30-year-old Sankesh Jain has done it – extending his start of the FT chip lead into a career-best seven-figure payday and the prestigious NPS gold medal.

The poker pro from Chennai, Sankesh Jain, scored a thumping victory in the last event at NPS 2.0, the ₹1 Crore GTD NPS Golden Rush, and banked a whopping ₹9 Lakhs cash prize, courtesy of a heads-up deal. He bested the in-form Arbaaz Ahmed in heads-up play.

Speaking to us after the event, Jain disclosed that he`s primarily a cash game pro who also plays mid-stakes MTTs and went professional 3-4 years ago. He was earlier involved in his family`s property mortgage business and owns a supermarket in Chennai!

That brings our coverage of the NPS 2.0 to an end. You can continue following PokerGuru for more updates from the Baazi Poker Tour.
