The Rundown – June 25, 2022
Publish date: June 25, 2022

Hey, poker playas!

It is Saturday, it was a small break until the tournament goes back hard.

Based on the current calendar, things will start with Masters Poker 200k and then everything will happen one after the other.

The world is moving forward but if you want to know what’s happening in other rooms.

Here a quick recap.

Resort world ahead in poker rooms inside a Casino

The Resort World Poker room bad beat jackpot is now more than PHP 6 million.

Poker rooms inside a casino normally do not have much to offer compared to poker rooms outside the casino. Tournaments are the main attraction but they have not done any daily tournaments and are more focused on big tournaments.

Currently, Resort world has the biggest jackpot so the action goes there. 

While the other poker room inside a casino has slowed down and action is minimal at best. Until they have big tournaments. the cash games will go to Resort world.

Metro Card Club – stable growth

Metro Card Club still remains the poker room of choice if you want to play outside the casino and away from the other card games. 

They are the only one that is consistent with the daily tournaments and have continued to do so. Although it is not like the way it was before the pandemic. but slowly they are growing.

Although they started slow. the growth has been consistent and now they have added more side events to their tourney.

Yeah, it took a while for them. but they slowly climb back up safely.

They were the last one that removed the transparent barriers but at the same time, they just recently held the biggest guaranteed tournament in Manila.

They also have set up their own featured table, unlike other poker rooms that would do a CCTV production or hold a phone and do FB live.

It is a new world, and the market getting tougher. the world is changing and you have to be more competitive. 

And Metro taking the right steps.

Masters poker – the one that rule Malate

Now, if you find Metro Card Club too far, then it is the Master for you located in Malate.

Although they. do not have daily tournaments, they do have weekly ones that always exceed the guarantee.

This week they will have a 200k GTD which could be another guarantee breaker. 

Their cash games are also great and organic. No house players and more fishes than grinders.

So if you are in Manila and looking for a good game. check the Master poker out.
