Jackson Warne, the son of late Australian cricket icon Shane Warne, was seen showing talent for a different type of game this week.
The 25-year-old was showing off his poker talent by sitting down to play a few hands at a tournament in Las Vegas on Wednesday.
Jackson wasn’t flying alone for his trip to Las Vegas, but with his long-time girlfriend, Kiah Broadsmith, by his side to provide support and good luck charms.
Jackson cut a casual figure for his big day at the tables, wearing a plain black T-shirt under a gray puffer jacket.
Perhaps wanting to disguise his wealth, or simply be comfortable, the cricket scion completed his ensemble with a pair of plain black chinos, tall white socks and a pair of brown flip-flops.
He finished his look with a white baseball-style cap that featured a black heart in a little nod to his favorite game.

Meanwhile, Kiah looked equally rugged in a plain white hooded sweater.
He kept up the casual casino vibe with a pair of black cargo pants and a well-worn pair of Adidas sneakers.
Before the tournament began, the young couple was seen sharing a knowing smile as Jackson waited to take his seat.
Kiah looked every inch the supportive partner, smiling at her boyfriend as she wished him luck.
But then it was time for the main event, and Jackson had the same bravery and determination on his face that his famous father was known for.
Rolling up his jacket sleeves, he seemed eager to show everyone that he had come to play.
Jackson was the embodiment of the term “poker face,” sporting a stoic expression as he looked around the table, sizing up his competitors.
Jackson and his partner Kiah went public with their relationship in December 2021.
Jackson wasn’t flying alone for his trip to Las Vegas with his longtime girlfriend, Kiah Broadsmith, by his side to offer support.
He was also wearing a pair of plain black chinos, as well as a pair of brown flip-flops that he wore over a pair of white socks.

Shane, who died a year later in 2022, was able to meet his son’s girlfriend before his death.
Shane once commented on an Instagram snap of the young couple: “Awwwww love you guys.”
The legendary spinner died on March 4 at the age of 52 while on vacation with friends on the island of Koh Samui, Thailand.
An autopsy concluded that he died of “natural causes.”
Jackson’s poker outing comes after he revealed a surprising new career move in October.
He revealed, through a promotional photo shoot, that he was the face of SAINT, the little brother of the $150 million private Saint Haven wellness club.
‘If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know how passionate I am about health and wellbeing, and this is without a doubt the best place in Melbourne to boost both!’ he wrote in the promotional post.
Saint Haven is a chain of private clubs in Melbourne owned by millionaire property developer Tim Gurner, who made global headlines in 2023 after calling for a “painful” 50 per cent rise in unemployment to spur “lazy” workers into action.
This came after the wealthy listener wondered aloud that “arrogant” employees needed to “feel pain in the economy” last September.
Rolling up his jacket sleeves, Jackson really wanted to show everyone that he had come to play.
He was the embodiment of the term poker face and wore a stoic expression as he looked around the table, sizing up his competitors.
Exclusive clubs Saint Haven and SAINT are a cross between mysterious elite members’ clubs like American SoHo House, which announced plans to open a Sydney outpost last year, and Nicole Kidman’s wellness retreat in TV drama Nine Perfect Strangers.
New Age spa members follow Gurner’s regimen of biohacking and anti-aging processes.
Several rushed to purchase 500 limited memberships to Saint Haven in 2023, priced up to $1,000 per week.
Prospective members had to complete a five-stage application process to apply to the rich man’s fraternity house, including taking numerous medical exams.
Jackson’s appointment as ambassador is part of the billionaire’s grand plan to expand the reach of his three sites, in Collingwood, South Yarra and Toorak, to a younger demographic.
