7 PM – Day 1B Turbo – 20 Minutes

30 minutes before the final table
40 Minutes Final table

A great starting event. This time there a normal blind and a turbo blind on the same day and the Final day is on the next day.

The buy-in s just right so most likely it will break the guarantee.

So far it looks like a good warm up-event.

1 PM – Final Day – 60 Minutes Per Level

A very unusual move bu the Metro. But a very welcome one. 

Metro usually does the format of high guarantee and low buy-in but in today’s world where the buying power has changed. Low buy-in usually means high numbers. but the money received by the lower bracket is very minimal.

They have done away with the turbo as the number of the turbo is not that high. 

Will it give good numbers for the Metro? 

Stay tuned!

Metro Card Club VIP room definitely has some of the best games in Metro Manila.

They are more stable than the other poker rooms in terms of VIP games.

The change of pace is a welcome sign that Metro might be changing, yet it still maintains its core clients of serving the masses. 

So expect the Highroller event to have a good number.
