Hey, poker playas!

This time it is the man who needs no introduction. He is after all one of the top players of the Philippines and there is no doubting that.

He has played in multiple countries. Won multiple events and is recognized as a great player on both local and international events.

He had just recently arrived from Las Vegas. Although he was not able to run deep and secure a bracelet. This man would definitely be one of the few that could secure a bracelet in time.
