Still the Undisputed Leader of the National Poker Champion India Leaderboard!
Three days into the National Poker Series India 2025, the battle for poker supremacy is fiercer than ever. With 63 medals awarded, including 21 Golds, the stakes are sky-high. But through all the shifting tides, one name remains unshaken at the top – PokerBaazi Team Pro, Zarvan Tumboli.

The reigning “Czar of Live Poker” is proving that his dominance knows no boundaries. Smashing through the online felt with the same authority that made him a legend, Zarvan is holding onto the No. 1 spot on the India Leaderboard and he’s showing no signs of slowing down.
