MR DAY-1A
John Matsuda
John Matsuda during the Metro summer event played Day1A and finished as the chip leader for all day1. For the APT Philippines – Event 1, he was once again the chip leader entering via FlightA
But on the main event, he change his style and entered day 1B. he did qualify for day 2 but his stack was a little average.
Now back at entering Day1A for the championship. he is definitely in the top 5 in chips.
Maybe he is lucky when he enters day 1A? because he was eliminating players even as the last few hands were played.
Will this help him win the championship? stay tuned!
