Sangeeth Mohan

First in line for the 2012 title will be the reigning APT Asian Series Goa champion Sangeeth Mohan who has risen to become one of the most prominent players in India. Mohan only started playing poker in 2010 but quickly found he had a talent for the game. After some strong finishes in local tournaments in early 2011, he joined up with the PokerGuru team to get some valuable mentoring in the game and has gone from strength to strength.

After his INR 2,346,400 (USD $46,324) APT Asian Series Goa win in 2011, Mohan has cashed 10 times in tournaments in India, Macau and the Philippines. Along the way he has racked up over USD $113,000 in total career earnings, which includes an impressive 10th place finish in the 2011 Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) Macau Main Event.

“APT Asian Series Goa is back and I couldn’t be more excited,” said Mohan. “Last year I had a dream run and I hope and pray it happens this time around as well. I think the numbers are going to be crazy and, with more money to play for, it’s like always – no guts, no glory.”

It certainly will be interesting to see if Mohan can go all the way in his second run for the title or if we’ll see a new poker fame and riches story emerge for one lucky player in India.
