Natural8 India Results

Harsh Bubna (Javed Chikna) – ₹4,00,424

Tournament: Forty Stack 44
Highlight:
Harsh Bubna, known online as Javed Chikna, continues to be a force on Natural8 India. On April 30, he shipped the Forty Stack 44 for ₹4 Lakhs — another major score to add to an already decorated record. His ability to mix up gears and apply relentless ICM pressure at final tables has made him a feared regular on the site. This win reaffirms Bubna’s elite form, as he continues to build momentum on India’s most exciting platform.

NL-NAWAB – ₹1,30,956

Tournament: Bounty Hunters Fifty Stack 5.40
Highlight:
Making a splash on his PokerBol debut, NL-NAWAB announced himself in style by securing a six-figure payday in the bounty-heavy Fifty Stack 5.40. Clocking in ₹1.3 Lakhs in total winnings, the newcomer displayed sharp instincts, aggressive bounty-hunting, and clean post-flop play. This result not only marked his biggest finish on Natural8 India but also cemented his entry into India’s rising MTT talent pool. Keep an eye on this name — NL-NAWAB could be one of the breakout stories of 2025.

Vaibhav Temani (GlazeCotton) – ₹1,08,248

Tournament: Bounty Hunters Fifty Stack 54
Highlight:
Vaibhav Temani delivered a strong showing in the Fifty Stack 54, walking away with over ₹1 Lakh. His controlled aggression and endgame patience helped him extract maximum value from bounty spots — a hallmark of his style that continues to pay off on Natural8 India.


PokerBaazi Results

The Pride Lite (₹2,000 Buy-in | ₹10 Lakhs GTD)

1st: Sehej Singh (UdixiAgain) – ₹1,57,000
2nd: Nishant Chowdhury (NC1202) – ₹1,03,000
3rd: A M (Frankie08) – ₹78,000

Highlight:
Sehej Singh (UdixiAgain) claimed victory in The Pride Lite with a mix of fearless aggression and textbook value-betting, turning his mid-stack into a title run worth ₹1.57 Lakhs. Nishant Chowdhury (NC1202), known for his calm table demeanor, stayed composed through ICM-heavy spots to bag ₹1.03 Lakhs for second place. Third-place finisher A M (Frankie08) also deserves credit for another deep run, showing well-timed restraint and grinding through a difficult final two tables. These three players demonstrated poise and polish — and The Pride Lite lived up to its flagship reputation.


WTF (₹2,750 Buy-in | ₹20 Lakhs GTD)

1st: Ashwath Harikumar (Ashcashsmash) – ₹3,04,000
2nd: Aayush Pande (Quads2810) – ₹2,00,000
3rd: Janish Jain (Janish1998) – ₹1,48,000

Highlight:
Ashwath Harikumar (Ashcashsmash) crushed the WTF field for a hefty ₹3.04 Lakhs. His path to victory included multiple multi-street bluffs and a fearless approach to chip leadership. Aayush Pande (Quads2810) delivered another high-impact showing, cashing ₹2 Lakhs while applying nonstop pressure throughout the middle levels. Janish Jain (Janish1998) secured third for ₹1.48 Lakhs with tight, aggressive play that paid off in key hands near the FT bubble. It was a high-tempo final table that showed exactly why WTF continues to be a staple in PokerBaazi’s mid-week calendar.


The Pride (₹5,750 Buy-in | ₹30 Lakhs GTD)

1st: Anand Babu Pallikona (Flattery) – ₹5,00,000
2nd: Poker7664 – ₹3,15,000
3rd: Vishal Bajaj (Vishzz) – ₹2,48,000

Highlight:
Andhra’s Anand Babu Pallikona (Flattery) secured one of the night’s biggest paydays, shipping The Pride for ₹5 Lakhs. He maintained composure while short-stacked early and surged late with well-timed bluffs and dynamic FT play. The runner-up, Poker7664, played a calculated game to earn ₹3.15 Lakhs, controlling pace during three-handed play. Vishal Bajaj (Vishzz), a regular in high-stakes lobbies, picked his spots expertly to finish third for ₹2.48 Lakhs. The Pride lived up to its billing with elite-level play from all podium finishers.


Big PLO-5 (₹5,000 Buy-in | ₹10 Lakhs GTD)

1st: Nutterbutterad – ₹2,20,000
2nd: Gaurav Sood (Gaug17) – ₹1,60,000
3rd: Krunal1800 – ₹1,22,000

Highlight:
Nutterbutterad navigated the chaos of Big PLO-5 to emerge victorious with ₹2.2 Lakhs. The final table was packed with heavy-hitters, none bigger than online legend Gaurav Sood (Gaug17), who finished runner-up for ₹1.6 Lakhs. Sood’s consistent performance across formats continues to reinforce his reputation as one of India’s most technically sound and results-driven pros. Krunal1800 grabbed third for ₹1.22 Lakhs in a high-variance format that rewards creativity and discipline — both of which were on full display.


Daily Last Chance (₹2,500 Buy-in | ₹10 Lakhs GTD)

1st: Prateek Parakh (CHOTUU88) – ₹1,80,000
2nd: Praful Sinha (Snakeeyes10) – ₹1,37,000
3rd: Poker111111 – ₹94,200

Highlight:
Prateek Parakh (CHOTUU88) continues to stack consistent scores, taking down Daily Last Chance for ₹1.8 Lakhs. He built momentum early and executed flawless stack management through ICM pressure. Runner-up Praful Sinha (Snakeeyes10) showed excellent final-table control, cashing ₹1.37 Lakhs after a string of close decisions, while Poker111111 took third and ₹94K with solid, no-frills poker. The final table was well-balanced and packed with experience, reflecting the depth of PokerBaazi’s daily lineup.


Adda52 Results 

MMA Wonder PKO (₹3,350 Buy-in | ₹7.5 Lakhs GTD)

1st: ImAlpha – ₹97,700
2nd: Anurag Srivastava (NormanBates) – ₹73,905
3rd: Sanat Mehrotra (mehro2511) – ₹55,904

Highlight:
ImAlpha came out on top in the fast-paced MMA Wonder PKO, pocketing just under ₹1 Lakh. But the spotlight also shone brightly on Anurag Srivastava (NormanBates) and Sanat Mehrotra (mehro2511) — two players widely regarded as elite finishers. Anurag leveraged his well-rounded game to close bounty spots while avoiding high-variance collisions, while Sanat played with his trademark precision, consistently maneuvering through traffic. Their presence in yet another final table speaks volumes about their enduring form on Adda52.


Head Hunter (₹5,750 Buy-in | ₹30 Lakhs GTD)

1st: Shravan Chhabria (sweatmyass13) – ₹2,33,369
2nd: Sanat Mehrotra (mehro2511) – ₹1,71,054
3rd: Mayank Shekhar (masterdevil) – ₹1,25,382

Highlight:
Shravan Chhabria (sweatmyass13), a seasoned pro we frequently mention in our reports, put on a clinical display in Head Hunter, locking up ₹2.33 Lakhs and another prestigious Adda52 title. His FT strategy — a mix of patience, timed aggression, and reading spots perfectly — proved too much for the competition. Sanat Mehrotra once again showed elite-level consistency with a second-place finish, while Mayank Shekhar (masterdevil) completed the trio with ₹1.25 Lakhs after playing a fearless, high-pressure game. The final table was one of the strongest of the night.


Final Thoughts

April ended on a high note with strong performances across all platforms. With standout victories from names like Anand Babu Pallikona, Ashwath Harikumar, and Shravan Chhabria, and the rise of promising talent like Harsh Bubna and NL-NAWAB on Natural8 India, the momentum heading into May looks electric.

As the Natural8 India Omaholic Series 2025 rolls on, the fields are only getting tougher — and the scores, bigger.

Stay sharp. Stay updated. Only on PokerBol.
