Sinulog 2023 – Day 1 – January 8, 2023
Publish date: January 8, 2023

Hey, Poker playas!

We are now at the Voyager Poker Club for the Sinulog Festival 2023.

This would be the first great tournament in the Philippines. A great tournament is not defined just by the pot. There must be more to it.

And the biggest Festival while playing poker is defined as great. Because if there was something good about a tournament. That would be promoted and not the ceiling instead.

Voyager Poker CLub

Mandaue, Cebu

It took us less than 30 minutes to reach the poker room. although it was a rainy day. it was actually a great morning.

The Poker room is not far from the airport. the recommended Hotel, the Alpha seat is just in front of the room. so a rest was in order.

08:15 HRS – we were not alone

THe vanguards of Manila

Jaja Boom and friends

If you thinking of going but are afraid to be alone. today we already met a few friends on the way to the tournament.

Jaja Boom, who we predict will be a  Champion soon and with his friends are on the way to the Tour.
