the IPM#2 Superstack winner, took third place in the WTF with ₹1.80 Lakhs and added to his winnings with two more deep runs, bringing his total for the day to over ₹1.97 Lakhs.
Ankit Wadhawan has been on a roll ever since he came back from the 2024 WSOP! He kept his hot streak going by shipping PokerBaazi’s Daily Super Value for ₹2.25 Lakhs just two weeks after his win in The Pride, raking in a total of ₹2.76 Lakhs, including a deep run in The Pride. ‘Sumit1sharma,‘ a PokerBaazi regular, also had a strong showing in the Daily Super Value, finishing as the runner-up and pocketing ₹1.50 Lakhs.
Over on Adda52, Vikram Mishra, the NPS India 2023 Podium Leaderboard topper, scored his second Maverick victory, earning ₹2.28 Lakhs and breaking a five-week title drought. With two other deep runs, Mishra’s total winnings for the day topped ₹2.39 Lakhs. Ashish Kumar, fresh off a podium finish in the Head Shot NL Bounty, finished runner-up in Maverick for a heartbreaking third time this year, taking home ₹1.67 Lakhs.
Sahil Rajwani, another recent Head Shot NL Bounty finalist, made a solid comeback by winning PokerBaazi’s The Pride Lite, earning ₹1.57 Lakhs. This marked his return to form after an eight-month gap since his (7-Max) Daily SPRINT takedown in January. Cash game veteran Akash Malik proved he can hold his own in tournaments, too, finishing runner-up in The Pride Lite for ₹1.04 Lakhs and racking up ₹1.13 Lakhs for the day.
Pravin Garle, a former finance professional and co-founder of SaaS-based Campus Hiring platform Skills Connect, snagged PokerBaazi’s Daily Last Chance title, earning ₹1.40 Lakhs from a three-way deal, snapping a three-month title drought. Along with a deep run in the WTF, he raked in a total of ₹1.46 Lakhs. ‘skpoker007’ finished second, pocketing ₹1.19 Lakhs from the deal and accumulating ₹1.32 Lakhs across three deep runs. ‘kumarchauhan’ rounded out the podium with a personal best ₹1.18 Lakhs.
On Junglee Poker, the mysterious ‘thatguy‘ claimed the Wednesday Superstack title, earning a solid ₹1.63 Lakhs.
The other Wednesday marquees across various platforms saw several standout winners, including Naman Pandey, Prabhat Kumar, POY #3 Advait Rajguru, Shailesh Patel, and Piyush Nanda.

The virtual felts of PokerBaazi were on fire last night, and at the heart of it all was Avish ‘thehorse7’ Sharma, a lawyer from Jammu with a passion for poker. After a long title-less spell of over 11 months, the first-ever G.O.A.T. finalist burst onto the scene, proving he still has what it takes to compete at the highest level.
On a relentless downswing since November, Sharma clinched a resounding victory in PokerBaazi’s ₹30 Lakhs GTD The Pride, bagging his first major win since shipping the BVS#36 (6-Max) last October.
The Pride, part of PokerBaazi’s 10th Anniversary celebrations, was a magnet for serious players. It boasted a boosted ₹30 Lakhs guarantee, and the promise of a massive payday drew in a guarantee-crushing field of 339 players (638 total entries) in the 8 PM headliner.
Undeterred by the fierce competition, Sharma dusted himself off after an early exit and fired a second bullet. This time, he rode it all the way to the top after a hard-fought eight-hour battle, grabbing his maiden The Pride title and a hefty ₹5.21 Lakhs top prize – his best result this year and sixth-highest online score! Not only did he snag the coveted crown, but he also crossed the impressive ₹50 Lakhs mark in online profits, walking away with the bragging rights as the day’s top scorer.
Avish Sharma’s online stats (PokerBaazi, Adda52 and Spartan Poker): Lifetime Winnings: ₹2.32 Crores | Lifetime Profits: ₹54.40 Lakhs | Titles Won in 2024: #1
While Sharma’s win was the headline, there were other notable performances as well. ‘MUMBAI401404,‘ a relative newcomer to PokerBaazi who’s only been playing since last month, made a serious impression in The Pride, nearly snatching their first-ever title. They might have fallen just short of the win, but their runner-up finish earned them a personal-best ₹3.11 Lakhs – over seven times their previous best score and a significant boost that helped offset some of their previous losses on the platform!
Deepak ‘dkp24’ Kumar, riding high on his win in Tuesday’s Daily Last Chance, kept the momentum going with a third-place finish in The Pride, pocketing a cool ₹2.48 Lakhs.
Deepak Kumar’s PokerBaazi stats: Site Winnings: ₹29.43 Lakhs | Site Profits: ₹9 Lakhs | Titles Won in 2024: #5 | Annual Winnings: ₹18.20 Lakhs | Annual Profits: ₹5.73 Lakhs
The Pride’s final table was brimming with familiar faces who’ve been lighting up the PokerBaazi leaderboards lately, including last night’s Daily SPRINT finalist Nishant ‘NC1202’ Chowdhury (5th for ₹1.40 Lakhs), Saturday’s Daily Last Chance finalist Mohit ‘mohitbothra26’ Bothra (6th for ₹1.15 Lakhs), and recent The Endeavour Lite finalist Vinay ‘navoff’ Grewal (7th for ₹93,148).
The ₹5,750 buy-in The Pride was a smash hit. The massive field generated a whopping ₹31.90 Lakhs prize pool, ensuring the top 101 finishers got a taste of the action. And with a minimum payout of ₹10,208 – nearly double the initial buy-in – it was a Wednesday to remember for many players.

Ramji ‘upswing4eva’ Kishore G, a familiar face on the online poker scene, finally shattered his three-month title drought last night. After a series of close calls and final table appearances in major tournaments like the 1000X#32, The Pride, Blockbuster Lite, BSS Superstack, and Daily Super Value just this month, he broke through in a big way, claiming victory in PokerBaazi’s ₹20 Lakhs GTD WTF.
This wasn’t a walk in the park for Ramji. The competition was fierce, with 437 players (817 total entries) battling it out for a piece of the prize pool. But Ramji dug in his heels and fought tooth and nail for seven long hours, ultimately emerging victorious in the 7:30 PM flagship event. His persistence paid off with a sweet ₹2.50 Lakhs payday (thanks to a well-timed three-way deal) – his third-best score on PokerBaazi!
Ramji kept the momentum going with deep runs in four other PokerBaazi tournaments, raking in over ₹3.05 Lakhs for the night. After those steep past losses, it looks like Ramji is back on the upswing!

‘Shravsmanth,’ a PokerBaazi regular for the past 1.5 years, almost snagged their second title on the platform. They battled it out all the way to heads-up in the WTF but had to settle for a still-impressive runner-up finish. Even so, they walked away with a personal best ₹2.22 Lakhs from the three-way deal – their four-best score on PokerBaazi. And with another final table finish in the (7-Max) Afternoon Boost earlier in the day, ‘Shravsmanth’ added over ₹2.48 Lakhs to their bankroll on Wednesday.

Despite falling ₹47,370 short of its ambitious guarantee, the ₹2,750 buy-in WTF still delivered incredible value for players. The top 118 finishers got a share of the ₹20 Lakhs prize pool. And with a minimum payout of ₹6,000, even those who didn’t make the final table walked away with a decent chunk of change. It was a mid-week poker party that definitely didn’t disappoint!

Ankit ‘d00mtr00p3r’ Wadhawan, the Chandigarh poker pro, is riding a wave of success that shows no signs of slowing down! After a summer filled with action at the 2024 WSOP in Vegas, he returned home and kept the momentum going, clinching back-to-back victories in Spartan Poker’s Sunday Supreme and PokerBaazi’s IPM#158 Afterparty in August. He kicked off September with another win in The Pride, and now, just two weeks later, he’s added another title to his collection: PokerBaazi’s ₹15 Lakhs GTD Daily Super Value.
Wadhawan, who was part of the second runner-up Lucknow Kings team at the Pocket52 PSL Season 6, clearly knows how to handle the pressure of a big tournament. He fired three bullets in the new 9 PM flagship event and battled for over seven hours, navigating a stacked field of 664 entries (397 unique), clinching his first-ever Daily Super Value title and a sweet ₹2.25 Lakhs top prize!
But his winning streak started earlier in the night. He narrowly missed the final table in PokerBaazi’s The Pride, finishing in a respectable 10th place for ₹51,040. All in all, Wadhawan raked in a grand total of ₹2.76 Lakhs on Wednesday!
Ankit Wadhawan’s online stats (excluding Natural8 India, Junglee Poker and Pocket52): Lifetime Winnings: ₹16.24 Crores | Lifetime Profits: ₹5.13 Crores | Titles Won in 2024: #8 | Annual Winnings: ₹1.44 Crores | Annual Profits: ₹21.70 Lakhs
PokerBaazi regular ‘Sumit1sharma’ was also in the hunt for the Daily Super Value title. They’ve been on a steep downswing these last six months, but they came into the tournament ready to fight, firing three bullets. While they didn’t quite reach the top spot, they still managed a fantastic runner-up finish and a ₹1.50 Lakhs payday – a much-needed boost to ease the sting of those recent losses.
Sumit1sharma’s PokerBaazi stats: Site Winnings: ₹83.59 Lakhs | Titles Won in 2024: #1
The Daily Super Value final table also featured two other familiar faces: Rahul ‘shako’ Sharma, who finished fifth for ₹72,450, and Rahul ‘gcrahulota’ Raina, who took seventh for ₹47,250.
The ₹2,000 buy-in Daily Super Value is a new addition this month as part of PokerBaazi’s 10th Anniversary celebrations, and it’s already a hit with players. But last night was extra special, thanks to a massive 3.45 Lakhs overlay. That meant incredible value for the top 100 finishers who made it into the money. With a minimum payout of ₹4,500 – more than double the buy-in – it was a mid-week treat for everyone who made the money.

- Ankit ‘d00mtr00p3r’ Wadhawan – ₹2,25,000

PokerBaazi was the place to be on Wednesday night, and Sahil ‘sahil1571’ Rajwani was the one turning up the temperature! Fresh off his impressive final table appearance in Adda52`s Head Shot NL Bounty, Rajwani carried that momentum into the ₹10 Lakhs GTD The Pride Lite, and he didn’t disappoint.
He made an epic comeback after a dry spell that had lasted a gruelling eight months since his (7-Max) Daily SPRINT takedown in January. Battling through a field of 520 entries (313 unique) in the 7:30 PM flagship event, Rajwani proved his poker prowess in an intense six-hour showdown. He fired three bullets and navigated his way through the competition, clinching the title and a well-deserved ₹1.57 Lakhs payday – his second-highest online score and the cherry on top of his year so far!
Sahil Rajwani’s online stats (excluding Natural8 India, Junglee Poker and Pocket52): Lifetime Winnings: ₹33.25 Lakhs | Lifetime Profits: ₹21.64 Lakhs | Titles Won in 2024: #3 | Annual Winnings: ₹7.43 Lakhs | Annual Profits: ₹3.41 Lakhs
Akash ‘UtgWithUrMOM’ Malik, a seasoned cash game player who recently grabbed a podium finish in Summit Lite, also put on a show in The Pride Lite. He gave Rajwani a real run for his money, proving he’s not just a cash game specialist. While he narrowly missed out on the title, Malik still walked away with a hefty ₹1.04 Lakhs – a score that easily lands in his top 10 for the year.
And Malik wasn’t done yet. Having recently joined the exclusive ₹2 Crores club in tracked online winnings, he decided to keep the party going with a deep run in PokerBaazi’s WTF (44th for ₹9,000), bringing his total earnings for the night to almost ₹1.13 Lakhs.
Akash Malik’s online stats (PokerBaazi, Adda52 and Spartan Poker): Lifetime Winnings: ₹2.03 Crores | Titles Won in 2024: #1 | Annual Winnings: ₹26.67 Lakhs | Annual Profits: ₹2.67 Lakhs

The ₹2,000 buy-in The Pride Lite was already a major draw, but a juicy ₹95,200 overlay made it even more enticing. The top 82 finishers got a share of the ₹10 Lakhs prize pool, with even the min-cash being a generous ₹4,800. It was a mid-week poker party that definitely delivered!

After a three-month dry spell without a tournament victory, Pravin ‘littlejony’ Garle, a seasoned player from Mumbai, reminded everyone that he’s still got it. Despite his busy schedule as the co-founder and director of the SaaS-based Campus Hiring platform Skills Connect, Garle, a former finance professional, has remained a dedicated poker regular. Last night, his persistence finally paid off as he clinched a resounding victory in PokerBaazi’s ₹10 Lakhs GTD Daily Last Chance.
In the 10:30 PM flagship, Garle faced off against 231 skilled opponents (359 total entries), but he wasn’t intimidated. In a swift and decisive late-night battle that lasted five hours and 54 minutes, he proved he’s still got the chops, outplaying the competition and claiming his first Daily Last Chance title. Along with the bragging rights, he pocketed a cool ₹1.40 Lakhs after a three-way deal – his seventh-highest score on the platform. And just to show he was on a roll, Garle also cashed in WTF (96th for ₹6,000), raking in almost ₹1.46 Lakhs across his mid-week blitz.

Junglee Poker’s ₹7.50 Lakhs GTD Wednesday Superstack PKO set the stage for an epic showdown, and 263 poker warriors stepped into the arena for this 8 PM marquee event, the battle raging on for over 7.5 hours.

Vikram ‘vikram2323’ Mishra (opted out of our tracking), famed as the NPS India 2023 Podium Leaderboard topper, is back in the winner’s circle! This guy is a beast when it comes to big-ticket MTTs, and he proved it once again last night by taking down Adda52’s ₹12.50 Lakhs GTD Maverick – not for the first time, mind you, with a previous win in December 2022.
Mishra has been knocking on the door of victory lately, with recent final table appearances in Adda52`s MMA Monster Stack and Friday Bounty. But last night, he finally broke through, outlasting a competitive 397-entry field (210 unique) in the 8 PM headliner. After an intense battle that lasted nearly eight hours, Mishra emerged victorious, earning a handsome ₹2.28 Lakhs and adding another title to his collection. This win also marks his first victory in five weeks, following his triumph in Natural8 India’s Daily Hypersonic 20 last month.

The Maverick, with its ₹3,350 buy-in, is known for attracting the best of the best. While the event fell short of its guarantee by a significant ₹98,700, the promised ₹12.50 Lakhs prize pool found its way to the top 62 finishers, making this mid-week showdown a rewarding grind for everyone who made the cut.
