There will always be a percentage of people who would always love tournaments.

They would travel around the globe just to win a trophy.

But why?

Maybe it is the thrill of being a champion? or maybe it is the money.

Kunal Patni, an Indian poker pro, describes it perfectly.

Cash games are for your daily expense, you sit down on the table and grind for hours so that you can pay your bills. Tournaments is that one win that can change you and give you that bankroll you need.

Poker tournaments are an integral part of poker. Almost all poker sites have tournaments with guarantees.

Even poker apps have tournaments.

Some cash game players will argue about the value of tournaments. but people flying around the globe for WSOP is proof of how valuable it truly is.

When will tournaments be back in Manila?

Not anytime soon.

We too are sad to hear about it, but there are just too many factors involved.

There are new variants of the coronavirus that is proving to be more deadly.
The vaccine may be available. but it is not easy to procure it.
The Philippines has not been able to control the spread of the virus.

We spoke to a lot of poker room operators and the safe estimation is July-August of this year.
