This past week was nothing short of electrifying, with several massive guaranteed poker tournaments gracing the virtual felts. From high-stakes thrillers to massive field battles, it was truly a week to remember.
While many won big throughout this past week, the top scorers once again emerged from Natural8 India. ‘BollywoodBlinds’, Tarun Goyal, and Anant Purohit topped the weekly charts with their jaw-dropping prizes and multiple deep runs. Here is a quick recap of their epic performances.
1. ‘BollywoodBlinds’ – ₹27.60 Lakhs
Several players etched their name into online poker history but the main story of the week was that of ‘BollywoodBlinds’. In just six weeks of his journey on Natural8 India, this mystery crusher has become a force on the virtual felts with over ₹52 Lakhs in total winnings on the platform.
This week, he stole the show with deep runs across two massive-field tournaments on Sunday, racking up over ₹27.60 Lakhs in a single night and etching his name as the top scorer of the week. His biggest score came in Natural8 India’s Grand Prix Europe 125 where finished runner-up out of 1,858 entries, claiming a massive ₹25.91 Lakhs. Not stopping there, he then went to add another ₹1.70 Lakhs with a gritty 19th place against a massive field of 6,531 entries in the Sunday Showdown 108 on the platform.
2. Tarun Goyal – ₹22.81 Lakhs
WSOP bracelet winner Tarun Goyal showed yet again why he is a force at felts. After a brief break, the reigning POY leader returned to what he usually does on Natural8 India. The former IT professional entered the site’s Bounty Hunters 525 on Monday and navigated through a tough 1,240-entry field, claiming a strong fifth place for a stunning ₹22.81 Lakhs payday.
The latest finish pushed his 2025 tally to ₹4.70 Crores, solidifying his lead in the POY race. Goyal’s consistency and massive field dominance continues to set an inspiring benchmark for Indian crushers.
3. Anant Purohit – ₹12.98 Lakhs
The third single biggest score of this past week belonged to Anant Purohit, one of India’s biggest MTT crushers who had won a jaw-dropping ₹1.92 Crore in last month’s PLOSSUS Bounty 400 on Natural8 India.
Following his runner-up finish in last Sunday’s Omaholic Sunday Bounty Big Game 215 and a 10th place in Wednesday’s Omaholic Bounty Hunters HR 525, he topped the Thursday charts with a ₹12.98 Lakhs runner-up finish in the Omaholic Bounty Hunters HR 525 after navigating a competitive 174-entry field. This marks Purohit’s third-biggest score of the year, boosting his total online earnings for 2025 to ₹3.89 Crores.
