UB Undergraduate Academies

This Blog is to recap for those who were unable to attend the Texas Hold'em tournament on April 24th.

The range in experience of players varied from just learning how to play to playing for years. The group of 15 was divided into 2 tables until there were only 8 players remaining at both tables. The tables were then combined to form only one "final" where the winner prevailed.

All of the students created added to a lighthearted environment and taking a break from studying or homework for just one night was well received. Those who did not win were happy to learn the game and enjoyed the experience and the student that did end up winning was a gracious winner.
