Poker is a vicious game, even being an APT player of the series and a back to back to back win at Vietnam, and the only Filipino player to win a Sunday Million Champion. Vamerdino Magsakay is now out!

He has been battling Edgar Asehan from the beginning, Edgar is a rising star in the local poker circuit and was able to bust Vam out!

You are still a champion Vam!
