From Underdog to Top Dog: A Young Gun Rises

Among the battle-hardened final 10—players who have spent years grinding the felt day in and day out—one name stands out: the young gun.

After nearly a 9-year break from professional poker, he returned with little fanfare, entering Day 2 at the very bottom of the chip count. But now? He sits atop the leaderboard, defying the odds and turning heads with every move.

His run is more than just luck—it’s calculated, fearless, and relentless.
Could this comeback kid become the new face of the IVP Cup 2025?

The story is still unfolding.
Can he finish what he started?

The Maverick from Down Under — Final 10!

Straight from Australia, he’s not your typical grinder. Known for his unorthodox style—calling when most would fold, folding when no one expects it—this player has kept everyone guessing all tournament long.

He finished Day 1 as the chip leader, then strolled into Day 2 late, choosing to enjoy the night before rather than stress over stack sizes.
His playstyle? Wild to some. Brilliant to others. But one thing’s certain: it works for him.

Now part of the final 10, the Aussie maverick brings not just chips to the table—but energy, joy, and unpredictability.

Will his carefree, instinct-driven game carry him all the way to the IVP Cup 2025 title?
Stay tuned—this could be one for the books.

Now among the Final 10, this could be the breakout moment that finally puts Ronnie on the map.

Can Cebu’s quiet killer go all the way?
Stay tuned—he’s locked in and ready to take the shot.

The Woman Who Started It All — A Legacy on the Felt

She’s more than just a player—she’s a pioneer, a visionary, and one of Cebu’s most influential figures in the poker community.

The woman who built the bridge—connecting Manila, Davao, General Santos, Cagayan de Oro, and now even Taiwan to Cebu’s growing poker scene. It was her passion and leadership that laid the foundation for what Cebu poker has become today.

And the IVP Cup?
It was born out of that same vision—a tournament that started as a birthday celebration and grew into a pillar event for the region, symbolizing growth, unity, and the evolution of Philippine poker.

Now, in a poetic twist of fate, she sits at the Final Table of the very event she helped bring to life.

Can she cap her legacy with a championship run?
The cards are in the air—but the impact she’s made is already unmatched.

A true trailblazer. A living legend.
Now chasing the title she helped create.
