Another surprise package in the rankings was Somashekar KM, who has had a fantastic few years, this time ranking #24 and taking home $17,300 (₹15,00,160). Somashekar previously shipped the Megastack Event, taking home ₹16,67,983. That event also saw multiple Indians on the list, with Harsh Bubna and Nishant Kumar ranking 4th and 6th.

With so many Indians in the ranks and Ankit Ahuja ranking so high, Indians have again etched their names in International poker history. He is 4th on the All-Time Money List in India, and his best cash-out until now was $362,365 at Event #5 of the European Poker Tour in 2023. Ahuja has been playing for more than a decade now, and this experience surely should count as one of his best. The event had 750 entries, and the total prize pool was $2,400,750 (2 Million), with a buy-in of $3,500.
