What brought you to Tokyo Tech?
Pei-Rung: I very much wanted to do an exchange in Japan, and there were a lot of options for me. The National Central University in Taiwan has many partner universities that I could have chosen, but I decided to join the ACAP program because I thought it would be a great way to evaluate whether I want to go to graduate school. I major in computer science, and I can really get a taste for research here while still at the undergraduate level.

“Badz” decided his runner-up finish for nearly $392K last week in a $25,500 Super High Roller on GGPoker wasn’t good enough, so he stepped his game up even further and shipped the Sunday 5 Million, also a $25,500 event, on Monday. The 29-year-old from Belarus has been an absolute beast in the GGPoker Spring Festival high roller events, having cashed in five for nearly $2 million. Badziakouski is arguabl
