Hey, poker playas!

WSOP 2021 has started. The world’s biggest live event that captivated a lot of people to play poker is back on the live scene.

There are Filipinos in Las Vegas right now trying to gun for the bracelet.

Event #3 – The Reunion.

The reunion is one of the events to look out for. With a guarantee of 5 Million USD and with only a buy-in of 500 USD. Currently, it is still ongoing and day 1C is about to begin. 

Throughout the first two starting days, the low-stakes competition has already attracted 7,104 total entries and is getting ready for another strong turnout with three rooms.

As the world moves forward.

WSOP Live did create a stir as it issued a vaccine mandate. but the turnout is looking quite good.

They took the risk and a lot of people were against it. but it was for the safety of everyone.

Will the Philippines follow suit? Poker rooms have opened in Metro Manila. and only one poker room has issued a vaccine rule.

It is quite unusual as the Philippines does not have a steady supply of the vaccine. 

But then in order to move forward, we have to do what is right. it might not be popular but it is for the safety of everyone. 

Stay safe poker playas!
