It is beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

As the pressure of the day for the staff of Metro starts to slow down. The atmosphere for today starts to become lighter.

Even with the Highroller event going on. It is a very unusual event as the food and the booze are free-flowing.

Marc Rivera, busting on the last few hands of the day of the Main event is the chip leader in the Highroller.

Lester Edoc, Jojo Tech, and Vamerdino Magsakay joined in on the fun.

Even Foreigners like William Teoh, Henrik Tollefson and Stephen Nathan are happily playing with the pros.

Monziar Billariaza, one of the early quarter champions of the Metro when live poker was coming back is fighting to stay alive.

And then there is Gary Ramayrat. who was using hadoken to eliminate his opponent. although that doesn’t make sense, it is working.

Home defenders

The Chief, Marc Rivera, is leading his team. the Metro team Pro hoping to win this event. The chief currently has a good stack.

The Best hope for the Metro team to bring it home, for now, is of course is Lester Edoc, who came in 5th in chips and slowly gaining more ground. 

There is also John Tech, although entering day 2 with almost the starting stack. his years of experience can be his asset.

And let us not forget the Wildcard. Jimmy “Yatz” Javier. Yatz entered Day2 with a good stack and has been consistent on his table.

Let us hope he will be the one to bring it home
