It was on a Sunday night before we become slaves to the hectic summer classes schedule that we held a poker tournament in Club 202 cum Casino 202.
We witnessed an underdog, famously known by others as Lanyeng, becoming a true champion in Texas Hold’em.
Lanyeng, who is an honest and humble player, more often than not beaten and knocked out in the early stages of Texas Hold’em. He has never come close to reaching the last 4, much less winning the tournament. This time around, he comes up against all the best in AMSISU(Assiociation of Malaysians with Serious ISsUes). In the table of 9 players max, Lanyeng’s opponents were:

Kudut. Our very own “professional poker player” and poker brat. Known as Poker Black by Yu based Kudut’s obsession in poker and the black skin inherited from his ever loving father who is of Indian heritage and a Mamak mother with “stacks on deck”. He has never won the tournament before but has won a few small timed poker tournaments in Full Tilt Poker where he plays ever so often and sinned. A player who can “read you like a book” and loves counting odds. Loves naps more than women. Sorry Nicole.

I wanna eat u, kudut !
Yu Senlong. An aggressive and a fiery player by nature. Cunning as a fox. His aggression and guile often makes him a difficult opponent to come up against. Often pushes you in to commit a lot in the pot and trash talks you into folding/calling a raise. Never won a major event in 202 and also plies his trade at Full Tilt Poker where he won quite a few tournaments.

Chris Cheang. An escape artist who is no fatter than a chopstick. Loves to draw and “see card”. The only winner so far in our main event which led to his 2 month ban from the Casino 202. Accused of cheating, corruption and often caught raping men when he chills at Casino 202. Does not play in Full Tilt Poker and hates expensive “buy-ins” (because he cant draw his cards =D).

Ken Yee Tai. Mad, unpredictable, and a Bill Cosby fan. Runs his mouth all the time to put his opponents off. Distracts them with his mad antics and does many crazy plays. No one could really tell if he is bluffing or not. Is a racist and loves disturbing Kudut when Kudut is playing Full Tilt Poker. THHEEEOOOO !!!

I am showing off my number of buy-ins after 30 mins of play
Alex Tew. Feeder extraordinaire. Armed with his trusty Nintendo DS, he annoys most poker players especially Chris Cheang by making them wait for his call. Hardly ever survives after 30 minutes of play time. Can pull off some decent bluffs sometimes. One of the main sponsors of our poker games.

Rawr !
Zi Ting Ng. Lost in the final against Chris Cheang.

Ashwin. New player. Loves to play the Jacks and 10s. Made it far in his first ever tournament. A star in the making.

Heng Li. Hardly plays in Casino 202. Originated from a cooler place in Iowa (Des Moines). Has a bromance relationship with Chris Cheang’s brother.

yeah i like hengli and jasmine

Lanyeng. Our own T.I. and original gangsta. Humble yet a swagger at the same time. Enjoys disturbing Kudut when Kudut is playin on Full Tilt Poker urging him to make crappy calls and plays. Oh diu…
The tournament lasted for about 4 hours and then it was down to 4 players left (lanyeng, yu, tai and ashwin). Ashwin knocked out Tai with his 2 pairs of Jack 10. Then Yu knocked Ashwin out with an Ace pair when Ash only hit a Jack. At this point, Yu’s chip stack is so high that we can’t even see his face anymore. Yu was favorites to win it all. Lanyeng’s odds of winning it were 1000000000000000000-1. Imba….
After 2 hours of heads up poker, Lanyeng and Yu made a lot of excellent plays. It was tense and tight (just like my ass). Kudut made me the tournament manager/commentator and the Ahmad (driver to send the other players home). We were all shouting everytime there was an all-in moment or a reraise by anyone. I was sweating like a pig from all the excitement. I had to drink a glass of water every other minute otherwise I will shrivel up into a raisin. Kudut and Tai then became professional dealers. They each had a deck of cards with both of them taking turns to deal. That way there is no rest for the weak. Everytime either of them made a mistake in dealing, I, as the tournament manager threatens to hire a rapist (Kenggee, Ng) to rape and murder his wife and make his kids work for me as Las Vegas Girls.

Kenggee, Ng. Casino 202's hired killer and rapist
Lanyeng then became chip leader after some moments of madness (I missed it because I send Ashwin home). Yu had a Planters’ Good Instinct Moment. Yu folded a straight when Lanyeng had the Full House.

An example of a good instinct moment
The moment of truth came when Yu had pocket 8s and Lanyeng had a Jack Ace. Then there was the degree all-in moment. Lanyeng won by hitting a Jack on the flop. AND THT WAS IT !!! LANYENG IS THE NEW CHAMPION !

Youngest ever poker champion in Casino 202 at a raw age of 20. Saw that Lanyeng face?
He won a pot of $35, four packets of ramen noodles (Generously sponsored by a Russian Mongolian named Genghis Tan Wooihauski), Nestle’s Hot Chocolate and 1 can of Campbell Chicken soup with 95% less sodium (Sponsored by the Cute Ji An), Harry Potter book #4 (sponsored by 106), and a Las Vegas girl card (given by Chris’ Mum and if you want the girl to sex u up, it’s $35). The prize money should be more but Tai refused to pay Lanyeng the remaining $2.
Congratulations, Lanyeng for winning. We hope u lose in the future.
