Poker faces

Open-access content Wednesday 8th May 2019

This year’s Annual Staple Inn Actuarial Society Poker tournament, held on 7 March, saw 60 people take part.

It was fantastic to see some of our regulars, as well as new faces. Plenty of food (and drink) was provided to facilitate rational thinking.

After many 'calls', 'raises' and 'all ins', the tournament drew to a close just before midnight, allowing those remaining to get carriages home before they turned into pumpkins.

The top 10 players all received cash prizes ranging from £35 to £370. The top three were: first, Jamie Harding; second, David Adeniji; and third, Mark Wallace. Congratulations to all the winners!  

SIAS would like to thank everyone for attending the event and continuing to support our socials.
