The inaugural Old Scholars’ Texas Hold’em Poker Intercol was a great success. Well represented from a wide range of year levels and poker skills. Plenty of light hearted competition and camaraderie made for a lot of shared laughs.
It was a tournament (19 Blue and 11Red) with the pot consisting purely of a trophy that ultimately went to the Reds: 22-13.
It was whittled down to a final table of 9 (3 Blues and 6 Reds).
The result was determined by points for finishing positions at that table.
Notable SPOC players were:
There were individual trophies for the final 3. Tim and Hugh secured 2nd and 3rd for their mantelpieces.
Being a tournament, we’re not limited by team numbers (as long as they’re roughly equal and we have a big enough venue).
We’re sure this will be a growing Intercol. Please contact SPOC (spoc@stpeters.sa.edu.au) if you’d like to join the camaraderie next year.
