Very little is known about Leon Menezes, initial research shows he is a semi-professional poker player. Menezes doesn’t have a Hendon Mob profile when writing this article. However, with this win, he has created a place for himself in poker history, domestic and global. The win is a definite addition to not just his confidence, but also to the Indian poker community. Indians have consistently been shipping events at global tournaments and series, and it remains to be seen which Indian will capture another title in poker.
