Hey, poker playas!
Here is now Day 3 – reload.
One of the reasons we decided to do reload is that it will give new players a chance to see the story and the things that happened behind the scene.
The hope and aspirations. the up and downs of real people.
Day 3 was the last day to enter. It had 2 flights for the main event and then there was the ever-popular turbo edition.
So here we go
Hey guys, we are giving away a few perfumes and some other cool stuff. Courtesy of HT LUXURY, just join the survey. winners will be announced next week. Click this link
Day 3 reload
The game has begun
The last day, is either the day you make it or you don’t. It is either you qualify that day and go to the next step towards becoming a champion or not.
The Metro Team pro was ready and we’re hoping to bring home the trophy for their team.
Satty winner Thea was early on the field, and APT Champion Yhon joined her on the table. Poker Veteran Rico Dela Cruz was ready for action,
Vamerdino Magsakay who is also a Metro Team pro and an ambassador for ActionPH is hoping to bring the trophy.
Alexis Lim who flew in from Cebu with his team hope to bring one home and make Cebuanos proud, Dave Spadem team Captain of ActionPH, was definitely in high spirit. While Dhondhon was all serious and desire to repeat his deep run during the Okada Manila Millions.
Okada bad beat winner Paro Paro G is also seen on the felt with the eyes of determination. Jeorge Lagatuz, who has been making deep runs in the tournament and later become the champion of this event also entered the last day, Jiang Feng Ji the second place of the Manila Super Series Main Event was also present.
Red Dragon Deep runner Gerardo Lubas has joined the fray, The Godzilla Emman Segismundo is now swimming his way to the final table. The bishop and one-half of the new Dynamic Duo Edgar Asehan have joined the battle. He has already qualified for Day2. but the desire to enter with a bigger stack led him to once more join in.
Bad boyz Royly is much calmer now, Alexander “Bok” Ungria, The Special tournament deep runner is also on the felt. and then there is the Blacklist D-Ramsey who wants to be the champion.
Ken-2-10 is on the field, and of course, we can not and will not forget that the Prince of Hugot. Yatz “GAGAMBANGBAHAYBOY” Javier is also in the house.
To prepare for this tournament, The young prince even traveled to Pampanga where he heard the cash games were good. He was with his own version of the Avengers.
Jojo “Kapitan Pilipinas” Tech and Jessie “Dyos ng Kidlat” Leonarez. and Jojo “Mata ng Lawin” Bai.
Of course, Yatz never ever has to turn green as his mind is always green.
The Ladies also want to have fun
The deep stack turbo attracted a lot of queens and then there was the empress that stood above.
Poker may be a male-dominated game. But the queens were out to prove they can play this game.
The Empress Grace Takayama led the pack, Janette who made a deep run in the Okada Manila super series main was also present. Anne Kelin, one of the final 4 of the Okada Manila Millions main event was ready for action.
Lester “Hazel” Timonera was also present and Gizzele Roluto.
They were seasoned players and they too want to win the trophy.
The Empress climbed all the way to the final table and was against some of the good players in Asia.
Some of them are even recent champions and Kendrick Tan was actually playing the main event at the same time.
Steve Chua has also won quite a few turbo events. The field is not easy.
We have Grace Takayama seating at seat 1. Which was quite funny as it was the seat of Mike Takayama during the Highroller event.
at seat 3 was Steve Chua.
Grace Takayama drew first blood as she eliminated Kendrick Tan. The black warrior Neil Lawarnce was the one who burst the bubble when Lawrence cleaned out short stacked Ferdinand Apas
The Empress then eliminated Scott Alm (5th) and next
The black warrior from Malaysia, Neil Lawrence is a regular at the Philippines poker scene, and this guy can sing Filipinos song like a Filipino.
Kevin Ang, who was the second place on the Main Event of the World Poker Tour Manila when it was held in Solaire and would fondly shout “Go Black warrior” whenever Neil is on the final table.
Neil was able to win against Steve Chua and took most of Steve’s chips. but it was the empress who got the bounty.
The Empress did not get the top mystery yet as their first two draws were the middle and low prizes. Neil earn his first bounty when he eliminated Gerry Flores. but failed to get the top mystery bounty.
But now the big mystery bounty and the championship were at hand.
The heads up has begun.
The Empress was ahead. but Neil was the one who took it down and became the champion and the winner of the two bounties that included the top prize.
It was definitely a fun night. The balance of the fun and poker was there. great food was available in the player’s lounge.
APT did put a lot of effort to give the players the best experience.
The main event surpassed the guarantee. A champion will be crowned soon.
APT did not set the bar of a big guarantee being broken.
They set the bar on players’ experience,
The buy-ins and registration fees were Affordable and player-friendly. they give the best champion experience that a player can get and the experience of a world-class poker event.
As players leave to prepare for the real battle the next day. It will be a weekend to remember for most players.
Stay safe Poker playas!
