Though the first ever Texas Hold'em Poker tournament ended over a week ago, the winners are still celebrating. One of our specialists, Alice, got in touch with the #1 winner, Peter Nabil, and conducted an interview with him, chatting about his background and stuff about the Texas Hold'em Poker tournament.
The interview was conducted in Arabic, and translated to English here. The CO team will provide two language versions of the interview, let's have a read!
Alice: Can you briefly introduce yourself to our players?
Peter Nabil: My name is Peter Nabil, a 21-year-old student of Cairo University in Egypt.
Alice: When did you begin your adventure in CO?
Peter Nabil: 9 years ago, when I was 12. And now CO has been a part of my life.
Alice: What do you like doing the most in the game? How much time do you spend on playing on a daily basis?
Peter Nabil: I like joining PK events, slaying monsters and playing Texas Hold'em Poker. In general, I spend 3-5 hours in the game every day.
Alice: Where did you learn about the Texas Hold'em Poker tournament from?
Peter Nabil: From the CO's official website. I didn't believe it at first, but the cash reward did attract me!
Alice: Have you ever thought that you would get in the Finals and win $10,000 in cash?
Peter Nabil: No, I have never thought that I would be in the Finals and win the championship. But after seeing my name on the Finals list, I began to desire to win the final reward.
Alice: How was your mood changed throughout the tournament?
Peter Nabil: My mood did change a lot. After entering the Finals, I was really nervous because the reward is so good and I was only one step away from it. I was so afraid that I would lose the game.
Alice: Could you give a rating for your performance in the Finals?
Peter Nabil: I was actually quite pleased with my performances, but other finalists were also doing great!
Alice: How does winning the championship feel like? What's your plan with the cash reward?
Peter Nabil: I'm really proud of myself. And I will put some money into the game, and save the rest.
Alice: Is there anything you want to say, after winning the championship? Have you shared the news with your parents or friends?
Peter Nabil: No, I don't know what to say. I've shared it with my dad and friends, and they were so happy for me.
Alice: What do you want to say to other participants?
Peter Nabil: To all participants, you all were so great, and will get lucky to win the next time.
To those who got the second and third places, you really did well in the tournament. Congratulations!
To the players who didn't join this time, you should take part in this event, not just to win the reward, but to experience the excitement of this game.
Alice: Do you have any suggestions about Texas Hold'em Poker and this event in particular?
Peter Nabil: I really like this event, because of the reward. And I will definitely join the second tournament, if CO team would hold it. I have no other suggestions, because they are all so good so far.
