Shane Warne’s son Jackson scooped the pool to win the All in for Charity poker tournament on Wednesday night.
Jackson beat a huge field of 400 at the Melbourne Museum in Carlton.
The 20 year-old attended the event with his spin king dad Shane who is a keen poker player himself and was also in the competition.
Among the prizes Jackson won was a Kia car, flights to the Gold Coast, accommodation, restaurant vouchers and VIP tickets to Melbourne Poker with the Stars Signature event 2020.
Tony Hachem who hosts and runs the event, said Jackson won comprehensively.
“I think Shane was more excited than Jackson,’’ Hachem said.
