[user162117]

Shaneel Chand is a 24-year old local with six years of experience in the game. One day he wandered into a pub, jumped into a pub poker tournament and from there was hooked!

Chand doesn't have any live results but he regularly plays MTTs online with his poker highlight coming when he won the weekly Hi/Low No Limit event on PokerStars.

Chand says that his defining moment of the tournament when he was all in with pocket jacks against pocket kings when another player had already folded a jack. Chand found the case jack on the board to stay alive and from there, navigated his way to his first major final table appearance.
