Santhosh Suvarna

@Global Poker Index Rankings @Kristen Foxen

Biography Santhosh Suvarna is a successful businessman with a penchant for high-stakes poker tournaments. Suvarna has amassed over $7 million in live cashes, with most of that impressive sum coming from events played from 2022 onwards. Suvarna lives in Bangalore, India, and his first four live results were from tournaments hosted in his native India. The largest score was the equivalent of $8,839 back in 2020. However, since 2022, Suvarna has become a familiar face in the world’s biggest buy-in events worldwide. An eighth-place finish in a $75,000 buy-in Triton Poker Super High Roller Series event in Cyprus in September 2022 netted Suravana $245,000. That princely sum remained a career-high for only seven months because Suvarna finished fourth in another $75,000 buy-in Triton event, this time in Vietnam, which earned him $628,000. Suvarna was back in Cyprus two months later, where he cashed in five high roller events, including winning the $25,000 GG Super Million$ Live for $700,000. Several more six-figure hauls followed before Suvarna enjoyed his first seven-figure score. He finished third in a $125,000 buy-in Triton Super High Roller Series event in Monte-Carlo and saw his bankroll swell by $1,772,000. In December of 2023, Suvarna entered the $1,000,000 Big One for One Drop during the WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas, although he failed to reach the money places. Suvarna captured his first European Poker Tour title at the PokerStars EPT Paris festival in February 2024. He came out on top in the final 25,000 No Limit Hold’em Event of the series, and took home 348,860 for his efforts. At his current pace, Suvarna will be the biggest live poker tournament winner from India in a matter of months.

Josh Arieh

@Global Poker Index Rankings @Kristen Foxen

Biography Josh Arieh is an American poker player and five-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner. He can be seen on the first season of GGPoker’sGame of Gold, a poker reality competition on the GGPoker YouTube channel. In 2021, he won the WSOP Player of the Year title after cashing eleven times and winning two bracelets for combined cashes of over $1.1 million. Poker Achievements Arieh’s first recorded cash was a bracelet at the 1999 World Series of Poker, winning a $3,000 Limit Hold’em event for $202,800. He followed that up one year later by almost winning another bracelet, but came up just short finishing second in a $1,570 Pot-Limit Omaha event. The largest cash of Arieh’s career came in 2004, when he finished third behind Greg Raymer and David Williams in the 2004 WSOP Main Event. He took home $2,500,000 in winnings. His second bracelet came the following year in a $2,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event for $381,600. In 2009, Arieh finished second in the Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic for $952,290. Arieh would cash at the WSOP on numerous occasions during the 2010s, making several final tables but falling just short of picking up another title. A second-place finish in the 2019 $50,000 Poker Players Championship proved that he was a player to contend for major honours once again, and when the WSOP returned in 2021 he quickly showed that was to be the case. He picked up two bracelets and won the Player of the Year title, pipping Phil Hellmuth into second place. “Its just really cool, its weird,” Arieh told PokerNews about his run to WSOP Player of the Year. “My whole life and my career, whatever I do, I build momentum, so when Im going good, Im really good. When Im going bad, I go really bad. It means a lot because my daughters will be really proud.” His third bracelet came in Event #39: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha, with his fourth coming less than two weeks later in Event #66: $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo Championship. In 2023, Arieh picked up a fifth bracelet with a comeback win in the $10,000 Limit Hold’em Championship. The victory was a big step towards Hall of Fame consideration for Arieh. “So this is just another step that will give me a chance to maybe be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Poker players were looked at as these backroom hustlers. Like, oh, you’re a poker player, you’re a bad person. You gamble for a living; how do you do that? I’ve said it before; it just gives it a little validity. And to be thought about, the names of people that are one, it would just be insane.” He followed this up with an appearance on the first season of Game of Gold in November of the same year.

Josh Reichard

@Global Poker Index Rankings @Kristen Foxen

Biography Josh Reichard is a poker pro from Janesville, Wisconsin who was inducted into the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) Hall of Fame in September 2022, becoming just the 10th member of the club. He won an MSPT event in 2013 in Milwaukee and has 26 cashes on tour overall. Reichard has over $2 million in lifetime live tournament cashes, according to Hendon Mob. His greatest claim to fame isn’t his MSPT Hall of Fame honor. It’s his prowess in World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit events. In September 2022, he won the $1,700 buy-in WSOP Circuit Main Event at the Horseshoe in Council Bluffs, Iowa for over $120,000. In doing so, he earned his 13th career Circuit ring, putting him just one spot shy of record-holder Maurice Hawkins. Reichard has become one of the top mid-stakes live tournament players in the United States. In fact, he’s sixth on Wisconsin’s all-time money list, although it will be tough to catch up to the G.O.A.T. Phil Hellmuth, who has 16 WSOP bracelets and $28 million in earnings. He’s also had some success in World Series of Poker bracelet events in Las Vegas $191,000 in total cashes. One of the few remaining missing accomplishments on his impressive live tournament resume is a WSOP bracelet.
