Natural8 India sensation ‘HiiiBarbie‘ dominated Monday with a jaw-dropping ₹8.42 Lakh score, rocketing their total winnings on the platform past the ₹1.10 Crore mark this year alone! Deep runs in Natural8 India’s 525 Bounty Hunters Circuit HR (16th for ₹5.76 Lakhs) and the Super Circuit Classic 250 (9th for ₹2.66 Lakhs) cemented their place as Monday’s undisputed powerhouse.

Young Gun and WSOP bracelet winner Aayush Arya also made a splash on Natural8 India with a 16th-place finish in the Super GIANT No-Limit Hold’em 365, raking in a massive ₹5.38 Lakhs!

NPS India 2024 Podium Leaderboard Standings After Day 15

The NPS India 2024 Podium Leaderboard is a warzone, and two titans are locked in a dead heat for supremacy. Deepak ‘3streakbluff’ Singh and Young Gun Abhishek ‘addysonu’ Sonu are tied at the top with a blistering 32 points each, setting the stage for a photo-finish!

Deepak Singh is on an absolute tear! His record-breaking double Gold Medal rampage in NPS#76 Big Knockout (PKO) and NPS#73 (PLO-6) Deepdive, plus a previous Gold and Bronze, make him the man to beat.

Abhishek Sonu is hot on his heels, matching Singh’s energy with three Gold Medals and a Bronze of his own. His dominance is undeniable, and he’s thirsty for that top spot.

Previously enjoying a dominant three-day reign at #1, Samay ‘SamaySinghModi’ Singh Modi lurks dangerously in third. Don’t count him out – with three Gold Medals on his resume, he’s poised for a comeback.

The Podium battleground is swarming with contenders hungry for glory. Manish Lakhotia, Shivam Kumar Dubbey, series leaderboard leader Rising Star Aman Parakh, and Gautam Rohila are all just one Gold Medal away from shaking up the race.

Poker titan Kunal ‘FloatToMyBoat’ Patni is setting the online felts on fire! Forget calling himself a ‘fish on a heater’ – this Natural8 India Executive Director is a full-blown poker force of nature. In just over a week, he’s demolished the competition with a mind-blowing four flagship tournament victories, leaving seasoned pros in awe.

Patni’s reign of terror began with a decisive victory in Spartan Poker’s Destiny. He then unleashed a double-gold blitzkrieg in PokerBaazi’s NPS India 2024, conquering both the NPS#43 (6-Max) SPRINT and the NPS#53 Megadive, adding to his impressive medal haul.

But the wins didn’t stop there! Last night, Patni stormed into Adda52’s 25 Lakhs GTD Godfather, outlasting a 536-entrant field (275 unique) in a gruelling 9-hour battle. His tactical prowess in this 8 PM headliner earned him a massive 3.90 Lakhs payday (after a 3-way deal) and his second Godfather title.

Patni’s relentless rampage resulted in seven incredible cashes, totalling an eye-popping 4.19 Lakhs. He even found time to advance to Day 2 in PokerBaazi’s NPS#92 HighRoller and Spartan Poker’s Millionaire VII.
