Hey, poker playas!

The great thing about mind games like poker is that everything is equal. Skin colors, race, and height does not matter.

In the end, it is still about how you deal with you hand.

They may not be as tall as some players, but hey they can play big games more than the tallest guy in the felt.

They can play it regularly and it is just a regular workday for them.

From time to time you’ll see them make a final table appearance here and there. 

There are other people we would have wanted to be included on the list. But due to the pandemic, We have yet to know any updates about them. Hence we are only writing the two.

Renniel Estrada Galvez

Renniel first recorded win was in 2011. However, big tournaments were scarce those days. we really never get to see him shine. 

But when the big casinos started to push more tournaments. it became a different matter altogether. 

He did make an appearance in the recently concluded Okada Manila Millons but the results were not really amazing.

He has been hitting the cash game table regularly so never get fooled by his height as he has the guts to call your shove if he believes your bluffing.

Playing against him is like playing against someone like Joe Pesci in the casino. You mess with him and he will mess up your bankroll.

Noel “Kid Rock” Araniel

Kid Rock came a long way from his small beginning. We once saw him playing on small tournaments (10k PHP GTD tournaments) to earn a living when he started out.

Now, he can play the biggest cash game in Manila with no fear.

Rumor is he is the second-best OFC cash game player in Manila.

The first is the mysterious “Hari ng Pinya”.

Kid was last seen playing at the Okada Manila millions and still regularly play the big cash games in Manila. 

 

Although he is more serious now than when we met him back years ago. But one thing that proves is that poker is a game where players are all equal.

In 2020, the Asian poker championship(APC)  a10m guaranteed tournament was Held in the Metro Card Club. not only did the kid bag the main event. Before The Highroller event closed, Kid jumped into it and bagged it as well. 

And no matter if you came from a humble beginning, you can still hit it big as long as you are on the right path.

Stay safe poker playas!
