Natural8 India Tournament Highlights

Natural8 India continued to serve as a battleground for top-tier competition, with Indian players crushing fields in bounty and Omaha formats. These results reflect the rising skill ceiling and hunger for consistent success among tournament regulars in poker in India.

Anant Purohit Ships Two Tournaments

• Super Circuit Classic 250 – ₹3,37,424
  
• COLOSSUS Bounty NLH 400 – ₹4,11,069
  

One of the biggest names in poker India, Anant Purohit (EasyShips) is in peak form. On March 26, 2025, he added two more victories to his resume on Natural8 India, winning ₹3,37,424 in the Super Circuit Classic 250 and ₹4,11,069 in the COLOSSUS Bounty NLH 400.

These wins came just a day after one of the largest online scores in Indian poker history, when Purohit shipped the PLOSSUS Bounty 400 for an eye-watering ₹1.92 Crore. He also posted a ₹2.34 Lakh finish in the Bounty Hunters Circuit HR 525, capping off one of the most dominant weeks seen in recent memory.

Purohit’s consistent success across high-stakes tournaments—both online and live—includes a recent deep run at WPT Cambodia 2025, reinforcing his place among the elite in the Indian poker circuit. Known for his fearless style and strategic edge, EasyShips is a name the poker world continues to watch closely.

Tarun Goyal Ships the PLO Championship – ₹2,98,699

While Anant Purohit continues his incredible streak, Tarun Goyal is right there with him, making history in high-roller events and redefining what’s possible in online poker. Known for his fearless presence on Natural8 India, Goyal has made the platform his digital battleground.

Tarun Goyal (Uncapped) emerged victorious in the Pot-Limit Omaha Championship 800, banking ₹2,98,699. His strategic edge in Omaha continues to earn him major finishes in elite fields.

In October 2024, he delivered one of the most impressive performances of his career, finishing 10th in the GGMillion Main Event, outlasting a field of 928 elite players and earning a massive ₹1.23 Crore. This result pushed his 2024 earnings beyond the ₹7 Crore mark.

But the true highlight came in the Mystery Millions Online 2750, where Goyal stunned the poker world by pulling in a ₹5 Crore mystery bounty—the largest single online score by an Indian player to date.

His dominance didn’t slow down in 2025 either. Goyal recently secured a ₹7.88 Lakh finish in the APL Series: Hold’em High Roller Bounty and followed it up with a staggering ₹2.74 Crore payday
