Metro Christmas special –  Main Event Day 1A

Chris “The BIGTIME” Mateo

Chip Leader Day 1A

The BIGTIME was definitely a monster today finishing with a stack of 462,500, to give you an idea of how big his lead is, the second in chips Lester Edoc (Metro Team Pro) has only 290,000 chips 

Definitely a good start for the BIGTIME who recently finished second place in the main event at Newport Casino.
