Saransh Garg, Indore’s very own powerhouse of Poker proved that consistency pays as he clinched a National Poker Series India 2024 gold medal yesterday in the Saturday SlamDunk 40 Lac guaranteed prize pool! Saransh got introduced to poker during his FMS Delhi college days and works in construction, but that doesn't stop him from reaching new heights when he puts volume! Hats off Saransh and see you at Night of Glory!

Abhishek Sonu aka ‘chipndchair’, a 25-year-old poker maestro earned the silver medal at National Poker Series India 2024 after placing runner-up in yesterday’s Slamdunk 12 Lac prize pool guaranteed! Hailing from Patna, Abhishek discovered poker in 2019 and has been playing professionally since 2020. Abhishek, also known for his entertaining live streams, once dreamt of becoming a cricketer and he now clinches medals for a living! Not just that, he is currently leading NPS Podium leaderboard! Take a bow sir and see you at Night of Glory!

Mumbai based Anurag Kureel hit the jackpot last night and that too on his maiden attempt at National Poker Series India 2024! After displaying his poker prowess at NPS Camp 2024 where he won three SNGs, Anurag proved that his BSS Super Value title last month was not a flash in the pan as he secured his first NPS Gold Medal in yesterday’s Marathon 12 Lac prize pool guaranteed! A musician, Anurag started playing poker in his college days and is used to grinding for long hours and even days! His philosophy is simple, don't play on instinct, choose math and see the difference. Well said champ. See you at Night of Glory and GG!

Abhinav Nath has been playing NPS from the inaugural edition back in 2021. And what a ride he has had so far. Bagging a silver in yesterday's Marathon, Abhinav is a math wiz who is on his way to pursue a Ph.D in Mathematics. In his spare time, Abhinav loves helping his father in their farmlands. He discovered Poker while playing Pool on a mobile app and he just ended up seeing a Poker ad and never looked back. Backed by a strong mindset and a high degree of patience, Abhinav forms a champion player with a solid play style. Well played Abhinav, see you again at Night of Glory.

Swapnil Raghuwanshi is back on the NPS medal tally with back to back wins in National Poker Series India. While he has a steady job as a Java Developer, he plays Poker purely for the love of the sport. He loves dabbling in Badminton and Football from time to time. Amongst many other Poker players who were made by being amused by the skills of the Poker OG Negreanu, Swapnil brings a patient approach to his play style. Well played Swapnil, and see you again at Night of Glory.

Tanmay Benara is back at it again on the medal tally board. A seasoned pro and being someone who has played every NPS so far, he secured a Gold in Value Mine with 1 CR guaranteed prize pool. The more we talk about him, the less it would be. He knows the NPS drill - grind hard & celebrate the rewards harder at Night of Glory. Well played and excited to seeing you at the event!

Another day, another medallist who has emerged from the realms of becoming a full time Poker professional. Faiz Alam bagged a Gold in yesterday's SlamDunk with a 25 Lac guaranteed prize pool by outplaying a total of 1244 opponents. He started playing Poker during his Capgemini days and hasn't looked back since. He is an avid Cricket fan and loves playing Poker and Cricket on a daily basis. A strong believer of consistency in Poker, he has a strong Poker mindset which helps him win tournaments on a regular basis but a NPS medal definitely provides more motivation to him. We are excited to have him on this year's Night of Glory as he couldn't make it to the previous one. Well played Faiz! See you at the Night of Glory!

Another day, another debutant, another medal. Prateek Rana aka 'prana' from Uttar Pradesh played his first NPS by securing himself the coveted Gold in (6-Max) Sprint with 12 Lac guaranteed prize pool. He works in the hospitality industry and is in the restaurant business and is an alum of the Mayo College in Ajmer. He has an exploitative style of play and prefers playing solid. Crazy good story, crazy good player. See you at Night of Glory.
