Shane Warne’s son Jackson, 25, takes part in a poker tournament in Las Vegas with his long-time girlfriend Kiah Broadsmith

Jackson Warne, the son of the late Australian cricket icon Shane Warne, showed his talent in a different kind of game this week.

The 25-year-old took part in a poker tournament in Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Jackson didn’t fly solo for his trip to Vegas, with his longtime girlfriend Kiah Broadsmith at his side to lend her support and good luck charms.

Jackson cut a casual figure for his big day on the tables, wearing a plain black T-shirt under a gray puffer jacket.

Perhaps wanting to disguise his wealth, the cricketer completed his ensemble with plain black chinos, high white socks and a pair of brown slippers.

He completed his look with a white baseball-style cap with a black heart as a nod to his favorite game.

Kiah, meanwhile, was similarly dressed in a plain white hooded sweater.

She kept the casual casino vibe going with black cargo pants and a pair of distressed Adidas sneakers.

Before the tournament started, the young couple was seen smiling knowingly as Jackson waited to take his seat.

Looking every inch the supportive partner, Kiah beamed at her friend as she wished him luck.

But then it was time for the main event, and Jackson had the same grit and determination on his face that his famous father was known for.

He rolled up the sleeves of his jacket and seemed eager to show everyone he came to play.

Jackson was the embodiment of the term “poker face”, with a stoic expression as he looked around the table and assessed his competitors.

Jackson and his partner Kiah made their relationship public in December 2021.

Shane, who died a year later in 2022, was able to get to know his son’s girlfriend before he passed away.

Shane once commented on an Instagram photo of the young couple: “Awwwwww, I love you guys.”

The legendary leg-spinner died on March 4 at the age of 52 while holidaying with friends on the island of Koh Samui, Thailand.

An autopsy concluded that he died of ‘natural causes’.

Jackson’s poker foray comes after he revealed a shocking new career move in October.

Through a promotional photo shoot, he revealed he was the face of SAINT, the little brother of the $150 million private wellness club Saint Haven.

“If you’ve been following me for a while, you know how passionate I am about health and wellness, and this is hands down the best place in Melbourne to take both to the next level!” he wrote in the promotional post.

Saint Haven is a chain of private members’ clubs in Melbourne, owned by millionaire property developer Tim Gurner, who made global headlines in 2023 after calling for a ‘painful’ 50 per cent increase in unemployment to push ‘lazy’ workers into action to turn on.

That came after the rich lister wondered out loud last September that “arrogant” workers “must feel pain in the economy.”

The exclusive Saint Haven and SAINT clubs are a cross between mysterious clubs with elite members, such as America’s SoHo House – which announced plans to open a Sydney outpost last year – and Nicole Kidman’s wellness retreat in the TV drama Nine Perfect Strangers.

Members of the New Age spa follow Gurner’s regimen of biohacking and anti-aging processes.

Several members rushed to secure 500 limited memberships for Saint Haven in 2023, priced at up to $1,000 per week.

Potential members had to go through a five-stage application process to apply for the rich man’s fraternity house, including undergoing numerous medical tests.

Jackson’s appointment as ambassador is part of the multi-millionaire’s grand plan to expand the reach of his three locations, in Collingwood, South Yarra and Toorak, to a younger demographic.
