"Friends are Asking Me What I Did To Be Here!" Jok'Air Enjoying Winamax SISMIX
Even in the middle of 335 players here on Day 1a, you can't help but notice that Jok'Air is out of this world, and his good mood is clear to all around him. The rapper, who exploded onto the scene with the release of his album Jok'Travolta has discovered a new passion here in Lloret de Mar.
However, he hasn't won the tournament yet; he did not even know the rules until a few days ago, asking for help on Twitter!
Translation: Who can teach me to play poker?
With a little help from his friend and YouTuber Zack Nani, things are already much better.
"I'm going to be the poker boss, like Kool Shen [aka Winamax Team Pro Bruno Lopes]. I've already played two tournaments and I want to play a lot more. It's a crazy game - I love it!
"You have two cards, and you try to find out what the others have. It's just great, but I think I still have a long way to go!"
To ensure he makes the most of his opportunity, Jok has been given a little help...a ranking of the best possible hands that means he doesn't even have to look at his cards to play.
"It's helpful. I took a picture, but it doesn't work every time. A guy called yesterday with ace-three when I had two jacks, and I still lost. So I went all in on the first hand of the tournament to show them who the boss is."
Well, it looks like he's got a long way to go in terms of strategy!
Jok has come to the Winamax SISMIX with his friend Chich who performs with him on stage, and it has meant he's discovered the world of poker, live tournaments and the atmosphere of SISMIX all at once.
"I want to do all the festivals. The atmosphere is crazy, everyone is having fun. It's really simple. Every time I post a photo on the internet, I have friends who are calling me to ask me what I did to be here, so I don't want to miss another one. And I think you go to Dublin in September, right?"
I think we'll be seeing him again soon.
