The country’s most notable poker series – National Poker Series India – is back with its 2nd edition in 2022. PokerBaazi.com, which is India’s biggest poker platform, will continue as the hosting partner for the NPS. The series, scheduled to begin from March 6, has announced a prize pool of 18.5 crores for 84 tournaments across 15 days.

With 252 medals on the line to be awarded to podium finishers in all 84 tournaments and three NPS Podium medals for the three finishers with the highest medal tallies, this year’s National Poker Series will yet again have Golden Rush as one of its marquee events.
