<p class="mobile-post">When Susquehanna International Group LLP (SIG), a financial institution,
decided to recruit the best college students for their organization, they
settled on a unique way to go about it - by holding a Texas Holdem poker
tournament. Inviting 83 candidates from top colleges, all of them seniors,
to play in their poker tournament was a way for SIG to test their potential
employee's analytical skills. Third place went to Jeremy Maletz from
Columbia University along with $10,000, second place went to Eric Eisenberg
from Washington University along with $15,000, and first place and $25,000
went to Ayres Fan of University of Minnesota. Another $20,000 was
distributed to students from University of Chicago, Carnegie Mellon,
California Institute of Technology and many other schools.</p>
