Young Ho Kim was crowned the victor in the first, annual University Judo Poker Tournament held on Friday night in the Emerald City Skyscraper towering over Auckland city. Young’s victory came on the back of a massive comeback, staged during the business end of the no-limits, winner-takes-all competition, when he saw off what can only be described as a brash and daring bluff by Julian.
The competition was laced with drama. The early competition was dominated by Jasmine. Claiming to be ignorant of the rules, Jasmine set the tone of play with her seemingly fearless bids. She took Jun, who was playing with reckless abandon, to the brink and eventually created the conditions for Julian to clean out both Vivek and Jun with relative ease later in the game. Vivek was noticeably put out by his exit from the game, having claimed, earlier, that he was a veritable poker god and saying he was “the man.” Observant commentators, however, are now suggesting that there will have to be a rematch due to the obvious collusion between Young and Jasmine.
