Mohit Bohra Claims #1, Advait Rajguru’s Golden Streak Pushes Bhanu Prakash KC Out!
National Poker Series India 2025 – Day 17 Wrap

The tables have turned overnight!

Karnataka’s Bhanu Prakash KC ‘Chennaino1’ is no longer on top in the National Poker Series India 2025 – India Leaderboard!

While Bhanu is still crushing it on the Series Leaderboard where he is ranking on #1 with 23.81K points, Day 17 saw Gujarat’s Mohit Bohra ‘bullet777’ storming into the hot seat with an impressive third Gold in the series!

With his Tuesday run, Mohit has boosted his medal tally to 5, and he becomes the first player at the series to reach the 40-mark milestone!

But replacing Bhanu who represents Karnataka is state-mate Advait Rajguru ‘ExploitativeGTO’ – the second player on the top-10 of the India rankings to grab a third medal on Day 17.

Advait’s intensity is searing and he has also overtaken Bhanu on the Karnataka Leaderboard with his straight 3 Gold to Bhanu’s 2 Gold and 2 Silver.

Day 17 of the National Poker Series India 2025 was one for the history books. While 357 medals have been awarded till now, the “Olympics of Indian Poker” has distributed 54.7 CR in prize money till now.

The battle for National Poker Champion 2025 was never as competitive as this! The competition has close, with fireworks on the tables changing the dynamics each running day of the series!

Mohit Bohra Rides the Storm, Seats Himself at the #1 Player, 1st to Bag 40 Points!
Gujarat maybe struggling at Rank #9 on the State Leaderboard but its ace player Mohit Bohra aka ‘bullets777’ is putting the real iron in the fight.

The Poker inferno who turned professional in Poker over 3+ years back, had picked up a Silver on Day 1. He has not just maintained form, he has emerged as the champion to look out for at the National Poker Series India, fading out his previous lack of medals in the past 4 editions!

On Tuesday, Mohit was in action in the NPS#112 (7-Max) SPRINT where he fired a total of 4 bullets. After over 7 hours of nail-biting action, a deal was struck, and he walked away as the champion, pocketing the Gold, and the 2.27 LAC up top!

He also ran deep in the NPS#114 Mini Highroller where he finished 35th to earn 70.21K.
This brings Mohit’s Medal Haul to 5:

• 🥈 Silver – NPS#6 Marathon – 4 LAC (Feb 23)
• 🥇 Gold – NPS#27 Slamdunk – 2.45 LAC (Feb 26)
• 🥇 Gold – NPS#92 Relay – 4.6 LAC (Mar 8)
• 🥈 Silver – NPS#45 Knockout – 2.41 LAC (Mar 10)
• 🥇Gold – NPS#112 (7-Max) SPRINT – 2.27 LAC (Mar 11)

On a parallel note, Mohit is fast climbing up the Series Leaderboard – currently on Rank#6 with 20.27K points. His winnings at the current edition are a bumper 26.21 LAC from 70 cashes!

If Mohit maintains stream and emerges as the National Poker Champion 2025, all of Gujarat’s 14 players who currently hold a medal will sail into the 1 CR Freeroll! The question is, will Mohit deliver?

Advait Rajguru Picks 3rd Gold, Pushes Bhanu Prakash KC Out of Top 10!
Advait Rajguru ‘ExploitativeGTO’ – the young Poker coach from Bengaluru, Karnataka has proved he is in for the long haul at the National Poker Series India 2025 edition.

On Day 17, Advait fired 3 bullets in NPS#113 Marathon – ultimately reigning supreme over a 1,398-strong player field. While the cash prize of 4.02 LAC was a solid return to his investment, Advait has secured his third Gold at the series.

His career medal tally is now an impressive 7, and his Tuesday run added another 10 points to his tally, vaulting him to the #2 rank on the India Leaderboard rankings!

His medal haul includes:

• 🥇 Gold – NPS#32 (PLO-5) Megadive – 4.93 LAC (Feb 27)
• 🥇 Gold – NPS#48 Megadive – 6.17 LAC (March 1)
• 🥇 Gold – NPS#113 Marathon – 4.02 LAC (March 11)

Advait Rajguru Vs. Bhanu Prakash KC – Who Will Prevail?
With Advait in, Bhanu Prakash KC from Karnataka has moved out of the India Leaderboard. Both players are locked in a close contest as they hold an equivalent 30 points – Advait ranking higher since he has more Gold.

Since February 23, Advait has secured 30.52 LAC in winnings at the series, with a cashout ratio of 72% – picking 83 cashes from 115 tournaments played!

But it’s a different story on the Series Leaderboard where Bhanu is firmly settled on the #1 rank. His earnings at the series are 27.94 LAC- lower to Advait’s but he holds 23.81 points.

On the contrary Advait ranks #4 at the Series Leaderboard with 21.28K points.

The intra-state rivalry in Karnataka is heating up, with both players fiercely competing for top honours. As they battle it out for medals, it’s anyone’s guess which of them will ultimately make it back onto the India Leaderboard!
