For poker players, Fridays are not just the end of the work week; they are the start of triumphs and glory at the poker felts. This past Friday, we saw several dazzling performances on the virtual felts. One prominent pro showcasing his exceptional skills was Kunal Patni, the charismatic Executive Director of Natural8 India.
With his captivating charm and sharp mind, Patni secured his fifth title of the month by winning Spartan Poker’s INR 15 Lakhs GTD Friday Smash. This accomplishment proved that getting into the business side of poker has not dampened his competitive spirit or prowess at the poker tables.
Kunal “RunLikeVictor” Patni overcame a reg-infested field of 358 entries to seize the Friday Smash title. His top-notch performance earned him INR 3,53,153 prize money, courtesy a heads-up deal.
Patni’s thirst for victory did not stop there. Undeterred by the competition, he then clashed against the high rollers in Poker Baazi’s NPS #134 Super High Roller and secured a commendable fourth place finish, which earned him a staggering INR 8,32,761 – his biggest online score on Friday night.
Every Friday heralds new opportunities and victories for Patni, marking it a significant day in his pursuit of poker excellence. In an electrifying display of skill and strategy, he started this Friday with a dazzling victory in Friday Smash and followed it up with a commendable final table finish in NPS Super High Roller. Undeterred, he went on to run deep in three more tourneys, netting a hefty INR 11.97 Lakhs from his Friday grind.
With his Friday Smash victory and several deep runs across several other prestigious events, Patni achieved a significant milestone, propelling himself into the exclusive INR 11 Crore Club in online winnings and solidifying his position as a formidable force on the virtual felts.
Close on his heels was Nishant “Rekt@ce” Kumar. Fresh off his DDD #53 Blockbuster Main Event victory, he secured a commendable second place in Friday Smash, banking an impressive INR 2,80,328 payday after a heads-up deal with Patni. The final spot on the podium went to Thursday’s Godfather runner-up Rubin “CalmLikeABomb” Labroo (3rd for INR 1,79,716).
Sriharsha “lvey2” Doddapaneni (4th for INR 1,45,706), Ankit “d00mtr00per” Wadhawan (5th for IN 1,15,276), the in-form player Aditya “Konstantin” Singh (6th for INR 87,531), JaiKiran “NAA ORU ALIEN” Kumar (7th for INR 63,903) and Faiz “Kunal pAAtni” Alam(8th for INR 46,719) were among the other notable players who ended their run on the final table of the Friday Smash tourney.
