.@PokerBaazi keeps setting the standard higher with its huge guarantees and heart-pounding poker action, and Friday night followed suit. The ₹30 Lakhs GTD #TheQuest, one of the platform's weekly headliners, returned with all the thrill and spectacle players have come to anticipate. 🔥

Taking center stage was none other than online phenom Tarush Gupta, a true force of nature in the poker circuit. After a four-week break since his last triumph in #PokerBaazi's #TheSummit in December, Gupta made a glorious comeback to the winner's circle with a performance that left no question about his mastery. 🌠

The 8 PM flagship event was a battleground, drawing a formidable 635 entries (341 unique), with India's best vying for the top prize. Gupta, with his relentless aggression and laser-sharp instincts, fired three bullets and went on an absolute tear to seize the ₹5.18 Lakhs 💰 top prize— 🥇 his second #TheQuest title, his first win of the year, and sixth-largest score on the platform. This victory also made him the second biggest winner of the day, just behind #Natural8India titan 'Shouryaanga,' who scored ₹8.29 Lakhs last night from a title win and a runner-up finish. 🤩

Tarush Gupta's online stats (excluding #Natural8India, #JungleePoker and #Pocket52): Lifetime Winnings: ₹8.39 Crores | Lifetime Profits: ₹2.54 Crores | Titles Won in 2025: #1 💫

Another player who made waves in #TheQuest was 'Husky,' a player who has been grinding on the platform since March 2018. With their sights set on their first title on the platform, 'Husky' brought their best game and left it all on the virtual felt. Firing six bullets in a determined pursuit of victory, they fought through a tough field and came incredibly close to clinching the coveted title. 🫡 Though the win stayed just out of reach, 'Husky' secured a hard-earned runner-up finish, 🥈 taking home a platform-best ₹3.10 Lakhs, not a bad consolation prize. 💸

Husky's #PokerBaazi stats: Site Winnings: ₹12.75 Lakhs | Site Profits: ₹1.55 Lakhs 🫰🏻

#TheQuest final table was a gathering of familiar faces, including Vijaya Bhaskara Rao (6th for ₹1.14 Lakhs), Kushagra Kogata (7th for ₹92,710), and @NindakBaba (8th for ₹71,438). 🎁
