Daily Majors: Rahul Kumar Drops the Hammer – ₹8.77 Lakhs in The Endeavour Makes Him Tuesday’s MVP
The desert heat has nothing on the action unfolding at the 56th annual World Series of Poker. Now, over two weeks deep, the grind at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas has been relentless. Tuesday was arguably the most action-packed day at the series so far, with five pieces of gold hardware finding worthy champions.
For the Indian contingent, it was business as usual. The scorecard kept ticking, with Sriharsha Doddapaneni, the top Indian scorer of the series so far, added to his tally with a cash in the single-day chaos of Event #34: $1,500 Super Turbo Bounty (150th for ₹2.32 Lakhs), where bracelet winner Abhinav Iyer also finished in the money (300th for ₹1.61 Lakhs). Event #31: $800 No-Limit Hold’em Deepstack also saw a host of Indian players going deep, including PokerBaazi Team Pro Laksh Pal Singh (59th for ₹5.11 Lakhs), bracelet winner Aditya Sushant (107th for ₹2.75 Lakhs), Young Gun Shardul Parthasarathi (172nd for ₹2.41 Lakhs), and Somasekhar Sanampuri (593rd for ₹1.41 Lakhs).
While the breakout scores were just out of reach in Vegas, the online grind back home provided plenty of them. PokerBaazi once again steered the primetime action, with its heavy-hitting majors recording some of their best turnouts this year. But it was overlay carnage on other top platforms, with Natural8 India a prime hunting ground as regulars and new faces took one last shot on the final day of the colossal World Festival 2025.
Even with so much happening, Tuesday`s biggest headline belonged to Rahul Kumar, who came out guns blazing after a stretch of relative quiet. He took down PokerBaazi’s boosted ₹60 Lakhs GTD The Endeavour with the kind of precision that left no doubt—he was back in a big way. The victory earned him a personal-best ₹8.77 Lakhs on the site after a heads-up deal. The monster payday didn’t just push his total winnings on the site past the ₹50 Lakhs point; it rewrote his platform history, wiping out over half of his past losses in one go and standing as Tuesday’s biggest score across all platforms.
Breathing down his neck was Samay Wadhawan. Fresh off a Big PLO-5 title and a deep run in #31 The MoneyMaker last month, Wadhawan almost added The Endeavour trophy to his cabinet. He eventually finished as the runner-up, but the heads-up deal brought him his biggest PokerBaazi score yet—₹6.43 Lakhs. Right behind them, volume machine and current POY #6 Rajneesh Thakur logged another strong finish, banking ₹4.29 Lakhs for third place. His day’s ledger showed a handsome ₹5.87 Lakhs across eight cash finishes.
Over on Natural8 India, ‘chalnighlavdya’ came out of a six-week quiet spell and dropped a bomb on the final night of the World Festival 2025. Stepping into the Bounty Hunters Daily Main 525, they battled through a 731-entry field to finish ninth, banking a site-best ₹7.56 Lakhs.
Back on PokerBaazi, long-time regular ‘Prithvirajpalta’ turned the tide in a big way, grabbing their first major title of the year with a standout win in The Endeavour Lite. The former NPS#43 Deepdive Silver medallist and 2023 IMPS#58 Mini Main Event champ bested a massive field and pocketed a personal-best ₹3.30 Lakhs—shaking off a two-year downswing by wiping out more than half of those past losses in one swift, power-packed run. Right on their heels was Siddharth Gangwar, who, after snapping an almost year-long title drought five weeks ago on Natural8 India and finishing ninth in The Endeavour Lite last month, finished runner-up in the same event for ₹2.18 Lakhs—his highest score on PokerBaazi this year, pushing his total take for the night to nearly ₹2.25 Lakhs.
Anurag Srivastava continued his white-hot heater, following up back-to-back weekend wins with a career fourth victory in Adda52`s The Mint for ₹2.66 Lakhs. This was his incredible 23rd title this year. His productive Tuesday across multiple platforms added a chunky ₹3.11 Lakhs to his yearly total, keeping him firm at #5 in the POY rankings. Heads-up SNG specialist Aritra Sengupta finished runner-up in The Mint for ₹1.95 Lakhs—his fourth second-place finish this year as his agonizing wait for a major title continues.
The night also saw a few more noteworthy performances on Natural8 India:
- ‘Dragon2AK’ made a splashy debut in the Zodiac Tiger Fury, finishing as the runner-up for ₹2.45 Lakhs.
- Mayank Maruka, returning to the platform after a 15-month break, conquered the massive 2,052-entry Bounty Hunters Special 10.80 for a platform-best ₹2.05 Lakhs.
Nandan Pugalia also joined the winner’s brigade, snapping a frustrating month-long dry spell by taking down PokerBaazi`s new TurboCharge (6-Max) for ₹2.25 Lakhs. Vikhyat Ahlawat was right there with him, nearly capturing his third major title of the month but settling for a runner-up payout of ₹1.67 Lakhs. His multi-platform assault resulted in a final tally just under ₹1.98 Lakhs.
Other flagship winners lighting up PokerBaazi included Tarush Gupta, who won the Big PLO-5 for ₹2.41 Lakhs, and Vishal Ojha, who took down the Daily Last Chance for a third time, pocketing ₹1.95 Lakhs as part of a ₹2.21 Lakhs session.
Over on Junglee Poker, Young Gun Anmol Mehta snapped a nearly two-month title drought, winning the SS#19 Tuesday Phoenix for ₹1.67 Lakhs (₹95,396 in bounties).
Adding more firepower to Tuesday’s packed lineup were standout victories from other in-form players like Prathik Gandhi, Sony Puthussery, Nikita Fernandes, and Ambika Chowdhury, each delivering clutch performances to walk away with hard-fought marquee titles.
Here are the Tuesday highlights!
PokerBaazi
The Endeavour – ₹60 Lakhs GTD
Buy-in – ₹5,750
Entries – 590
Re-entries – 677
Prize Pool – ₹63,35,000
Places Paid – 196
After a Monday that saw nearly all of its majors crush their guarantees, the pace on PokerBaazi only picked up on Tuesday. The energy was high, the lineups were stacked, and the prize pools were overflowing. Big-ticket tournaments like The Endeavour, The Endeavour Lite, and the Daily Last Chance easily punched through their guarantees. The only blip on the radar was the new Turbo Charge (6-Max), which once again offered some added value.
As always, the biggest story of the night was written in the 8 PM showstopper, The Endeavour. For the second consecutive week, this prime-time battle returned with a staggering ₹60 Lakhs guarantee—a significant 20% increase from its long-standing prize pool, while keeping the buy-in at the familiar ₹5,750. After narrowly missing the boosted number last week, this time, the players turned out in force, and the event smashed right through its ambitious target.
Grabbing the lion’s share of the prize money and the bragging rights was Rahul ‘viran’ Kumar, who reminded everyone exactly what he’s capable of. It had been a while since his last big splash—June 2023 to be exact (when he won the IOPC #130 Saturday Prime). Last night, Kumar came through with a commanding run that announced his return after a relatively quiet few years on the online tournament scene.
The Endeavour saw a notable uptick in traffic, with a 1,267-entry field (590 unique) jumping into the Tuesday headliner. Kumar powered through nearly ten hours of relentless poker, grinding from dusk deep into the night. This was a full-on return to form. When the last pot was dragged, Kumar had his first title of 2025 and his maiden win in The Endeavour, improving on a fourth-place finish in this same event last July. A heads-up deal locked in a site-best ₹8.77 Lakhs for him—over three times his previous best score on PokerBaazi and one that reshaped his platform history by cutting his past losses by more than half.
The massive score also pushed him past the ₹50 Lakhs mark in recorded winnings on PokerBaazi, registered as his third-biggest online payday ever, and was more than enough to place him atop Tuesday’s earnings charts across all platforms.

While Rahul Kumar captured the spotlight, Samay ‘Meganium9’ Wadhawan was right there, making sure the finale was a two-man show. He hit the table with the wind at his back, carrying the confidence from a recent Big PLO-5 victory and a sixth-place finish in #31 The MoneyMaker just last month.
A regular on PokerBaazi since last October, Wadhawan was clearly on a mission for another title, and he gave no ground in a tense heads-up duel. Although he had to settle for second place, the heads-up deal ensured his performance was rewarded with a personal-best ₹6.43 Lakhs on the platform—a powerful statement and a huge boost to his bankroll.
Samay Wadhawan’s PokerBaazi stats: Site Winnings: ₹18.57 Lakhs | Site Profits: ₹8.30 Lakhs | Titles Won in 2025: #1
With a scorching prize pool, The Endeavour’s end game was littered with top names. The current POY #6, volume king Rajneesh ‘msdhoni’ Thakur, finished a commendable third for ₹4.29 Lakhs. The score keeps the pressure on Anurag Srivastava above him in what is becoming a fascinating side-plot in the Player of the Year race.9
The fierce competition was rounded out by last night`s multi-platform standout Ashit ‘nexus010’ Sharma (4th for ₹3.23 Lakhs), Praveen ‘pokerfaceblr’ Chandra (5th for ₹2.53 Lakhs), Sunday’s Adda52 The Starlight winner Ganesh ‘Ganesh24’ Durgade (6th for ₹1.96 Lakhs), and veteran pro Dhaval ’Rehab77’ Mudgal (8th for ₹1.16 Lakhs).
PokerBaazi’s decision to boost The Endeavour’s guarantee by a bold 20% to ₹60 Lakhs is a gamble that paid off for both the platform and the players. The event drew a roaring crowd, smashing its target to build a staggering ₹63.35 Lakhs prize pool. This meant serious value for the top 196 finishers, with even a min-cash worth ₹10,140.
While players might miss the daily high of The MoneyMaker, the enhancements to PokerBaazi`s June schedule are clearly hitting the sweet spot. And for players like Rahul Kumar, it was a night of redemption and glory all packed into one.

The week has started with a bang on PokerBaazi, and if Monday got the ball rolling, Tuesday saw the pace pick up even more. The energy was electric as player turnouts swelled across the beefed-up schedule. While the boosted The Endeavour was the night’s main attraction, its younger sibling, the ₹15 Lakhs GTD The Endeavour Lite, added plenty of its prime-time excitement. The tournament saw a bumper showing, with a packed 872-strong field (461 unique) creating its biggest turnout all year and generating a scorching ₹21.80 Lakhs prize pool.
Storming through this loaded field was ‘Prithvirajpalta,’ a dedicated PokerBaazi regular from Uttar Pradesh. A player on the scene since 2018 and the NPS#43 Deepdive Silver Medallist, they claimed their first major title of the year on the platform in a big way. The 2023 IMPS#58 Mini Main Event winner needed three bullets to get the job done, but the investment paid off handsomely. They navigated The Endeavour Lite in under 6.5 hours to collect a personal-best ₹3.30 Lakhs, swinging the script on an over two-year downswing by offsetting more than half of their past losses in one go.

Their final opponent was Siddharth ‘GangnamGangi’ Gangwar, a well-known regular with serious poker chops. Gangwar has maintained a low-key profile this year, but his profit graph has been climbing for six straight years, a clear sign that he packs a punch.
After breaking an almost year-long title drought five weeks ago on Natural8 India and finishing ninth in The Endeavour Lite last month, he was building towards a big score on PokerBaazi. His spirited charge in the same The Endeavour Lite ended in second place last night, netting him ₹2.18 Lakhs—his best showing on PokerBaazi this year. A small score Adda52`s Tuesday Night Stacks (17th for ₹6,756) nudged his total take for the night to nearly ₹2.25 Lakhs, even though a flagship title on PokerBaazi remains just out of reach for the decorated pro.
Siddharth Gangwar’s online stats (PokerBaazi, Adda52 and SpartanPoker): Lifetime Winnings: ₹8.62 Crores | Lifetime Profits: ₹2.63 Crores | Annual Winnings: ₹24.36 Lakhs | Annual Profits: ₹4.34 Lakhs | Titles Won in 2025 #1 (across all platforms)
With a loaded field, The Endeavour Lite played down to a final table replete with big names and other familiar faces like Rasik ‘Bluffmaster69’ Bhatia (4th for ₹1.24 Lakhs), former #BB3 MoneyMaker champion Mukesh ‘Guruuu’ Surana (5th for ₹1.02 Lakhs), Subhodeep ‘subzero’ Paul (6th for ₹83,490), and other formidable talents like last month’s #7 The MoneyMaker runner-up Mithun ‘thepokeraja’ Mahesh (7th for ₹65,400), and the winner of this same event from last month Mohit ‘thejoker’ Mehta (8th for ₹47,740).
In what was arguably the biggest success story of the night on PokerBaazi, the ₹2,875 buy-in The Endeavour Lite blew its advertised guarantee to smithereens. Exceeding its target by over 30%, it generated a massive ₹21.80 Lakhs prize pool. The expanded field meant the payouts flowed deeper than ever, with the top 121 finishers taking home at least ₹6,100—more than double the entry fee.
Once again, Tuesday night on PokerBaazi delivered top-tier poker action packed with drama, deep runs, inspiring stories, and excellent value for the players.

Tuesday night on PokerBaazi wasn’t just another weekday grind—it was an explosion of action that blew the lid off turnouts seen in recent weeks. While most of the platform’s majors were crushing their guarantees, the new 9:30 PM flagship, the ₹15 Lakhs GTD Turbo Charge (6-Max), offered a different kind of appeal: sweet overlay value.
True to its name, the Turbo Charge was a frenzy of short-handed action. With the pace dialled to the max and aggression running sky-high, it was a lightning-fast battle that wrapped up in under 5.5 hours. Rising above the madness was Kolkata’s poker warrior Nandan ‘ragemonster’ Pugalia, who grabbed the reins late in the game and refused to let go. Winning the Turbo Charge for ₹2.25 Lakhs, Pugalia returned to the winner’s circle after a nearly month-long wait—his last victory came in Adda52’s The Sundowner in mid-May. The dam finally burst in June.
Pugalia’s 2025 run has been a textbook example of grit, grind, and gradual build-up. The year began with back-to-back runner-up finishes in PokerBaazi’s Daily Last Chance, followed by title wins in Junglee Poker’s Monday Monster and Adda52’s Friday Bounty. February saw him win another Daily Last Chance, but that was followed by a tough stretch of 12 final table appearances without a title—the kind of run that can test any player’s mettle. And let’s not forget his NPS India 2025 campaign: Pugalia incredibly played all 191 events, cashing 120 times for a healthy ₹25.62 Lakhs in series earnings. His efforts included five final table finishes and a Bronze Medal in NPS#154 Big Knockout (PKO)—confirming his image as one of the most tireless competitors at the online tables.
Last night, Pugalia followed this win with a small score in the late-night Daily Last Chance (73rd for ₹2,757), bringing his Tuesday total to almost ₹2.28 Lakhs—a well-earned payday for a grinder who really puts in the work.
Giving Pugalia a real run for his money right down to the wire was Vikhyat ‘supersaiyan57’ Ahlawat—the Gautam Buddha Nagar pro on one of the most terrifying heaters in recent memory. A player who quit his job to pursue poker full-time, Ahlawat’s breakout year has been nothing short of spectacular. His NPS India 2025 campaign was legendary, where he captured two Gold Medals and finished fifth in the historic NPC Finale in Goa. He had already started June on fire, shipping Adda52`s Mystery Bounty and Adda52 Millions on back-to-back Sundays.
Last night, he brought that same momentum to the Turbo Charge (6-Max) and nearly went all the way. Coming this close to a third major title this month, he still banked ₹1.67 Lakhs for second place! As usual, he was active across the board, and with five other cashes, he logged off with just under ₹1.98 Lakhs added to his ever-growing bankroll—another day, another powerful statement from a player who just recently crossed the ₹2 Crore profit milestone.

> 16th in PokerBaazi’s (PLO-5) Boost for ₹1,849

Making it through the Turbo Charge (6-Max) chaos was one thing, but the final table was no easy climb either. Even outside the top two, the endgame featured formidable talents like Jitesh ‘j007suv’ Suvarna (3rd for ₹1.29 Lakhs), last night`s The Endeavour podium finisher and current POY #6 Rajneesh ‘msdhoni’ Thakur (4th for ₹96,000) and Sunday`s BSS Super Value champion Pratik ‘zpAAced’ Manjrekar (5th for ₹75,000).
In what turned out to be a blockbuster Tuesday on PokerBaazi, the ₹4,000 buy-in TurboCharge was the rare outlier that fell short of its guarantee. It recorded a ₹77,089 deficit, still five times less than its debut run, which was still a bonus for the 62 players who cashed. Each took home at least ₹7,800, almost double the buy-in.
While PokerBaazi’s new 9:30 PM flagships have consistently offered overlays, the turnouts are showing steady improvement, and it’s clear the value is not lost on savvy players.

When the stakes go high, and the swings get wilder, one format consistently delivers drama and delight: 5-card PLO. And PokerBaazi’s ₹10 Lakhs GTD Big PLO-5, a Tuesday–Friday fixture, continues to be the go-to battleground for the five-card aficionados.
After recording overlays on and off in recent weeks, this 9 PM PLO contest was another undeniable hit on PokerBaazi, which recorded some of its best turnouts in recent times across the board, turning into a tactical warzone packed with bruising action and fireworks that lit up the virtual felt.
At the center of this high-energy contest was Pune’s Tarush ‘Busterr’ Gupta, who is back in red-hot form after a recent spell in the shadows. Just last Friday, Gupta ended a 2.5-month title drought by winning The Quest Lite, and there’s been no stopping him since. Last night, he made it two for two, winning his eighth title of the year and second in just four days, demonstrating yet again that he’s among the most dangerous players on the circuit once he gains momentum.
Gupta’s successful run is no short-lived success—it’s a continuation of a strong record. At NPS India 2025, he scripted one of the most commanding runs of the series with five medals (2 Gold, 1 Silver, 2 Bronze) and now has eight NPS medals across his career. With past titles like Spartan Poker’s SCS #79 High Main Event, FTS #21 Supreme, and Adda52’s Big Game on his resume, Gupta entered the Big PLO-5 final table as one of the favourites. And he delivered.
After a gruelling 7.5-hour grind through a 277-entry minefield (128 unique), Gupta came out on top. It took a determined effort and 10 bullets, but he wasn’t settling for anything less than the top prize. His perseverance paid off as he collected ₹2.41 Lakhs for the win, writing his name boldly among the Tuesday champions and climbing to #31 on PokerBaazi’s 2025 POY Leaderboard.
Tarush Gupta’s online stats (PokerBaazi, Adda52 and Spartan Poker): Lifetime Winnings: ₹9.43 Crores | Lifetime Profits: ₹3.05 Crores | Titles Won in 2025: #8 | Annual Winnings: ₹1.19 Crores | Moves to #31 on #PokerBaazi’s 2025 POY Leaderboard
But it wasn’t a one-man show. The ever-reliable ‘harsh1327’ (anonymity requested), best known for winning the Patni Millionaire title and an incredible two The MoneyMaker bracelets, was locked in and laser-focused. Coming off a podium finish in Adda52`s The Ballers last Friday, they came within inches of a maiden Big PLO-5 win. With zero re-entries needed, they made every chip count, collecting a strong ₹1.81 Lakhs in second place.
The Big PLO-5 final table was a shark tank, featuring killers like last month`s #23 The MoneyMaker champion Prateek ‘DABANGG2’ Sharma (3rd for ₹1.20 Lakhs), last week`s The Quest finalist Pocket__aces’ (4th for ₹84,910), and the always-in-the-mix reigning WPT India Online Main Event champion Nitin ‘Gambler42’ Rawat (5th for ₹60,220).
Adding to a firecracker Tuesday on PokerBaazi, the ₹5,000 buy-in Big PLO-5 started its four-day weekly run with guarantee-crushing momentum. It generated an enticing ₹12.04 Lakhs prize pool, delivering excellent returns for PLO fans. With the top 41 players making the money and a min-cash of ₹10,240—over double the buy-in—the event proved again why it’s a must-play for five-card loyalists looking for action and +EV spots late into the night.

Tuesday night was packed with standout finishes on PokerBaazi, and Vishal ‘Darky’ Ojha featured prominently among them. Composed, sharp, and dialled in from the first hand, he blazed through the late-night grind like a man who knew exactly where he was headed.
Already riding high from a strong third-place finish in Monday’s The Big Show Lite and still warm from another third-place hit in Adda52’s Inception the previous week, Ojha came into PokerBaazi`s ₹10 Lakhs GTD Daily Last Chance with the kind of form that turns heads. And he didn’t disappoint.
The popular closing act of the night drew 587 entries (329 unique). After almost seven hours of chip slinging that stretched into early Wednesday morning, Ojha made his two bullets count and bagged the win like a seasoned closer, snapping up his third Daily Last Chance title and banking ₹1.95 Lakhs in the process. Three more cashes on Tuesday, two of them on Adda52, meant his total collections reached ₹2.21 Lakhs, and just like that, he now sits at #11 on PokerBaazi`s 2025 POY Leaderboard.
This Pune-based crusher isn’t just an online standout. A 2023 People’s Poker Championship nominee and the driving force behind Kolkata Wizards’ PSL Season 6 runner-up run last year, Ojha’s résumé is stacked. He has four IOPC titles and the 2023 Legend Poker Series Super High Roller trophy, where he collected a career-best ₹26.78 Lakhs. That same year, he made history in Hanoi as the first Indian to win a USOP Main Event title.
While 2025 kicked off on a quieter note, early wins in PokerBaazi’s WTF and The Quest Lite and runner-up finishes in Adda52’s Iron Man and NPS#120 WednesdayVolley, it hadn’t quite hit that breakout gear. But May flipped the switch. Four flagship titles, including #2 The MoneyMaker and BSS SuperStack, and June’s already opened with a bang.
> 1st in PokerBaazi’s Daily Last Chance for ₹1,95,000
> 42nd in Adda52’s The Mint for ₹9,872
> 9th in Adda52’s Tuesday Takedown for ₹7,891
> 58th in PokerBaazi’s Turbo Charge (6-Max) for ₹7,800
Vishal Ojha’s online stats (excluding Natural8 India and Junglee Poker): Lifetime Winnings: ₹6.96 Crores | Lifetime Profits: ₹2.21 Crores | Titles Won in 2025: #7 | Annual Winnings: ₹90.19 Lakhs | Moves to #11 on #PokerBaazi’s 2025 POY Leaderboard
While Ojha closed out the Daily Last Chance, another compelling story played out just a spot behind him. ‘Bluff900,’ a familiar presence on PokerBaazi since January 2023, carved their way through the field with the focus of a player chasing something bigger. The title may have slipped just out of reach, but the runner-up finish brought a site-best ₹1.28 Lakhs. An additional cash in The Endeavour (175th for ₹10,136) pushed their total Tuesday take to over ₹1.38 Lakhs, more than doubling their platform profits in a single night.

With guarantee-crushing turnouts across the board, the Daily Last Chance field was brimming with regulars looking to close the session with a big score. The final table brought plenty of fireworks, featuring Arshdeep ‘asg9966’ Singh (3rd for ₹95,710), Vaibhav ‘vaibhi18’ Arora (4th for ₹72,740), Vaibhav ‘Hailsatan’ Tyagi (6th for ₹50,790), Mohit ‘onitatit’ Savargaonkar (7th for ₹40,200) and Rajat ‘happyfish’ Mahajan (8th for ₹29,730).
The ₹2,500 buy-in Daily Last Chance proved why it is a must-play for late-night grinders. The prize pool swelled to ₹12.76 Lakhs, crushing the guarantee. With 94 players paid and a min-cash of ₹5,100, the returns were undeniable, keeping the electric Tuesday action on PokerBaazi buzzing well into Wednesday morning.

Junglee Poker`s ₹7.50+ Crores GTD Summer Showdown series continues to deliver high-value action and daily excitement. With crowd-favourite perks like 100% GST cover, a Welcome Bonus of up to ₹50,000, and 10% cashback, the series has been attracting grinders from across the country for one of the season’s most rewarding online poker festivals.
Day 10 of the festival kept the momentum alive with its usual double-header of marquee events and Qualifier 2 of the ₹25 Lakhs GTD Main Showdown. Anchoring the action was the ₹10 Lakhs GTD SS#19 Tuesday Phoenix, which drew a field of 309 runners—an eclectic mix of regulars and emerging talents all looking for a share of the seven-figure prize pool and those valuable bounties.
Making the biggest splash in this 8 PM flagship was lawyer-turned-poker-pro Anmol ‘Kaanchacheena’ Mehta, who delivered a vintage performance. The Delhi-based MTT crusher rolled back the years with a gritty, redemptive run that reminded the circuit why he’s regarded as one of the most consistent talents in the game. After an intense 8-hour and 17-minute marathon, Mehta captured his first-ever Summer Showdown title, walking away with ₹1.67 Lakhs, including ₹95,396 in bounties, his first win in almost two months!
For Mehta, this victory was more than just another title; it was the payoff for a determined comeback effort. He has been grinding steadily since his last major win in the Thursday Mini Highroller in February, working his way back into form. While his Spartan Poker Supreme victory in March hinted at a resurgence, last night`s win was a bold declaration that the Young Gun is back in the groove. His multi-platform run saw him add two more cashes to his nightly resume, closing out his Tuesday session with a total haul of just under ₹1.77 Lakhs.
> 1st in Junglee Poker’s SS#19 Tuesday Phoenix for ₹1,67,340* (₹95,396 in bounties)
> 21st in Adda52’s Tuesday Night Stacks for ₹5,513
> 107th in PokerBaazi’s The Endeavour Lite for ₹3,700
Also making a determined run in the SS#19 Tuesday Phoenix was site regular ‘dr.shani.’ Despite narrowly missing the top spot, ‘dr.shani’ walked away with a commendable second-place prize of ₹95,247, including ₹23,678 in bounties—a strong finish in a competitive field.
The Tuesday Phoenix final table brought together a formidable mix of seasoned regulars and in-form crushers. Prominent among them was Ashit ‘Cringing’ Sharma, who pulled out an incredible multi-platform tear. He finished runner-up in Spartan Poker’s Tuesday Classic and fourth in PokerBaazi`s The Endeavour. Continuing his hot streak, he battled his way to a seventh-place finish in this event, pocketing ₹31,525, with ₹14,250 coming from bounties. His five deep runs for the night saw him stack up over ₹4.54 Lakhs—another huge outing in what’s shaping up to be a strong week for the online powerhouse.
> 4th in PokerBaazi’s The Endeavour for ₹3,18,424
> 2nd in Spartan Poker’s Tuesday Classic for ₹91,934
> 7th in Junglee Poker’s SS#19 Tuesday Phoenix for ₹31,525* (₹14,050 in bounties)
> 27th in PokerBaazi’s The Endeavour Lite for ₹10,336
> 31st in Spartan Poker’s BB#13 Tuesday Spotlight for ₹2,207
Despite the stacked field, the SS#19 Tuesday Phoenix narrowly missed its ₹10 Lakhs guarantee, falling short by ₹73,000. That minor overlay only sweetened the deal for everyone who showed up. With 34 players finishing in the money and payouts starting at ₹7,511—over double the ₹3,450 buy-in—not to mention those juicy bounty prizes on offer, the event offered plenty of bang for the buck.

As the buzz builds for Adda52’s ₹28 Crores GTD Epic Poker Championship, the Tuesday action kept the wheels rolling with the platform’s regular lineup of flagship tournaments. Right in the thick of it was Delhi’s online beast, Anurag ‘NormanBates’ Srivastava, who continued his scorching run by capturing yet another major title, further fuelling what is becoming an unstoppable 2025 campaign.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know Srivastava is in the middle of a career-defining heater. His recent form has been off the charts. Coming into Tuesday after winning Spartan Poker’s Supreme on Friday and the Blockbuster Lite on Saturday, he set his sights on Adda52`s long-running ₹14 Lakhs GTD The Mint.
Srivastava stormed the 8 PM Tuesday mainstay with clear intent. After an early setback forced him to fire a second bullet, he locked in and put on a clinic. Navigating a challenging 311-entry field (167 unique) with his signature precision, he wrapped up things in just over six hours. It was his remarkable fourth career win in The Mint, a display of dominance in one of his favourite events, and added ₹2.66 Lakhs to his accolades. Even more impressive, this was his 23rd title of 2025—a staggering statistic highlighting his incredible consistency this year.
This blistering form was foreshadowed by Srivastava`s stellar showing at NPS India 2025, where he won four medals (2 Golds, 1 Silver, and 1 Bronze)—setting the tone for a breakout year. He charged through April with back-to-back Daily Last Chance titles on PokerBaazi before going ballistic in May, racking up nine victories that placed him at #3 on the monthly leaderboard. His May victories weren’t just about volume but flagship wins, such as The Quest Lite and the BSS SuperStack on PokerBaazi. He even came close to taking down the #8 and #26 editions of The MoneyMaker and Adda52`s The Ballers, finishing runner-up in all three. Still, he found the winner’s circle again by winning the Friday Mystery Bounty on Adda52—proof that even near-misses couldn’t slow his momentum.
But Srivastava, the 2020 IOPC The Millionaire – Main Event champion, wasn’t content with just one victory for the night. In true grinder fashion, he also made a deep run in the Tuesday Night Stacks for a fifth-place finish and cashed in PokerBaazi’s new TurboCharge (6-Max). This trio of results pushed his total Tuesday winnings to just shy of ₹3.11 Lakhs, just another day at the office for one of the most in-form players on the circuit.
> 1st in Adda52’s The Mint for ₹2,66,154
> 5th in Adda52’s Tuesday Night Stacks for ₹31,000
> 17th in PokerBaazi’s TurboCharge (6-Max) for ₹13,558
While Srivastava added another trophy to his cabinet, heads-up SNG specialist Aritra ‘flushnace’ Sengupta was hot on his heels. Chasing his first major victory in nearly three years, Sengupta played with focus and determination. He had come painfully close just days earlier with a fourth-place finish in The Ballers, and last night, he was once again within touching distance of getting the monkey off his back. He fired three bullets in The Mint and staged a deep run but fell just short, settling for a runner-up finish worth ₹1.95 Lakhs.
This was his fourth second-place finish of the year, following near-misses in Godfather (February 19), Adda52 Millions (March 29), and The Ballers (April 24), adding another chapter to his ongoing quest for a breakthrough win. He is clearly knocking on the door louder than ever.
Aritra Sengupta’s Adda52 stats: Site Winnings: ₹58.88 Lakhs | Site Profits: ₹23.32 Lakhs
The Mint final table was stacked, to say the least. Beloved streamer Ashutosh ‘akp125602’ Kumar delivered another solid performance, finishing third for ₹1,43,002. Young Gun Arsh ‘bigggtymer’ Grover took fourth for ₹76,833, while the red-hot ‘TheAceCrown,’ fresh off their Sunday Big Whale victory, continued their good run with a fifth-place finish for ₹76,833. Atishay ‘pokergod56’ Samuel took sixth for ₹56,318, while site loyalist Ramakrishna ‘KAdiamonds’ Sagi wrapped up the lineup in eighth, collecting ₹30,259.
Continuing a recent trend, The Mint, with its ₹4,200 buy-in, fell short of hitting its guarantee by ₹2.65 Lakhs, still a marked improvement over last week. The resulting overlay translated into excellent added value for the 47 players who made the money, with even a min-cash worth ₹9,872.
Adda52’s continued commitment to hosting these value-rich tournaments has it firmly positioned as a prime destination for grinders. For anyone not playing here, they are simply leaving money on the table.

Daily Majors: Ravi Kant Saraf Owns the Friday Spotlight, Banks Career-Best ₹15 Lakhs With #30 The MoneyMaker Bracelet Win!
The global poker community currently has its collective gaze fixed firmly on the glittering halls of Las Vegas. The 56th annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) is already four action-packed days into its iconic summer grind at the familiar Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, and two coveted bracelets have already found their new owners.
Team India’s charge at this prestigious festival is slowly but surely gathering steam, with early sightings of poker heavyweights like two-time GPI POY India Ankit Ahuja and WSOP regular Aditya S already sparking considerable buzz. The intense chase for gold is officially underway—first blood was drawn by Phovieng Keokham, who masterfully clinched the bracelet in Event #2: $500 Industry Employees No-Limit Hold’em. Just hours ago, the second bracelet of the series was awarded to David Shmuel, who conquered the field in Event #4: $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better. Even as these early champions celebrate, a whole litany of other events are barreling towards their exciting conclusions – this is merely the opening act in what promises to be a long and exceptionally busy summer on the famed Las Vegas strip.
Back on home turf, the virtual grind is hitting a veritable fever pitch, with India’s online poker scene staging high-voltage drama. PokerBaazi has been confidently steering the ship, headlined by its game-changing Upgrade 2025, which has revamped the entire playing experience with a slew of impressive new features that have the community talking. Front and centre in their tournament offerings is the powerhouse event, The MoneyMaker. This iconic tournament completed its 120th edition last night, continuing its legacy as the country’s longest-running single-flight tourney, boasting an eight-figure guarantee. With just one more edition of this daily May spectacle left (scheduled for tonight, Saturday!), before it transitions into a grander Sunday-only format in June (though, interestingly, there is no MoneyMaker listed for tomorrow, June 1), the excitement is nearing a full, vibrant boil.
And as this chapter of daily bracelet chases draws to a close, PokerBaazi is already rolling out the red carpet for its next marquee promotion—the grand ₹50 Crores GTD Summer Cash Carnival, which kicks off tomorrow, ensuring the high-energy action continues unabated.
The online felt is ablaze across other platforms too. Junglee Poker’s ₹7.50 Crores GTD Poker Premier League (PPL) is also on the cusp of the final climax of its blockbuster ₹50 Crores GTD Summer Festival, with the much-anticipated ₹1 Crore GTD PPL Main Event kicking off at 8 PM tonight. Adda52 is keeping the tempo decidedly high with its sizzling formats, while Natural8 India is making a serious splash with the ongoing World Festival 2025—the country’s biggest-ever online poker series, which continues to dole out serious cash prizes daily. With a new chapter of promotions and tournament formats about to begin, the month may be ending, but the poker action, it seems, is far from over.
Friday night delivered it all—newcomers blazing a trail, celebrated names breaking out of extended slumps, and a few familiar faces extending their reigns of dominance. One thing’s clear: whether it’s Vegas or the virtual arena, poker is on fire.
Packing the biggest punch of the day and lighting up the Friday night sky was Ravi Kant Saraf. He delivered a career-defining performance in PokerBaazi`s #30 The MoneyMaker, taking down this 120th edition for a personal-best ₹15 Lakhs and his first-ever championship bracelet. Building on a commendable final table finish in the BSS Super Value just last Sunday, this two-year regular on the platform masterfully navigated the over 10-hour grind. This phenomenal win didn’t just make him the day`s top scorer; it obliterated his previous best by more than 2.75 times and swung his platform earnings decisively back into the green. It was a sweet turnaround even as he continues to chip away at overall career losses.
Hot on his heels in that same The MoneyMaker was Varun Bothra, who scored big time in what was just his 38th tournament on PokerBaazi. He finished as the runner-up, a performance that translated into a massive career-high ₹9.78 Lakhs payday—a breakout moment on the site for the newcomer. Shivam Kumar Dubey continued his excellent 2025 performance, coming close to winning his fifth title of the year in the same The MoneyMaker. Having already finished runner-up in #1 The MoneyMaker at the start of this month, he took third place this time around, a result that added ₹7 Lakhs to his account—his second-biggest cash on the site. Dubey wrapped up his session with his total Friday haul nearing ₹7.14 Lakhs, thanks to his deep runs in another two events.
Over on Adda52, Sahil Mahboobani undeniably stole the show. The poker veteran added to his already red-hot streak by championing The Ballers for an incredible fourth time (his second this year), a performance that added ₹3.98 Lakhs to his coffers. He almost made it a two-title evening, finishing as the runner-up in the Friday Mystery Bounty for ₹1.29 Lakhs (₹56K in bounties), capping off a scorching Friday grind that saw his total earnings reach ₹5.67 Lakhs across five cashes. Another poker powerhouse, Advait Rajguru, finished as the runner-up in The Ballers, his efforts translating to ₹2.94 Lakhs. Adding another small cash, his Friday earnings tallied up to ₹2.99 Lakhs. The current POY #6 now has an impressive 31 final tables and 10 titles in 2025, keeping his elite run very much alive.
Debneil Mukherjee kept his exceptional run of form going by taking down PokerBaazi’s The Quest. This victory meant his bankroll saw an infusion of ₹5.04 Lakhs—his biggest score of 2025 and his third title in just two weeks. Another deep run pushed his Friday collections to over ₹5.21 Lakhs. ‘relentlessBluff’ added to a breakout week with a solid three-pronged attack on the PokerBaazi tables. They finished as the runner-up in The Quest for a site-best ₹3.03 Lakhs, not long after narrowly missing out on winning the (7-Max) Afternoon Boost for the second time in just a week, achieving second place for ₹61,043. Tossing in another sixth-place run in the Daily Last Chance for ₹70,525 late in the session, their account grew by almost ₹4.37 Lakhs across Friday—a massive statement from this promising Uttarakhand-based grinder, who has only played 16 tournaments on PokerBaazi.
Over at Natural8 India, ‘POKERPANTA’ made a smashing debut, finishing runner-up in the Friday Night Fight 5.50, which meant a ₹3.04 Lakhs prize in their first tracked score, outlasting most of the massive 14,384-entry field. Furukawa Shimpei was another standout on Natural8 India, shipping the Speed Racer Bounty Closer 108 for ₹1.27 Lakhs—his third win of 2025 and sixth overall turbo victory on the platform. His 2025 Natural8 India earnings have now crossed ₹10 Lakhs from just seven scores.
The string of big wins on PokerBaazi continued with Uppala Sai Raghu shipping the Daily Last Chance for the second time in his career. This performance meant ₹2.78 Lakhs went his way, his eighth title of 2025 and second in May. He posted another two deep runs, pushing his Friday earnings to ₹2.99 Lakhs. Deepak Sachdeva came close to ending a six-month search for a title, finishing as the runner-up for ₹1.84 Lakhs—his third-biggest cash and one that moved his PokerBaazi winnings past ₹50 Lakhs.
In The Quest Lite, the mysterious ‘Casinoclub’ claimed their first flagship title on PokerBaazi, a victory worth ₹1.93 Lakhs, in just their eighth tournament on the site. With another deep run on their Friday tally, their winnings for the night exceeded ₹1.94 Lakhs—an emphatic performance. Guneet Kwatra came very close to ending a long 17-month period without a title, finishing as the runner-up for ₹1.26 Lakhs in The Quest Lite. This score also pushed his tracked online winnings past the colossal ₹9 Crores figure, a clear reminder of the pedigree and persistence that have kept him a relevant figure in the game for years.
Adda52 saw some more elite play as another poker beast, Vishal Ojha, emerged triumphant in the Friday Mystery Bounty. His win yielded ₹1.80 Lakhs (₹82K in bounties), his first bounty title of 2025, and reignited his May hot streak. The Kolkata Wizards pro from the PSL Season 6 added three more cashes to end the day with over ₹2.26 Lakhs in total winnings. Already a #2 The MoneyMaker bracelet winner and BSS SuperStack champ this month, Ojha continues to dominate across formats.
Over on Junglee Poker, ‘mahi’ was the one celebrating in the PPL Friday Supernova, pocketing ₹1.44 Lakhs for their top finish.
Kudos also to Aditya Parashar, Pranay Chaudhry, Sanjay Kumar, Dayanand Prass, Jatin Sablani, and the in-form Siddharth Pandey, and ‘SPRINT King’ Pradip Ghosh, who all added marquee titles to their poker resumes in Friday’s packed and action-filled schedule.

May might be taking its final bow, but the poker inferno on PokerBaazi is still burning with the intensity of a thousand suns! With the game-changing Upgrade 2025 making waves and the relentless daily hunt for The MoneyMaker bracelets hitting its final stretch for the month, there’s been zero downtime—just more high-stakes drama, more captivating poker stories, and bigger dreams being chased.
And just as this chapter of daily bracelet chases closes, PokerBaazi is already rolling out the red carpet for the massive ₹50 Crores GTD Summer Cash Carnival, kicking off tomorrow! Plus, word on the virtual street is The MoneyMaker itself will be morphing into a Sunday special throughout June (though, curiously, no edition is on the slate for tomorrow). It’s clear the May madness is set to spill right over into a sizzling June!
Friday threw open the doors to the weekend with a proper bang, and all poker optics were dialled in on the ₹1 Crore GTD #30 The MoneyMaker—India’s legendary single-flight behemoth of a tournament, celebrating its mind-boggling 120th edition. Sharing the dazzling spotlight was the ₹30 Lakhs GTD The Quest, turning the night into a double-header of poker excellence. And with all the other major flagships, apart from The MoneyMaker, handily smashing their advertised guarantees for a refreshing change, the action on the platform was scorching hot!
The second-to-last bracelet contest of PokerBaazi’s month-long The MoneyMaker spectacle delivered a story for the ages. Ravi Kant ‘racebegins’ Saraf, a dedicated grinder on the platform for two years, stepped into the poker cauldron and emerged clutching the coveted bracelet. Having already signalled his rising form with a final table appearance in the BSS Super Value last Sunday, Saraf returned with a quiet determination. Over an intense 10 hours and 16 minutes, he navigated a massive field of 1,059 entries (583 unique) in this high-stakes Friday night poker war. At the end of that demanding marathon, he not only walked away with the bracelet but also a whopping ₹15 Lakhs – over 2.75 times his previous personal best, which came from a third-place finish in the BSS SuperStack last November. This monumental win didn’t just make up for past setbacks; it catapulted him into profitability on PokerBaazi in a huge way, even though he’s still looking to climb out of a seven-figure dip overall.
This was a defining moment for Saraf, a challenge met and conquered in grand style. On this unforgettable night, he transmuted poker battles into a career-defining victory, not only becoming Friday’s top earner but also proudly etching his name onto the illustrious scroll of The MoneyMaker champions!
Ravi Kant Saraf’s online stats (PokerBaazi and Adda52): Lifetime Winnings: ₹41.61 Lakhs | Titles Won in 2025: #1
But the #30 The MoneyMaker wasn’t just about Saraf`s impressive victory—it also served as the launchpad for another budding player. Varun ‘Varun18’ Bothra, a relatively new face on PokerBaazi (having joined just over two months ago), lit up the night with a dream run that had everyone taking notice, in what was only his 38th tournament played on the site. He made a stunning journey through the field to go toe-to-toe with Saraf in a gripping heads-up showdown. While Bothra didn’t walk away with the bracelet, he departed with something just as monumental. His runner-up finish came with a staggering ₹9.78 Lakhs payout, a striking score very early in his PokerBaazi journey and one that is sure to boost his confidence as he continues to chase more success on the virtual felt.

The journey to that coveted The MoneyMaker crown was, however, an arduous one. Lurking menacingly close, keeping the pressure at maximum, was Shivam ‘daddyaddy’ Kumar Dubey—a man fiercely hunting what would have been his fifth title of an already impressive year. Only last week, he had taken down Adda52’s Rapid Fire and swiftly followed that up with a podium finish in Big Whale this past Sunday.
This wasn’t his first dance with The MoneyMaker either. He had a fantastic start to the month with a runner-up finish in #1 The MoneyMaker, where he cashed for a personal best of ₹10 Lakhs. This time, he fought his way to a hard-earned third-place finish in #30 The MoneyMaker, adding another ₹7 Lakhs to his growing list of poker achievements—his second-biggest score on the platform.
But Dubey, a true virtuoso of the multi-table grind, wasn’t calling it a night there. He kept his foot on the pedal, making deep runs in two additional events, which saw his total earnings for the session climb to nearly ₹7.14 Lakhs.
> 3rd in PokerBaazi’s #30 The MoneyMaker for ₹7,00,000
> 36th in PokerBaazi’s Daily Last Chance for ₹8,286
> 31st in PokerBaazi’s The Quest Lite for ₹5,669
Shivam Kumar Dubey’s online stats (PokerBaazi, Adda52 and Spartan Poker): Lifetime Winnings: ₹3.14 Crores | Lifetime Profits: ₹1.17 Crore | Titles Won in 2025: #4 | Annual Winnings: ₹79.98 Lakhs | Annual Profits: ₹32.71 Lakhs
While somewhat surprising names claimed the top two spots in #30 The MoneyMaker, the remainder of the final table was a veritable shark tank, teeming with some of the circuit’s most dangerous talents. Rising Star Ritwik ‘Ritwikkhanna’ Khanna, already a champion of #16 The MoneyMaker, was back under the bright lights, chasing a second bracelet. He exited in fourth place, but not before collecting a solid ₹5.61 Lakhs. Snapping at his heels, Thiyam ‘thiyam’ Dannish of ‘The Circuit’ renown kept the heat on high, skillfully piloting his stack to a fifth-place finish worth ₹4.44 Lakhs. Rajat ‘happyfish’ Mahajan injected even more high-calibre play into the mix, taking sixth for ₹3.48 Lakhs. Mithil ‘Pokerstar0110’ Pingle finished in seventh, pocketing ₹2.60 Lakhs, while ‘Punitk’ rounded out this lineup of poker sharps in eighth place, achieving a site-best score of ₹1.87 Lakhs.
Keeping with the overlay-sprinkled narrative we’ve seen throughout the month, The MoneyMaker 120.0 also experienced a shortfall against its lofty guarantee, coming in ₹7.91 Lakhs shy of the ₹1 Crore mark. Despite this, with its ₹10,000 buy-in, the tournament still delivered massive payouts, rewarding the top 162 finishers with at least ₹17,000 each. Tonight might be the curtain call for the month’s daily The MoneyMaker editions, but as we’ve heard, the poker scene shows no signs of slowing its tempo. With the colossal ₹50 Crores GTD Summer Cash Carnival ready to launch and The MoneyMaker set for its Sunday special makeover, all signs point to this May poker inferno blazing a trail straight into an even hotter June!

As the week winds down and the weekend looms, PokerBaazi isn’t just warming up; they’re setting the place on fire with more than just eye-watering prize pools; it’s a full-blown festival of elite poker action that’s got India’s card sharps absolutely riveted, night after thrilling night. The main chatter in the poker corridors is the soon-to-drop ₹50 Crore GTD Summer Cash Carnival – billed as the season’s ultimate bash for cash game players. And all this is happening alongside PokerBaazi’s signature lineup of daily blockbuster tourneys and leaderboard chases that players have come to adore from India’s top online poker hub!
And if you haven’t heard, Upgrade 2025 is already sending ripples of excitement through the community. This revamp is hitting new highs in performance, design, and overall gameplay. Player feedback is coming in thick and fast, and the message is loud and clear: the latest reveal is smoother, smarter, and zippier than ever. Fuelling the excitement, the month-long The MoneyMaker extravaganza plays out its final May edition tonight before it morphs into a Sunday-only affair (though, curiously, there isn’t a MoneyMaker listed for tomorrow). With all the top-tier regulars hitting the tables and fresh talent making deep pushes, PokerBaazi is undeniably the thumping heart of India`s online poker scene.
True to form, Friday night on PokerBaazi was an explosion of action. All the big-name flagship events cruised past their guarantees, flipping a recent script – although the #30 The MoneyMaker did find itself with a bit of an overlay. The other prime-time attraction, the ₹30 Lakhs GTD The Quest, once again drew a strong crowd, even if it was a whisper quieter than the week before. Stepping out of the Friday night fray, radiating confidence, was the ever-formidable Debneil ‘ChhotaDon’ Mukherjee (opted out of our tracking)—a genuine giant on the Indian poker scene whose presence alone cranks up the intensity of any final table.
After a few months of relative quiet following his Bronze Medal in the NPS#6 Marathon and a runner-up finish in the Adda52 Millions in March, the Pune-based Mukherjee had been keeping a lower profile, patiently biding his time. And when he finally flicked the switch, man, did the lights come on. The wait ended with a thunderclap on May 17, when he announced his return to top form by taking down Adda52’s Friday Mystery. He followed that up a mere nine days later with a commanding victory in The Sundowner. A consistent presence at the final tables of big-ticket flagships – notably a fifth-place finish in the Godfather just the night before – Mukherjee was practically telegraphing that another big one was brewing, and then he went and did it.
Facing off against a challenging field of 605 entries (335 unique), Mukherjee entered the 8 PM headliner with clear intent. What ensued was a demanding eight-hour-and-twenty-minute tussle characterized by sharp reads, bold aggression, and clinical execution. In the end, Mukherjee stood tallest, walking away with The Quest title and a handsome ₹5.04 Lakhs top prize for his two-bullet effort – his top score for 2025 and a sharp nudge to everyone about the kind of firepower he packs. This victory not only signalled his return to peak form but also reminded the circuit exactly what he was capable of when the cards went his way – it was his third title in just a fortnight.
Mukherjee also made a notable run in the #30 The MoneyMaker, which helped his total Friday collections swell to over ₹5.21 Lakhs—another impactful performance by a genuine top-tier player.

The final obstacle in Mukherjee’s path was the red-hot mysterious grinder ‘relentlessBluff’ out of Uttarakhand—a player making some serious noise on the circuit. Riding a blistering run of form, they hit The Quest final table carrying some serious momentum, having won the Daily Last Chance last Saturday, taken down the (7-Max) Afternoon Boost on Thursday, and achieved a close runner-up finish in the same event shortly before The Quest began. That afternoon surge had certainly set the stage.
‘relentlessBluff’ matched Mukherjee’s firepower with two bullets of their own in The Quest and went toe-to-toe in a riveting heads-up showdown. But despite their relentless push, the finish line stayed just out of reach. They fell in second place, a close call that still beefed up their bankroll with a site-best ₹3.03 Lakhs from only their 16th tourney on the platform—another big hit in what’s been a real breakout period for this occasional contender.
But ‘relentlessBluff’ kept the momentum alive; they notched another final table finish later in the night—this time in the Daily Last Chance. Eyeing a second victory in the event within a week, their deep run ended in sixth place. Still, with this added score, they racked up a solid almost ₹4.37 Lakhs in cumulative Friday winnings: just another day at the office for one of the week’s hottest players, sending their profit line straight upwards!

The final table of The Quest was a veritable lineup of elite talent, with several recent high-performers locking horns! Finishing in third was Goa’s own Myron ‘priyankAAchoprAA’ Pereira, who kept his hot streak sizzling with another deep push. After a podium finish in Thursday’s Godfather, Pereira kept the momentum going to bag ₹2.42 Lakhs for his stellar performance. Experienced hand Rajat ‘LungFakeer’ Sharma, a recent Big Whale finalist, was next in line for fourth, his consistent play earning him ₹1.84 Lakhs. The ever-resilient Anamika ‘Bossbaby97’ Singh, who came second in Wednesday’s The Pride, also made a deep charge, finishing sixth and adding another ₹1.13 Lakhs to her recent run of good scores. Rounding out the known names in the top eight was Ritesh ‘Reddington’ Kothari, following a Blockbuster podium last Saturday, who picked up ₹73,205 for his eighth-place finish.
With its ₹5,750 entry fee, The Quest once again breezed past its ₹30 Lakhs guarantee, cooking up a prize pool of ₹30.25 Lakhs. The top 87 finishers got a taste of the prize money, with the smallest cash being a tidy ₹10,290. All told, PokerBaazi’s Friday night delivered another pyrotechnic display, locking its status as the prime arena for India’s tournament regulars and setting the groundwork for a supercharged weekend.

PokerBaazi’s popular late-night flagship—the ₹10 Lakhs GTD Daily Last Chance—lived up to its name once again last night, but this time with an extra dash of fireworks. The tournament not only beat its guarantee but smashed it by a massive ₹8.41 Lakhs—the highest of the month—attracting a huge field of 847 entries (432 unique) and creating a hefty ₹18.41 Lakhs prize pool.
After nearly seven hours of relentless poker action, Karnataka’s Uppala ‘Saiupp87’ Sai Raghu emerged victorious, clinching his second Daily Last Chance title in just four weeks. A familiar face on the platform for nearly a year, Raghu has been steadily building his profile, including a maiden NPS gold medal in NPS#98 Megadive earlier this March.
This latest triumph marked Raghu’s eighth title of 2025—and his second in May—netting him ₹2.78 Lakhs – his fifth-highest score of the year. But Raghu didn’t stop there; he carried his momentum forward, adding two more cashes yesterday, including a min-cash in #30 The MoneyMaker, taking his Friday tally to a solid ₹2.99 Lakhs.

The heads-up was no cakewalk, with Deepak ‘DEEPAKALLIN’ Sachdeva—a sporadic yet experienced player on the platform since March 2015—putting up a fierce fight. Sachdeva, determined to end a six-month title drought, fell just short but walked away with a well-deserved ₹1.84 Lakhs for his runner-up finish. This marked his third-biggest score on the platform and helped him cross the ₹50 Lakhs mark in lifetime PokerBaazi winnings.

The Daily Last Chance final table was stacked with contenders, including last Friday’s Daily Last Chance runner-up Sehej ‘UdixiAgain’ Singh, who finished third for ₹1.36 Lakhs, and Raghav ‘luckunlock’ Kakra, who placed eighth for ₹26,148.
With a ₹2,500 buy-in, the Daily Last Chance delivered exceptional value, dishing out a minimum payout of ₹5,156—more than double the buy-in—to each of the 120 top finishers.

PokerBaazi continues to prove it’s the biggest poker arena in the country—and Friday night was another textbook example. India`s leading poker platform, as always, dished out a tempting tournament spread that kept the adrenaline flowing and the chips moving well into the early hours of Saturday. All the big-name headliners (save for the #30 The MoneyMaker) effortlessly soared past their advertised guarantees.
One of the standout offerings on the menu was the ₹10 Lakhs GTD The Quest Lite. This 7:30 PM primetime brawl pulled in a packed house of 724 entries (417 unique), all clearly showing up ready for serious action.
And emerging from the fray in The Quest Lite was a name few saw coming — ‘Casinoclub.’ A relative newcomer, they joined PokerBaazi in September 2024 and had only played seven tournaments before Friday night. But that didn’t deter them from achieving what many seasoned regulars pursue for years. Rising through a field teeming with experienced grinders, ‘Casinoclub’ clinched their first flagship title on PokerBaazi, a breakout moment that could be the opening chapter of an exciting poker story.
It wasn’t entirely smooth sailing for ‘Casinoclub’. Their run began with an early setback, busting their first bullet before the real grind even began. But instead of folding under pressure, they regrouped, fired a second bullet, and reignited their title dreams. From there, it was a masterclass in patience and precision. Navigating through the minefield, they steadily chipped up, picking their spots and dodging danger with remarkable composure. And when the final river card hit the felt, it was ‘Casinoclub’ who stood victorious, clinching The Quest Lite title and pocketing a handsome ₹1.93 Lakhs payday. A breakthrough win that stamped their arrival in style.
With another deep run in the Boost, their Friday collections swelled to over ₹1.94 Lakhs—an incredible breakout performance for a newcomer who’s clearly just warming up.

While ‘Casinoclub’ celebrated that maiden title, the night concluded on a somewhat bittersweet note for another experienced contender. Guneet ‘guntz’ Kwatra—a long-standing figure in the game with a poker resume filled with some weighty achievements like the 2020 PMVS#24 Main Event title and a runner-up finish in the 2023 Masters#65 HighRoller—had been surprisingly quiet on the title front recently. Last night, however, he was on the edge of a long-awaited comeback. As the field shrank and the pressure intensified, the NPS#101 Marathon Bronze Medallist Kwatra’s experience came to the fore, and he found himself heads-up for the title. For a moment, it seemed like a one-and-a-half-year wait since his Daily Mini HighRoller victory in January 2024 was about to end.
But the poker gods had other ideas. Despite a gritty performance, the final stretch didn’t quite go his way. Kwatra departed in second place, earning a still-noteworthy ₹1.26 Lakhs and, in doing so, crossed the incredible ₹9 Crore mark in tracked online winnings.
While the title eluded him this time, his run was a clear reminder of the pedigree and persistence that have kept him a relevant figure in the game for years. And if Friday’s performance was any indication, that next title might just be around the corner.

The QuestLite final table featured some serious talent. Among them was Rohan ‘Toobigtofail’ Sharma, who arrived with good momentum after a podium finish in Wednesday’s The Pride Lite. Continuing his solid form, Sharma claimed another third place, this one worth ₹93,222. Joining him in the deep stages was Kunal ‘symbolicchamp’ Agrawal, coming off a Daily Morning SPRINT victory, also on Wednesday. Agrawal kept his positive run going with a fourth-place finish, adding ₹72,310 to his week’s earnings. Site regular Suchit ‘jefe24’ Save brought his experience to bear, finishing fifth for ₹59,839, while seasoned pro Bharat ‘Thinkfloyd’ Vasan posted a seventh-place finish worth ₹37,919.
As the competition for PokerBaazi’s Player of the Year crown heats up, every event is starting to feel particularly important, and The Quest Lite delivered. With just a ₹2,000 buy-in, the flagship pulled in a lively field that sent the prize pool soaring past its ₹10 Lakhs guarantee, creating a juicy ₹12.60 Lakhs pot. The top 111 finishers shared in these winnings, with a minimum payout of ₹4,540, making it a top-value spot for grinders and certainly auguring well for what looks set to be a sizzling June poker season!

As the monsoon season rolls in across the nation, Adda52 is making its own splash – a deluge of poker action and some seriously tempting prize pools. The platform, holding the distinction of being India’s longest-running online poker room (and one that’s seen a couple of ownership shuffles), is undeniably hitting a sweet stride again. With overlays becoming a familiar sight and a more robust daily tournament lineup, Adda52 has muscled its way back into the top-tier poker conversation, steadily covering distance on the current pacesetter, PokerBaazi.
Friday night saw the much-anticipated return of one of Adda52’s signature events, the ₹20 Lakhs GTD The Ballers, and it lived up to every bit of its high-energy reputation. The 8 PM flagship pulled in 203 entries (98 unique). This meant an even more significant overlay than the previous week, with a very noticeable ₹5.79 Lakhs in added value up for grabs – a shortfall of almost 29% against the guarantee. This arguably made it the tournament with the best financial upside anywhere last night, and the cat who pounced most effectively on this golden opportunity was Sahil ‘imhighishove’ Mahboobani!
The Gurgaon-based poker shark is riding a serious wave of form, consistently making deep runs in major tournaments. His Friday night triumph was no mere flash in the pan; Mahboobani has been in scintillating touch throughout 2025, already illuminating an incredible 40+ final tables and bagging at least six major titles before this latest conquest. In fact, just this week, he stormed the final tables of Adda52’s Inception and Wednesday Wonder, as well as PokerBaazi’s Big PLO-5 (on two occasions!). On Friday, he put on a multi-platform masterclass, cashing in five separate events and swelling his coffers by nearly ₹5.67 Lakhs, keeping his hot streak blazing!
But the undeniable jewel in his Friday grind was his victory in The Ballers. After firing two bullets in the 8 PM flagship, Mahboobani outmanoeuvred the entire field to win this event for an impressive fourth time—his second this year—and to see his account credited with ₹3.98 Lakhs.
True to his relentless style, Mahboobani was a blur of activity across multiple tables and nearly made it a double-title evening. He also powered his way to the heads-up stage of the Friday Mystery Bounty, where he landed in the second spot, adding ₹1.29 Lakhs to his day’s impressive tally (₹56,219 in bounty rewards). It was another virtuoso performance from one of the game’s brightest talents!

Making the final showdown in The Ballers a real knocker was the current POY #6, Advait ‘ronaldinho018’ Rajguru. Another beast of the online felt, the PokerGuru Staking coach, came in still riding high from a final table appearance in PokerBaazi’s The Summit Lite just the night before!
Rajguru’s 2024 was extraordinary: ₹4.42 Crores in winnings, translating to ₹2.12 Crores in profits, and a #5 finish on the POY leaderboard. He’s kept that high-octane pace going this year with 31 final table appearances and 10 title victories already to his name. A win in The Ballers would have been the 11th piece of silverware for his 2025 mantelpiece—and his second in this particular tournament—but Mahboobani denied him the victory. Rajguru walked away with a very respectable ₹2.94 Lakhs for his runner-up finish and also snagged a small cash in PokerBaazi’s The Quest Lite (69th for ₹4,535), which pushed his Friday earnings just a fraction above the ₹2.99 Lakhs mark.

And the star power wasn’t limited to the top two; The Ballers final table was brimming with well-known names down the line. Mohit ‘FloatingMonkey’ Bohra, the inaugural National Poker Champion and recent winner of #4 The MoneyMaker, currently enjoying a fantastic purple patch, claimed third place for ₹2.18 Lakhs. Praveen ‘praveen2626’ KR, fresh from his victory in Thursday’s Godfather Lite, landed in fourth for ₹1.62 Lakhs. Vaibhav ‘vane_shado’ Temani, who had taken down Monday’s Inception, finished fifth, earning ₹1.20 Lakhs, and ‘j4jolly’ (anonymity requested) completed this formidable final six with ₹88,626.
With that very generous ₹5.79 Lakhs overlay filled by the house, The Ballers provided excellent financial benefits for the players. The top 31 finishers earned payouts, with the min-cash set at ₹22,751—nearly three times the event’s ₹8,050 buy-in. With consistent top players like Mahboobani continuing to perform and such significant enhancements to the prize money, it’s safe to say that Adda52’s flagships continue to offer unbeatable value day in and day out—and the action’s only getting hotter.

Adda52’s Friday night poker spread has seriously levelled up, with the ₹10 Lakhs GTD Friday Mystery Bounty now serving as a tantalizing curtain-raiser to the weekly headliner, The Ballers! This 7 PM flagship, supercharged by those unpredictable mystery bounties, consistently draws packed fields and boasts player-friendly structures, once again delivering high-energy action. While it sported a modest ₹94,800 overlay this time, the tournament more than compensated with top-tier competition and some explosive performances.
And right in the eye of this poker maelstrom was the familiar and formidable Vishal ‘Darky’ Ojha, who spectacularly reignited his early May hot streak with a truly commanding display!
Ojha didn’t just show up on Friday; he arrived already blazing! He’d set the tone for May by capturing a coveted bracelet in #2 The MoneyMaker and snagging a runner-up finish in The Quest. Not stopping there, he proceeded to take down the BSS SuperStack the following Sunday, and then mid-month, he reminded everyone of his prowess by winning the Daily Last Chance.
Fast forward 18 days from that last victory, and Ojha again ascended to the winner’s throne. He expertly navigated a tricky 248-entry (115 unique players) minefield in the Friday Mystery Bounty to claim his first bounty tournament title of 2025. His impressive ₹1.80 Lakhs prize for this conquest included a very chunky ₹82,026 in bounty prizes—a fitting reward for his sharp, aggressive play and undeniable tournament acumen.
But this wasn’t just another win; it was a bold declaration. The 2023 People’s Poker Championship nominee and a key pillar of the Kolkata Wizards’ runner-up finish in Pocket52 PSL Season 6 last year, Ojha’s poker resume is already glittering:
> Four IOPC titles
> The 2023 Legend Poker Series Super High Roller crown (a massive ₹26.78 Lakhs score)
> The distinction of being the only Indian USOP Main Event champion (Hanoi, 2023)
And the grind didn’t halt with the Mystery Bounty trophy. Ojha powered through to three more deep runs on Friday, pushing his earnings for the day past the ₹2.26 Lakhs figure—another flag firmly planted by this bona fide poker titan!
> 1st in Adda52’s Friday Mystery Bounty ₹1,79,798* (₹82,026 in bounties)
> 13th in Adda52’s The Ballers for ₹31,747
> 74th in PokerBaazi’s The Quest for ₹10,285

While Ojha was busy delivering the final, decisive blows in the Friday Mystery Bounty, the omnipresent Sahil ‘imhighishove’ Mahboobani was, as usual, putting on a clinic—crushing tables, scaling leaderboards, and raking in chips with the relentless efficiency of a poker artisan. This Gurgaon-based maestro is undeniably one of India’s most consistent online MTT virtuosos, and he’s been operating at a jaw-dropping frequency this year. Coming into Friday`s grind, he’d already chalked up over 40 final table appearances and six title victories in 2025. This week alone, he had graced the final tables of Adda52’s Inception and Wednesday Wonder, alongside PokerBaazi’s Big PLO-5 (twice!).
But Friday was peak Mahboobani—a masterclass in poker endurance and skill.
His crowning achievement of the night was winning Adda52’s The Ballers for an incredible fourth time (his second in 2025). Firing two bullets in that 8 PM flagship, he came out on top and his bankroll increased by ₹3.98 Lakhs—a standout highlight even in a well-decorated year.
Yet his session had more in store. He came very close to achieving a double-title night, finishing as the runner-up to Ojha in the Friday Mystery Bounty. That effort added ₹1.29 Lakhs to his winnings, including ₹56,219 in bounties. With five total scores, Mahboobani’s Friday earnings climbed to nearly ₹5.67 Lakhs—another clinical display of volume, precision, and stamina.

The Friday Mystery Bounty final table was a lively mix of seasoned sharks and up-and-coming talents, including Vikram ‘vikram2323’ Mishra (4th for ₹1.04 Lakhs) (₹64,568 in bounties), Wednesday`s Big PLO-5 champ on a roll Arjanveer ‘arjan30’ Singh Chadha (5th for ₹48,386) (₹19,114 in bounties), this past Sunday`s PPL Weekly Finale 4 winner Mohsin ‘gongo’ Shaikh (6th for ₹31,653) (₹10,000 in bounties), and K ‘Reddiered07’ Chakradhar Reddy (7th for ₹26,016) (₹10,000 in bounties).
The ₹4,200 buy-in Friday Mystery Bounty, in keeping with Adda52’s other Friday major tournaments, maintained its player-friendly approach, sporting a ₹94,800 overlay – a slightly tighter margin than the week before. The top 35 finishers navigated their way into the payout zone, each walking away with at least ₹4,789 — and that’s before even factoring in any mystery bounties they managed to snag along their journey. Between these enticing overlays, rewarding payouts and an ever-competitive field brimming with familiar poker warriors and bright new talents, Adda52’s Friday night offerings certainly packed everything players look forward to!

Online Rankings: Sanat Mehrotra`s Insane Form Lands Him on Top of Weekly & Monthly Charts; Tarun Goyal’s POY Dominance Stretches to 14 Weeks!
In this feature, we bring you the top three weekly, monthly, and yearly performers every Sunday. These rankings are based on cumulative winnings (cashes). However, the rankings only include players registered to our online ranking system, so hurry up and register if you haven’t signed up on PokerGuru yet!
May has kicked off with an undeniable explosion of poker action, and things are already hitting a record pace! PokerBaazi is right at the front and centre of that firestorm with its iconic ₹1 Crore GTD The MoneyMaker, now a daily fixture this month. For 31 straight days, championship bracelets and seven-figure scores are up for grabs every night. Unsurprisingly, the leaderboards are already starting to feel the tremors.
But PokerBaazi isn’t the only platform cranking up the heat. Natural8 India is running at full steam with the World Festival 2025, billed as India’s biggest-ever tournament series and holding the potential for more leaderboard-disrupting monster payouts. Adda52’s revamped flagship offerings, and Junglee Poker’s massive ₹7.50 Crores GTD Poker Premier League (PPL), the final act of its grand ₹50 Crores GTD festival, are all combining for a full-blown summer grindfest across every major platform.
With massive prize pools and high-stakes tournaments unfolding daily, another Super Sunday is already underway, promising plenty of leaderboard turbulence. Still, at the peak of the 2025 Player of the Year (POY) mountain, the elite trio at the top refuses to budge, even though there have been notable shuffles further down the order. And with such explosive action all around, more upheavals can certainly be expected.
Tarun Goyal’s Reign Continues: 14 Weeks at the POY Helm!
Tarun Goyal just won’t let go. His ironclad hold on the 2025 Player of the Year (POY) leaderboard now stretches into its 14th consecutive week, continuing a run of form that has already entered legendary territory. The only other player to show such sustained command was Young Gun Gaurav Sood, the three-time POY himself!
Goyal’s 2024 campaign was already the stuff of Indian poker folklore—a staggering ₹12.39 Crores in tracked winnings and nearly ₹10 Crores in profit. This record-shattering achievement can safely be called the greatest single-year performance ever by an Indian player. He has carried that white-hot momentum into 2025 with ruthless efficiency, highlighted by an explosive ₹2.74 Crores heater in February. That early surge gave him a commanding head start in his bid for a repeat POY title, a lead he has been clinging to tenaciously ever since.
After a relatively brief quiet spell, Goyal stormed back onto the scene in the second half of April, posting a fifth-place finish in Natural8 India’s Bounty Hunters HR 525 that added ₹22.81 Lakhs to his coffers. This helped him end the month ranked #4 on the monthly leaderboard, with ₹26.95 Lakhs in April winnings.
This past week, he logged just one score—a ₹2.46 Lakhs cash in the Sunday Showdown 250. Despite the slower week by his lofty standards, Goyal’s 2025 scorecard is astounding: ₹4.74 Crores in winnings and ₹2.64 Crores in profits. He still holds a near 14% lead over his closest challenger, but with his once-daunting advantage steadily shrinking, this race is a long way from being settled.
Anant Purohit Piles on the Pressure in POY Chase
The 2025 POY race has a very serious challenger in Anant Purohit, who continues to breathe right down Tarun Goyal‘s neck. After finishing as the runner-up in last year’s POY standings, Purohit hasn`t let up one bit, and he’s doing what he does best: consistently stacking up deep scores, week after week, especially over on Natural8 India.
His biggest turning point this year arrived in late March with that monstrous ₹1.92 Crores win in the PLOSSUS Bounty 400. That victory wasn’t just the highlight of his career to date—it made him March’s top earner and dramatically closed the gap on Goyal in the annual rankings.
But Purohit didn’t hit the brakes there. April saw him double down on his efforts, particularly during the Omaholic series. He posted back-to-back runner-up finishes in the Omaholic Bounty Hunters HR 525 (₹12.98 Lakhs) and the Omaholic Sunday Bounty Big Game 215 (₹6.55 Lakhs). That relentless run of scores helped him top the April leaderboard with ₹34.97 Lakhs in winnings and a superb ₹21.43 Lakhs in profits!
After dominating the monthly charts back-to-back, Purohit has charged out of the gates in May. On Monday, he placed fourth in The European Classic 320, raking in a scorching ₹16.58 Lakhs. He ended the week fourth in total winnings with ₹17.14 Lakhs collected and ₹14.02 Lakhs in profits. Currently, he sits fifth in the May monthly standings, already boasting ₹18.12 Lakhs in winnings and ₹11.68 Lakhs in profits in the new month.
That leaves him with an astounding ₹4.14 Crores in annual winnings and ₹1.28 Crores in profits for the year. The message is loud and clear: the POY race is very much on. Purohit is surging, and Goyal still leads, but if recent history is any indication, we’re heading towards another gripping contest between India’s two most consistent poker beasts. The POY belt is far from decided.
Ankit Bajaj Stands Resolute: Holding the POY #3 Spot!
Ankit Bajaj maintains his #3 position on the POY leaderboard, staying just behind the frontrunners Tarun Goyal and Anant Purohit. While the gap to the top two remains considerable, Bajaj’s consistency throughout the year has kept him firmly in the top-tier mix.
His breakout moment this year came on March 2, when he bagged a jaw-dropping ₹1 Crore mystery bounty on Natural8 India, a game-changing score that placed him among an elite club of just six Indian players to have recorded an eight-figure tournament payday. That windfall launched him directly into the POY spotlight, and he has been holding on tight to a podium spot ever since.
Since that life-changing score, Bajaj has quietly built on his foundation with a steady stream of results. Although the last few weeks have been quieter for him, his 2025 tally remains solid, with ₹1.46 Crores in total winnings and ₹91.02 Lakhs in profits.
However, with players like Rajneesh Thakur and Advait Rajguru rapidly gaining ground, Bajaj will likely need another big finish soon to protect his #3 rank as the POY race continues to tighten.
POY Mid-Pack Moves: The Chase for the Top Tier Intensifies!
While the top three positions in the 2025 POY standings have remained unchanged for weeks, the contest beneath them is becoming increasingly competitive. With Ankit Bajaj yet to post any major scores recently, his grip on the #3 spot is under pressure, and the pack of players behind him is closing in fast.
Rajneesh Thakur, a true volume machine and an ever-present name on the tournament leaderboard (TLB) charts, has climbed back into the #4 position. His tireless grind continues to yield rewards, pushing his 2025 earnings to ₹1.39 Crores with ₹54.40 Lakhs in profits, keeping him within striking range of making the coveted podium.
Just behind him, Advait Rajguru slides back slightly to #5 after a brief ascent last week. The PokerGuru Staking coach and a 2024 POY top-five finisher remains a consistently strong presence on the circuit, holding firm with ₹1.37 Crores in winnings and an excellent ₹80.01 Lakhs in profits for the year.
Making the biggest move of the week is Young Gun Sanat Mehrotra, who leaps from #9 to #6 in the annual standings. Following a standout April and an insane start to May, Mehrotra now sits with ₹1.30 Crores in winnings and a striking ₹92.79 Lakhs in profits—putting him right in the thick of the POY race and firmly among the top contenders to watch as the summer poker action heats up.
Sanat Mehrotra’s May Mayhem: Dominating Weekly & Monthly Charts
Young Gun Sanat Mehrotra, who closed out April as the #2 ranked player on both the monthly and weekly charts (for the last week of April), has kicked off May in blistering form. His phenomenal current streak has also given him a massive boost in the overall leaderboard race.
Mehrotra has been going deep in some of the biggest tournaments around with uncanny consistency! After finishing as the runner-up in PokerBaazi`s The Summit last Thursday, Mehrotra kept that positive momentum rolling. By Tuesday, he was back on the podium with a third-place finish in The MoneyMaker 96.0, a performance that added ₹7 Lakhs to his name. He followed that up on Thursday with another strong third-place run, this time in Adda52’s Thursday Thunder. But the undeniable highlight of his week came on Friday, when he shipped PokerBaazi’s The MoneyMaker 99.0, earning a massive ₹15 Lakhs and becoming just the sixth player ever to claim two The MoneyMaker bracelets.
That phenomenal string of results launched him straight to the top of both the weekly and monthly standings. Mehrotra banked an incredible ₹25.51 Lakhs in weekly winnings with ₹23.33 Lakhs in profits, pushing his May tally already to a lofty ₹31.17 Lakhs in winnings and ₹27.69 Lakhs in profits.
His outstanding recent play has also powered him up the 2025 POY leaderboard, where he now sits at #6, boasting ₹1.30 Crores in total winnings and ₹92.79 Lakhs in profits for the year.
Vishal Ojha on Fire: Pune Pro Storms to #2 in May Standings!
Vishal Ojha, a name already etched in Indian poker history as the country’s only USOP Main Event champion, is blazing through May with a string of high-impact performances that have vaulted him to #2 on the monthly leaderboard. The Pune-based pro has already pulled in ₹30 Lakhs in winnings and an excellent ₹25.31 Lakhs in profits this month, riding a dominant wave of results across top-tier tournaments.
His current heater caught fire last Friday night, when he raked in a staggering ₹18.66 Lakhs in a single session. The crown jewel of that incredible run was his victory in #2 The MoneyMaker on PokerBaazi, where his bank account got a ₹15 Lakhs infusion—his biggest score of 2025 so far and the second-largest online cash of his entire career. He also placed as the runner-up in The Quest on the same night, which added another ₹3 Lakhs to his tally.
Ojha’s momentum carried straight into Sunday, where he took down the BSS SuperStack for ₹6.95 Lakhs, and continued on Monday, with a sixth-place finish in The Big Show good for ₹1.12 Lakhs.
Gopal Bajaj: Upcoming Star Shines at #3 For May
Gopal Bajaj, undeniably one of the brightest young talents on the rise in Indian poker, is currently ranked #3 on the May leaderboard. He’s already accumulated ₹23.03 Lakhs in winnings and ₹14 Lakhs in profits this month.
The Maharashtra-based pro, who narrowly missed out on topping the NPS state leaderboard—just falling short of Zarvan Tumboli‘s last-day clutch Bronze Medal finish in NPS#190 Golden Rush—has shown no signs of slowing down his pace.
Bajaj has been firing on all cylinders this month. He’s already notched up seven final table finishes in May, most notably finishing as the runner-up in #3 The MoneyMaker, where he bagged a very solid ₹10 Lakhs. With such consistency and firepower on display, Bajaj isn’t just chasing the monthly crown—he’s staking his claim as a serious contender for the rest of the year.
Rounding Out May’s Early Frontrunners
Just behind this leading trio, Mohit Bohra, India’s first National Poker Champion, continues to turn heads. His May winnings are already at ₹21.37 Lakhs, with ₹11.68 Lakhs in profits, keeping him firmly in the monthly spotlight in the #4 position.
POY contender Anant Purohit, never far from the top of any leaderboard, is currently ranked #5 for May. He has also made his presence known loud and clear with ₹18.12 Lakhs in monthly winnings and a matching ₹11.68 Lakhs in profits, adding another highly consistent month to his already explosive 2025 campaign.
Meanwhile, Rishabh Gupta has quietly pieced together a very strong showing and is ranked #6 for May. He’s racked up ₹17.5 Lakhs in winnings and a noteworthy ₹13.19 Lakhs in profits, rounding out the current list of May’s top-performing players.
Mohit Bohra’s Power Week: National Champ Grabs Weekly #2 Spot!
Mohit Bohra, India’s first National Poker Champion, is keeping his momentum red-hot. The Gujarat-based pro delivered yet another statement-making week, clinching the #2 spot on the weekly leaderboard with ₹20.94 Lakhs in winnings and an excellent ₹18.73 Lakhs in profits.
It all came together for Bohra last Sunday, when he captured PokerBaazi’s The MoneyMaker 94.0 for a massive ₹15 Lakhs—his biggest cash ever on the platform and his second-largest score overall. He nearly made it a dream double on the day, also finishing as the runner-up in Adda52’s Mystery Bounty for another ₹3.96 Lakhs. With two more deep runs added into that mix, his Sunday earnings soared past ₹19.11 Lakhs.
The heater didn’t stop there either. On Wednesday, he shipped his second title of the week, taking down Junglee Poker’s PPL Wednesday Superstack, a victory that added ₹1.46 Lakhs to his account.
These powerful performances have also pushed Bohra to #4 on the May monthly leaderboard, with ₹21.37 Lakhs in winnings and ₹11.68 Lakhs in profits, proving that winning the National Poker Champion title was just the beginning of a new chapter for him.
Rishabh Gupta’s Grand Week: Clinching #3 on the Weekly Charts!
Rishabh Gupta also put together an excellent run this past week to earn himself the #3 spot on the weekly leaderboard, notching up ₹17.31 Lakhs in winnings and a tidy ₹13.59 Lakhs in profits.
The highlight of his week came Tuesday, when he finished seventh in Natural8 India’s Bounty Hunters Daily Main 55, a score worth a neat ₹6.76 Lakhs. A day earlier, on Monday, Gupta had already clinched a big win by taking down PokerBaazi’s The Big Show, a performance that added another ₹5 Lakhs to his weekly total.
Weekly Shoutouts: Anant Purohit, Rahul Purohit & Omkar Nath Also Make Big Moves!
Anant Purohit wasn’t far behind, finishing #4 on the weekly leaderboard. His efforts added ₹17.14 Lakhs to his winnings and ₹14.02 Lakhs to his profits, reinforcing his reputation as one of the circuit’s most consistently high-performing players.
Rahul Purohit (who bagged a second championship bracelet in The MoneyMaker 96.0) earned the #5 spot on the weekly charts, putting up ₹16.85 Lakhs in winnings with an excellent ₹15.41 Lakhs in profits, in what stands out as one of his most profitable weeks of the entire year so far.
Omkar Nath rounded out the top six weekly performers at #6, thanks to his breakthrough win in The MoneyMaker 95.0. That victory brought his weekly total to ₹16.57 Lakhs in winnings and ₹15.71 Lakhs in profits.

Natural8 India Newcomer ‘24-7 Tilt’ Explodes Onto Scene With ₹21.74 Lakh Sunday Score! National Poker Champion Mohit Bohra Binks #4 The MoneyMaker Title!
May blasted off with intense online poker action, and the month’s first Sunday lived up to the hype. While Indian players were making waves internationally at APT Taipei (hat tip to Nishant Kumar for his monster ₹1.15 Crore score for finishing fifth in the record-breaking Main Event!), the virtual felts back home were buzzing.
Sunday saw a swarm of players hitting the tables, with the usual heavy hitters making their presence known across all major platforms. Natural8 India flexed its muscle, drawing top talent and generating hefty prize pools as its Omaholic Series 2025 wraps up today. PokerBaazi served up its signature Sunday spread, headlined by the daily ₹1 Crore GTD The MoneyMaker (which ran its fourth edition last night as part of its month-long daily schedule) and bolstered by the Baazi Super Sunday (BSS) flagships that kept the action flowing all evening.
Over on Adda52, the ₹1.50 Crores GTD Masterminds Arena Bounty Series played out its final chapter, bringing an action-packed series to a close. Meanwhile, Junglee Poker kept the competitive spirit high with its ongoing Poker Premiere League (PPL).
While Sunday nights always hum with activity, one name utterly dominated the conversation: ‘24-7 Tilt.’ Making a grand entrance on Natural8 India, this mystery player didn’t just test the waters – they dove headfirst into the deep end, taking on the massive Bounty Hunters Sunday Main Event 55. Facing down a colossal field of 24,125 entries is a daunting task for anyone, but ‘24-7 Tilt’ navigated the chaos like a veteran. Their spectacular debut finished with a jaw-dropping sixth-place result worth ₹21.74 Lakhs – the single largest score recorded across any platform for the day. Quite the way to say “hello.”
Just behind them on the Sunday leaderboard was India’s first National Poker Champion, Mohit Bohra. Fresh off that historic win, Bohra added another major title by taking down PokerBaazi’s #4 The MoneyMaker, banking ₹15 Lakhs – his largest score on the platform and second-biggest cash overall. The Gujarat-based pro came agonizingly close to an incredible double-title night, finishing runner-up in Adda52’s Mystery Bounty for another ₹3.96 Lakhs. Adding two more cashes, Bohra’s Sunday earnings soared past a staggering ₹19.11 Lakhs.
The MoneyMaker also delivered a fantastic story for runner-up Aditya Bagaria. He spun a ₹1,435 satellite entry into a life-changing ₹10 Lakhs payday – an insane 697x return on investment and his first seven-figure score on PokerBaazi, completely rewriting his stats sheet. Another player continuing a hot run was Jalgaon’s Pranav Zarekar, who grabbed third place for ₹7.37 Lakhs – a new personal best. Two more cashes saw Zarekar finishing his Sunday session nearly ₹7.56 Lakhs richer.
Vishal Ojha finally conquered a demon, taking down the BSS SuperStack title on PokerBaazi after three previous runner-up finishes in the same event. His win earned him ₹6.95 Lakhs following a heads-up deal and felt extra sweet coming just two days after a monster Friday that included a ₹15 Lakhs MoneyMaker victory. Ojha added two more cashes, boosting his Sunday total to ₹7.26 Lakhs and climbing to #2 on PokerBaazi’s 2025 POY Leaderboard. The other player in the deal, Gujarat’s ‘RampageR1,’ also had a banner night, collecting a personal-best ₹5.55 Lakhs from the chop and ending the day with ₹5.74 Lakhs overall.
Rising Star Aman Parakh‘s incredible form continued unabated. He achieved a commanding repeat victory in the Adda52 Millions, claiming the title for the second consecutive week and adding ₹4.97 Lakhs to his coffers. This win was the centrepiece of another high-impact Sunday for Parakh, who notched four additional deep runs, accumulating ₹5.40 Lakhs in total winnings for the night. And where there’s a major final table, there’s often Young Gun Gaurav Sood. The legendary three-time POY delivered another sharp performance, recording back-to-back runner-up finishes in the Adda52 Millions (for ₹3.68 Lakhs – an event he’s won 11 times!) and the MMA High Roller PKO (for ₹1.03 Lakhs). With another deep run added, Sood’s Sunday take reached nearly ₹4.94 Lakhs, reinforcing why he remains one of India’s elite players.
Aditya Sushant put another jewel in his impressive 2025 crown with a decisive win in Adda52’s MMA Main Event, banking ₹3.74 Lakhs. This victory topped off a stellar week for India’s first WSOP bracelet winner, who had won The Ballers just days earlier. Sushant cashed in six more MTTs across PokerBaazi and Adda52, pushing his Sunday earnings beyond ₹4.37 Lakhs and jumping to #17 on PokerBaazi’s POY rankings. Meanwhile, Adda52 regular ‘Ace2311’ made a strong return after some time away from the grind, finishing runner-up in the same event. Their ₹2.76 Lakhs payout was not only a personal best but nearly nine times their previous top score on the site – a potential signal of bigger things to come.
Anmol Narang broke a six-week title drought by taking down Adda52’s Mystery Bounty. The former The Millionaire champion pocketed ₹3.81 Lakhs, including a healthy ₹1.56 Lakhs in bounties – his third title in 2025 and second-best score on the platform. Adding two more cashes, Narang’s Sunday haul exceeded ₹2.62 Lakhs.
Keeping the Narang name in light, Ankush Narang continued his recent upward trend on PokerBaazi, winning the BSS Super Value for ₹3.12 Lakhs via a heads-up deal. This was his best score of the year and came just two weeks after he broke his own dry spell. This third title of 2025 points towards a strong return to form. Sreeharsha Boneni nearly ended his own two-month search for a title in the same event, settling for second in the deal for ₹3.08 Lakhs – his highest score this year. Two more cashes on Adda52 meant Boneni finished the day nearly ₹3.20 Lakhs richer.
Natural8 India saw more notable performances beyond the headline grabber:
- Rahul Batheja, also making his Natural8 India debut, finished ninth in the Sunday Kickstarter 100 for ₹3.69 Lakhs.
- Ganesh Durgade came close in the Sunday Hypersonic 20, with a runner-up finish on his platform debut worth ₹3.39 Lakhs.
- Tarun Goyal, the current 2025 POY frontrunner, padded his stats further, finishing 107th in the Sunday Showdown 250 for ₹2.46 Lakhs, pushing his annual earnings towards an astounding ₹4.74 Crores.
Rounding out a power-packed Sunday, several other players claimed standout victories: Shubham Agrawal took down Junglee Poker’s PPL Weekly Finale 1 for ₹2.72 Lakhs. On PokerBaazi, ‘ak457’ won the late-night Daily Last Chance for ₹1.71 Lakhs, the in-form Praveen KR conquered the (6-Max) BSS SPRINT for ₹1.50 Lakhs, and Babeesh P started his Sunday strong by winning the BSS Kickoff for ₹1.20 Lakhs. Adda52’s MMA Highroller PKO title went to ‘Gummy007,’ who banked ₹1.45 Lakhs.
Finally, shout-outs to Prateek Sharma and Sumit Ghosh, who both added Sunday titles to their records!
Here are the Sunday highlights!
PokerBaazi
#4 The MoneyMaker – ₹1 Crore GTD
Buy-in – ₹10,000
Entries – 532
Re-entries – 413
Prize Pool – ₹1,00,00,000
Places Paid – 146
The first Sunday of May didn’t just arrive; it detonated on PokerBaazi with the much-anticipated daily return of the legendary The MoneyMaker, and it’s already living up to the hype. India’s longest-running ₹1 Crore GTD single-flight tournament is back in town – not for a cameo, but settling in for a nightly residency throughout May. That’s 31 straight days of high-stakes poker action, 27 more champions waiting to be crowned, and 27 golden chances for players to rewrite their destinies.
Sunday was already primed for action, with the regular Baazi Super Sunday (BSS) headliners drawing crowds. But the real centrepiece, the event everyone was circling, was the day’s main attraction — #4 The MoneyMaker, boasting that massive ₹1 Crore guarantee. Despite the palpable excitement, it was a tough day for guarantees across the board; nearly every major event on PokerBaazi fell short, with only the Daily Last Chance bucking the trend. The MoneyMaker itself had its biggest shortfall yet this month, drawing 945 entries (532 unique).
And when the smoke finally cleared, after nearly ten hours of intense poker warfare, Mohit ‘bullets777’ Bohra – the man whose name has been lighting up headlines, India’s first-ever National Poker Champion – added his name to The MoneyMaker hall of fame. He didn’t just win this one; he almost won another big one over on Adda52, wrapping up Sunday over ₹19.11 Lakhs richer. The 26-year-old from Gujarat is making his mark. That’s title number six for him in 2025, and perhaps his second most memorable one yet!
Bohra’s recent form hasn’t just been good; it’s been downright legendary. At NPS India 2025, he was a one-man wrecking crew, playing all 191 events, cashing in 126, and racking up ₹36.96 Lakhs in series winnings. His extraordinary consistency and commitment earned him the #5 spot on the NPS Series Leaderboard (netting an additional ₹8 Lakhs in leaderboard prizes). His five-medal collection (3 Gold, 2 Silver) also made him the Gujarat State Champion (adding a ₹2 Lakhs prize) and punched his ticket to the National Poker Champion showdown in Goa. There, following four days of demanding matches (watched by a nation via live stream on JioHotstar and updates on PokerGuru), he triumphed – carving his name into history as the inaugural National Poker Champion, collecting an eye-watering ₹1 Crore winner-takes-all prize, and triggering a ₹1 Crore exclusive freeroll for all Gujarat players.
That special NPC State FreeRoll wrapped up last weekend, with Dhawal Lachhwani claiming the top prize of ₹10 Lakhs, while Bohra himself managed a 57th-place finish for ₹29,000!
Back to last night’s #4 The MoneyMaker: Bohra fired three bullets in the 7:30 PM showstopper and coolly navigated the field of 532 players (945 total entries). For conquering the beast, his account got a ₹15 Lakh injection – his biggest MTT score this year, his best PokerBaazi result ever, and career-wise, second only to that ₹21.30 Lakhs he scooped for fourth in Spartan Poker’s 2023 Legend Poker Series Main Event.
But Bohra’s Sunday story had more chapters. Hopping over to Adda52, he came incredibly close to achieving a sensational double-title night. Entering the ₹25 Lakhs GTD Mystery Bounty twice, he reached the final hurdle, eventually finishing as the runner-up. While the title slipped away, he still walked away with ₹3.96 Lakhs, a sum significantly boosted by pulling ₹2.32 Lakhs in bounties.
Two smaller cashes elsewhere pushed his total Sunday winnings past the ₹19.11 Lakh mark. This incredible haul made him the second-biggest winner across the major platforms yesterday, trailing only Natural8 India debutant ’24-7 Tilt,‘ who pulled off a stunning ₹21.74 Lakhs score for sixth place in the Bounty Hunters Sunday Main Event 55.
> 1st in PokerBaazi’s #4 The MoneyMaker for ₹15,00,000
> 2nd in Adda52’s Mystery Bounty for ₹3,96,456* (₹2,31,506 in bounties)
> 35th in PokerBaazi’s (6-Max) BSS SPRINT for ₹5,700
> 32nd in Adda52’s MMA Highroller PKO for ₹8,876* (₹5,500 in bounties)
While Bohra claimed the ultimate prize, The MoneyMaker runner-up spot held one of the night’s most sensational stories. Aditya ‘Jobamas’ Bagaria, the Masters#114 Grand Master champ from August 2023 and a presence on PokerBaazi since 2018, came incredibly close to his first title of 2025. Bagaria spun up his entry via a ₹1,435 buy-in one-hand satellite! Turning that tiny investment into a life-changing ₹10 Lakhs payday is the stuff poker dreams are made of – his first-ever seven-figure score representing a mind-bending 697x return! This massive win also wiped out nearly two-thirds of his previous platform losses, heralding a major upswing.
Pranav ‘ppz02’ Zarekar from Jalgaon was riding his current of good form, having been on a tear since winning Gold in NPS#124 Marathon. Following wins in the Daily Morning SPRINT and Daily Last Chance last month, Zarekar nearly pulled out a breakthrough win right out of the gate in May. He finished third in #4 The MoneyMaker, locking down a career-high ₹7.37 Lakhs. Combined with small scores in two other BSS flagships, his Sunday total reached nearly ₹7.56 Lakhs.
> 3rd in PokerBaazi’s #4 The MoneyMaker for ₹7,37,000
> 15th in PokerBaazi’s BSS Kickoff for ₹12,752
> 130th in PokerBaazi’s BSS Super Value for ₹5,750
Pranav Zarekar’s PokerBaazi stats: Site Winnings: ₹63.33 Lakhs | Site Profits: ₹16.93 Lakhs | Titles Won in 2025: #6 | Annual Winnings: ₹26.26 Lakhs | Annual Profits: ₹9.81 Lakhs
The MoneyMaker 94.0 final table sprinkled handsome payouts among other upcomers and familiar regs, including ‘Armaansimba’ (4th for a site-best ₹5.71 Lakhs), Ritik ‘Shooterbuzz1234’ Jaiswal (5th for ₹4.59 Lakhs), ‘karanwad7’ (6th for ₹3.48 Lakhs), reigning DPT Xpress Main Event champ and last month’s Adda52 Sunday Head Hunter winner Samyak ‘stonedurrr’ Sethi (7th for ₹2.59 Lakhs), and Jyotindra ‘JacksPaaro’ Dubey (8th for ₹1.88 Lakhs), who, despite solid recent finishes, saw a major title slip away once more.
Despite its heavyweight reputation, the ₹10,000 buy-in The MoneyMaker 94.0 ended up with the biggest overlay in this month-long daily spectacle so far – a landslide ₹17.82 Lakhs short of its ambitious ₹1 Crore guarantee. For the players, however, that shortfall spelt pure value: the top 146 finishers collected at least ₹19,000 for their efforts. With 27 more The MoneyMakers lined up every night this May, Sunday was just the warm-up act. If Day 4 brought this much drama, value, and star power, this will be one heck of a month on the tables!

The first Sunday of May hit PokerBaazi like a tidal wave, buzzing with action, but the headline whispered across the virtual rails wasn’t just about big pots – it was about big overlays. Despite a star-studded lineup featuring the fourth edition of the month-long, ₹1 Crore GTD The MoneyMaker beast and the always-loaded Baazi Super Sunday (BSS) schedule, topped by the ₹50 Lakhs GTD BSS SuperStack, most of the platform’s majors missed their guarantees. The lone soldier holding the fort was the ever-dependable Daily Last Chance, proving its popularity as the late-night grinder’s favourite haunt.
But overlays mean value, and they certainly didn’t stop the sharks from circling and putting up monster numbers. Among the leading names of this hungry pack was Vishal ‘Darky’ Ojha. Already a heavyweight name in Indian poker, Ojha stormed into Sunday’s ₹5,750 buy-in BSS SuperStack riding high from a scorching Friday night performance. Two days earlier, he’d grabbed the championship bracelet in #2 The MoneyMaker and finished runner-up in The Quest, a fiery ₹18.66 Lakh two-punch combo that crowned him last week’s top earner.
High on form, Ojha showed up for the 7:30 PM BSS SuperStack last night and put on another clinic. After an intense eight-hour, forty-five-minute grind through a field of 851 entries (454 unique), he stood tall, taking down the Sunday headliner following a heads-up deal.
That ₹6.95 Lakhs first-place prize wasn’t just cash in the bank but sweet redemption. Ojha had been agonizingly close to taking down this specific Sunday major three times before, settling for second place each time. You could feel this one meant something extra – he wasn’t letting it get away this time.
This victory ticked another major item off Ojha’s PokerBaazi wish list. After finishing third in #25 The MoneyMaker last April, that title had remained just out of reach – until Friday night. Now, shipping both The MoneyMaker and the BSS SuperStack in the same weekend is not just good form; that’s a player operating at peak power!
And Ojha isn’t just collecting wins; he’s crafting a legacy. The Pune-based pro commands respect across the circuit, online and live. A 2023 People’s Poker Championship nominee, he was instrumental in guiding Kolkata Wizards to a runner-up finish in Pocket52 PSL Season 6. He boasts four IOPC titles and is the 2023 Legend Poker Series Super High Roller champion – a win that netted him a massive ₹26.78 Lakhs, still his career-best online score. His influence stretches internationally too; he made history as the first Indian to win a USOP Main Event title in 2023, achieving it with style in Hanoi.
By his lofty standards, 2025 had begun somewhat modestly. He snagged a couple of early wins – PokerBaazi’s WTF in January and The Quest Lite in February – along with runner-up finishes in Adda52’s Iron Man and PokerBaazi’s NPS#120 Wednesday Volley, but nothing that screamed “huge year ahead.”
Well, that has changed. May has kicked off with Ojha making serious noise – near misses in the Daily Last Chance and The Quest, the huge The MoneyMaker win, and now capping it off with the BSS SuperStack victory, all within the first four days!
Two more small cashes in other PokerBaazi majors last night pushed his Sunday earnings past ₹7.26 Lakhs. That put him fourth on the day’s earners list, just behind Natural8 India’s ‘24-7 Tilt,’ and The MoneyMaker top three: Mohit Bohra, Aditya Bagaria, and Pranav Zarekar. This heater also bumps him from #3 to #2 on PokerBaazi’s 2025 POY Leaderboard, putting pressure on the current leader, Advait Rajguru.
> 1st in PokerBaazi’s BSS SuperStack for ₹6,95,351
> 85th in PokerBaazi’s #4 The MoneyMaker for ₹25,000
> 110th in PokerBaazi’s BSS Super Value for ₹5,750

Sharing the spoils via the heads-up deal was ‘RampageR1’ (anonymity requested), a long-time regular from Gujarat who fired three bullets for their shot. This wasn’t a one-off deep run; they’d just made the final table of The Pride last week. A Bronze Medallist from the 2025 NPS#72 Knockout (KO), ‘RampageR1’ collected a personal-best ₹5.55 Lakhs from the deal – nearly 1.4 times their previous high score on PokerBaazi! Adding two more cashes, their Sunday take-home tipped just over ₹5.74 Lakhs.
> 2nd in PokerBaazi’s BSS SuperStack for ₹5,54,649
> 29th in PokerBaazi’s BSS Super Value for ₹13,750
> 28th in PokerBaazi’s BSS Kickoff for ₹5,614
Third place belonged to ‘donkabomber2’ (anonymity requested), a player from Maharashtra who stormed the podium after two well-placed entries. They added ₹3.69 Lakhs to the war chest from the BSS SuperStack (their second-best score on PokerBaazi). They chipped in another ₹4,200 from the (6-Max) BSS SPRINT (53rd), bringing their total Sunday score climb above ₹3.73 Lakhs to make some serious recovery after a daunting downswing.
The BSS SuperStack final table was predictably stacked with familiar faces from the Indian poker scene. Anurag ‘Pokerstars’ Dayal claimed fourth for ₹2.86 Lakhs. Birthday boy Young Gun Anmol ‘anzzzzz’ Mehta, who had graced The MoneyMaker 92.0 final table on Friday, kept the celebration rolling with ₹2.31 Lakhs for fifth. Sixth place and ₹1.80 Lakhs went to NPS#142 Marathon Gold Medallist Dhaval ‘TheMaHaKaL’ Solanki. Umang ‘dejavupoker’ Kedia followed in seventh for ₹1.35 Lakhs, while Sreekanth ‘n0thing’ Narayan, the NPS India 2025 Kerala State Leaderboard champ and NPC finale runner-up, rounded out the FT in eighth, earning ₹1 Lakh.
Mirroring most of PokerBaazi’s majors last night, and despite the star power deep in the tournament, the BSS SuperStack recorded a steep ₹7.45 Lakhs overlay, falling short by nearly 15%. The value proposition was undeniable: the top 138 finishers pocketed at least ₹10,000, almost 1.7 times the buy-in, giving the Sunday grinders plenty of extra incentive. With May just kicking off, Ojha firing on all cylinders, and overlays adding extra spice, the coming weeks on PokerBaazi are guaranteed to be explosive!

If April on PokerBaazi was all about that sweet TDS-free cashout value, May’s already cranking up the heat with value of a different flavour – overlays galore! Last night, amidst a stacked lineup of big-ticket Sunday flagships offering bonus money, the ₹25 Lakhs GTD BSS Super Value wasn’t just another tournament; it was a nine-hour-plus marathon packed with opportunity. And Ankush ‘ank4u’ Narang didn’t just participate; he seized the moment, taking it down with authority!
Narang, who snapped a three-month dry spell two weeks ago by winning the Daily Last Chance, showed it wasn’t a one-off. He jumped into the 5 PM BSS Super Value (the best value tournament on the BSS schedule) and didn’t look back, navigating the field to take it down for the first time, notching up his third title for the year. It was a proper marathon – 1,055 hopefuls (531 unique) duking it out for over nine hours, demanding focus the whole way. Narang kept his cool through it all, eventually striking a heads-up deal that put ₹3.12 Lakhs into his pocket. That’s his best score of 2025 so far and his third-biggest haul ever on PokerBaazi – it looks like he’s back in the groove.
Ankush Narang online stats (excluding Natural8 India and Junglee Poker): Lifetime Winnings: ₹1.11 Crores | Lifetime Profits: ₹22.33 Lakhs | Titles Won in 2025: #3
The endgame was a nail-biter. Online regular Sreeharsha ‘yUDdam’ Boneni – who reached the final table of this event in January – came incredibly close to ending his two-month title drought (since a mid-March victory in Adda52’s MMA Mystery Bounty). Deep in the BSS Super Value grind, Boneni fought hard, eventually agreeing to the heads-up deal that awarded him an equally striking ₹3.08 Lakhs – his best score for 2025. Adding two more deep runs on Adda52, Boneni’s session concluded with nearly ₹3.20 Lakhs flowing into his account.
> 2nd in PokerBaazi’s BSS Super Value for ₹3,08,303* (heads-up deal)

The BSS Super Value wasn’t just a two-horse race; the final table was loaded with players eager for a big score. Rishabh ‘rgeader’ Gupta, last month’s Blockbuster Lite champ who recently hit back-to-back final tables in the Godfather and Blockbuster, kept his hot streak alive with a solid third-place finish worth ₹1.83 Lakhs. Prince ‘NaNki’ Singh, the NPS#5 Inaugural Gold Medallist and a recent #1 The MoneyMaker finalist, followed up in fifth, banking ₹1.07 Lakhs. And Habil ‘Habz420’ Jiruwala, last month`s The Big Show Lite winner, rounded out the official final table in eighth place for ₹46,500.
Falling in line with the dominant Sunday trend on PokerBaazi, the ₹2,500 buy-in BSS Super Value also came up short of its ambitious ₹25 Lakhs guarantee, missing the target by ₹2.06 Lakhs. But that overlay translated into bonus value for the grinders who went deep. The top 137 players made it past the money bubble, with even the min-cash paying out ₹5,750 – more than double the initial buy-in! The summer action is heating up on India’s leading online poker platform with The MoneyMaker madness setting the tempo and the daily flagships like this one bringing serious heat (and value) every night.

Sunday wasn’t just another day on the virtual felt; it was a full-on poker deluge. PokerBaazi’s major tournaments were a digital stampede for glory, while Adda52 went all-in with a packed schedule of Sunday specials, capped off by the high-stakes finale of its ₹1.50 Crores GTD Masterminds Arena Bounty Series. And right there, cutting through the noise, was Aditya ‘a_sushant’ Sushant – a name synonymous with Indian poker history, who seems to be perpetually positioned where the big money decisions happen these days.
This isn’t just any player. We’re talking about India’s first WSOP bracelet winner, a poker beast who has conquered The MoneyMaker not once but twice. Sushant entered the weekend already riding a wave, having captured his fifth career victory in Adda52’s The Ballers three days ago. Add a standout performance at the NPS India 2025, where a late surge saw him topping the Tamil Nadu State Leaderboard and finishing eighth in the historic National Poker Showdown in Goa mere weeks ago. It’s clear the Chennai-based poker legend wasn’t planning on hitting the brakes.
His journey through 2025 reads like a highlight reel of deep runs and consistent pressure. Following his striking NPS India 2025 showing, Sushant kicked off April by taking down PokerBaazi’s Daily Last Chance. What followed was a cascade of near misses and strong finishes – seven final table appearances in the subsequent weeks. Now, days into May, he’s already added two flagship victories to his scorching run!
Sushant saved his biggest statement for Adda52’s ₹35 Lakhs GTD MMA Main Event. This weekend beast drew 1,316 entries across its nine starting flights (coming up notably short of the guarantee), funnelling 159 hopefuls into the 10 PM finale. All these survivors had already locked up a cash, but all eyes were on the top prize. As the blinds escalated and the pressure cooker environment intensified, Sushant remained a picture of composure. There was no overt flashiness, no loud declarations – just the quiet, methodical dismantling of opponents that veteran players recognise as table control.
When the final card fell, Sushant stood alone, the title his, along with a handsome ₹3.74 Lakhs added to his account (₹7,440 in bounties), putting a decisive cap on the week-long series. For most players, that victory alone would define a highly successful night. But Sushant, playing in his characteristic style, had more hands to play.
He went on a scoring spree across PokerBaazi and Adda52, navigating deep into six other major tournaments on these platforms. His Sunday session wasn’t just profitable but a masterclass in grinding out value. By the time he logged off, the night’s work had netted him a total haul north of ₹4.37 Lakhs. That kind of performance keeps the hot streak screaming and vaults his name up the rankings. He’s now parked at #17 on PokerBaazi’s 2025 POY list, and with the summer grind stretching out before us, expect to see his name in lights again very soon.
> 1st in Adda52’s MMA Main Event for ₹3,66,780
> 82nd in PokerBaazi’s #4 The MoneyMaker for ₹30,000
> 77th in PokerBaazi’s BSS SuperStack for ₹15,000
> 41st in Adda52’s Mystery Bounty for ₹7,070

While Sushant rightfully captured the headlines with his title run, another story unfolded just one spot away. ‘Ace2311,’ a familiar face on Adda52 since October 2022, stormed back to the tables after a brief four-day hiatus — and made it count. Playing with focus and determination, ‘Ace2311’ navigated the large MMA Main Event field expertly, getting closer to a potential maiden title. Although the top spot remained just out of reach, the outcome was far from disappointing. A runner-up finish yielded a payout of ₹2.76 Lakhs (₹9,600 in bounties) – easily their largest score ever on the platform. To give that context, this single prize is nine times larger than their previous best result on Adda52. It delivered a massive boost to their platform profits and built momentum for future campaigns as the online action ramps up this summer.
Ace2311’s Adda52 stats: Site Winnings: ₹6.18 Lakhs | Site Winnings: ₹3.24 Lakhs
The MMA Main Event final table itself was a gallery of poker prowess, featuring seasoned campaigners like last week’s Spartan Poker Spotlight winner, the dependably performing Myron ‘zzzzz369’ Pereira (3rd for ₹2.03 Lakhs), Abhishek ‘abhisekchem86’ Mandal (5th for ₹1.07 Lakhs), the always-present Jatin ‘jatin2929’ Sablani (6th for ₹74,801), and former The MoneyMaker champion Himanshu ‘pirateking7’ Arora (7th for ₹56,482).
The MMA Main Event, particularly attractive with its ₹2,220 entry point, made for one of the sweetest value propositions anywhere. It registered a glaring ₹8.68 Lakhs overlay against its ₹35 Lakhs guarantee – a shortfall close to an astonishing 25%. This translated directly into extra value for the 159 players who reached the money stage, each taking home at least ₹4,733 before even considering any bounties they snagged along the way. It was a fittingly rewarding end to another high-octane Sunday grind on India’s longest-serving online poker platform!

While PokerBaazi’s big guns were booming last night, the action wasn’t confined to just one stage. Over on Adda52, the virtual felt was scorching! Between the usual Sunday powerhouses and the climactic finale of the MasterMinds Arena Bounty Series, the platform served up a high-voltage Sunday that kept grinders on their toes. Right in the middle of this storm, Rising Star Aman ‘karmapoker’ Parakh decided to deliver a powerful reminder of why his name is consistently cropping up in all the right places.
The Chittaurgarh-based pro snapped a ten-week victory silence with a dominant performance in the Adda52 Millions just last week. Last night, Parakh showed up like a man on a mission, leaving zero doubt about his current form. He again conquered the ₹25 Lakhs GTD Sunday flagship, stitching together incredible back-to-back wins on an already red-hot poker resume.
Parakh’s run of form hasn’t just been good — it’s been relentless. April alone saw him reach eight final tables, including runner-up finishes in The Sundowner on Adda52 and Daily Last Chance & Big PLO-5 on PokerBaazi. He came knocking in NPS India 2025 too, with a Silver Medal in NPS#48 Megadive and a strong fourth-place finish in NPS#191 Main Event — both runs could’ve gone all the way with just a few cards breaking differently.
The 9 PM Adda52 Millions, with its ₹11,500 buy-in, attracted a field of 100 players who, along with 98 re-entries and seven rebuys, built a total field of 205 entries. After hours of relentless action and the kind of swings that test anyone’s mettle, Parakh was the last man standing. He claimed the title for the second Sunday running, banking a handsome ₹4.97 Lakhs in the process.
And his Sunday wasn’t just about that one win. Parakh stayed busy across platforms, adding three more deep runs to his tally. By the time the night was over, his bankroll had swelled by a sizzling ₹5.40 Lakhs-plus.

When the spotlight is harshest and a major final table takes shape, you can bet Young Gun Gaurav ‘gaug17’ Sood will be nearby. The three-time Player of the Year, the undisputed king of online winnings, the player many consider the benchmark in Indian poker. When Sood gets deep, you pay attention.
Coming off a strong week with runner-up finishes in Adda52’s Godfather and PokerBaazi’s Big PLO-5, Sood carried that sharp focus into Sunday. And true to form, he got involved in the big ones.
First, he navigated the MMA Highroller PKO on Adda52, reaching heads-up before settling for second place again, adding ₹1.03 Lakhs (including bounties) to his session winnings. Then came the big one – the Adda52 Millions, an event Sood has historically owned with a record 11 titles —another stacked field, another deep run… and another near miss. Sood found himself heads-up once more, finishing second again for ₹3.68 Lakhs. Two major runner-up finishes and three other cashes across sites – India’s poker G.O.A.T. finished the day nearly ₹4.94 Lakhs richer, clearly demonstrating he’s in top gear, even if the titles played hard to get last night!

Sunday nights are for the killers, and the Adda52 Millions final table was proof positive. It was absolutely loaded with top-tier talent, including IPPA streamer and community manager Ashutosh ‘akp125602’ Kumar (3rd for ₹2.73 Lakhs), NPC finalist Ankit ‘d00mtr00p3r’ Wadhawan (5th for ₹1.50 Lakhs), last week’s Godfather winner and POY #5 Rajneesh ‘rajneesh620’ Thakur (6th for ₹1.11 Lakhs), Saturday’s Blockbuster champ Young Gun Ashwin ‘Ashwinvijay1399’ Vijayvergiya (7th for ₹82,054), and the scorching hot Young Gun Sanat ‘mehro2511’ Mehrotra (8th for ₹60,776), who was third on the weekly charts last week.
Like other Adda52 majors last night, the Adda52 Millions offered significant extra value, falling a glaring ₹4.50 Lakhs short of its ₹25 Lakhs guarantee – an 18% overlay! Despite the shortfall for the house, the flagship still drew a crowd of high-stakes players eager for that value. With the top 31 players making the money, everyone who cashed collected at least ₹27,189 – more than double the buy-in. All in all, it was another rewarding, value-heavy Sunday grind for those mixing it up on Adda52.

Adda52 hasn’t taken its foot off the gas since April, and this past Sunday was another prime example of the platform firing on all cylinders. The schedule was loaded, featuring the ever-popular Adda52 Millions alongside the grand finales of the ₹1.50 Crores GTD Masterminds Arena Bounty Series – headlined by the MMA Main Event and the MMA Highroller PKO. Sharing the spotlight was the increasingly popular ₹25 Lakhs GTD Mystery Bounty (which has taken the place of the Sunday Head Hunter), signalling Adda52’s clear push for this exciting format introduced in March!
Kicking off at 8 PM, 461 hopefuls (185 unique) dove into the Mystery Bounty showdown, each chasing not only the hefty standard payouts but also the potentially game-changing mystery bounty prizes lurking within the pool. The atmosphere was electric, virtual chips flew across the tables, and the clock relentlessly ticked down as the high-stakes drama played out.
After hours of intense grinding, one name rose above the fray: Anmol ‘ace10’ Narang. Formerly seen in #PokerStarsIndia’s social media campaigns and a former #TheMillionaire champion, Narang has been knocking on the door recently, with a fifth-place finish in last Sunday’s PokerBaazi (6-Max) BSS SPRINT and an eighth place in Wednesday’s PokerBaazi The Pride. Last night, he kicked that door down, capturing his third title of 2025 in the Mystery Bounty and ending a precise six-week gap since his Junglee Poker JK#8 victory in late March (his last Adda52 win dates back to mid-December’s Sunday Big Slick).
He didn’t just scrape by; he put on a clinic. Narang stormed past the competition with a blend of sharp aggression and well-timed plays, leaving a string of contenders behind. His performance earned him his second-best score ever on the platform, a significant ₹3,81,150, heavily boosted by a massive ₹1.56 Lakhs collected purely from bounties. (His top Adda52 score remains his third-place finish in the Mega Millions from June 2024).
Narang’s Sunday efforts didn’t stop there; adding two more deep runs on Adda52 brought his total for the day to over ₹4.18 Lakhs.
> 1st in Adda52’s MysteryBounty for ₹3,81,150* (₹1,56,115 in bounties)
> 19th in Adda52 Millions for ₹30,842
> 48th in Adda52’s MMA Highroller PKO for ₹6,173* (₹3,438 in bounties)
Anmol Narang’s online stats (Adda52, Poker Baazi, and Spartan,Poker): Lifetime Winnings: ₹5.12 Crores | Lifetime Profits: ₹79.80 Lakhs | | Titles Won in 2025: #3 (across all platforms)
And then there was Mohit ‘FloatingMonkey’ Bohra – the man whose name is currently echoing throughout the Indian poker scene, the nation’s first-ever National Poker Champion. Bohra came incredibly close to making it two titles in one night, finishing as the runner-up in this Mystery Bounty for ₹3,96,456. That sum was massively inflated by pulling a stunning ₹2,31,506 in bounties after firing two determined entries. While he narrowly missed the Mystery Bounty crown, Sunday night was still monumental for Bohra. He also etched his name into The Money Maker legacy by winning the #4th edition on PokerBaazi for a jaw-dropping ₹15 Lakhs. With two more ITM finishes, Bohra wrapped up Sunday over ₹19.11 Lakhs richer, enough to place him second on the day’s overall earnings list. The 26-year-old from Gujarat is truly making waves!
> 1st in PokerBaazi’s #4 The Money Maker for ₹15,00,000
> 2nd in Adda52’s Mystery Bounty for ₹3,96,456* (₹2,31,506 in bounties)
> 35th in PokerBaazi’s (6-Max) BSS SPRINT for ₹5,700
> 32nd in Adda52’s MMA HighrollerPKO for ₹8,876* (₹5,500 in bounties)
Gopal ‘TheAceCrown’ Bajaj has been on an absolute tear this weekend. Following up a runner-up finish in Friday’s Adda52 The Ballers, another runner-up in Saturday’s PokerBaazi #3 The MoneyMaker, and a third place in Saturday’s Adda52 Stack Attack, he continued his plunder on Sunday. He finished third in the Mystery Bounty, walking away with a massive ₹6,02,949 (including a whopping ₹4.82 Lakhs in bounties), thanks to snagging some of the largest mystery prizes available. Adding deep runs in two other Adda52 events meant the day’s work amounted to nearly ₹6.13 Lakhs. Looking at his entire weekend, Bajaj collected a phenomenal ₹20.80 Lakhs. He is running hotter than asphalt in May right now!
The Mystery Bounty final table featured several other action players making deep runs. The MoneyMaker 93.0 finalist Debneil ‘NoobNeil’ Mukherjee (4th for ₹94,396 incl. ₹5,771 bounties), Chirag ‘cs56’ Sodha (5th for ₹86,376 incl. ₹21,414 bounties), Bijay ‘jarvis590’ Sarkar (6th for ₹47,617), and satellite-qualifier Kiran ‘mannu425’ Ainala (7th for ₹40,038 incl. ₹5,135 bounties).
Consistent with the other Adda52 flagships on Sunday, the ₹5,750 buy-in Mystery Bounty offered extra value to the tune of a ₹1.95 overlay. The top 71 finishers made the money, each collecting at least ₹5,941 before even factoring in any bounties snatched along the way. With these player-friendly overlays and the apparent embrace of engaging tournament formats, Adda52 delivered a weekend overflowing with action and solid value for everyone involved.
