Publish date: May 24, 2021

Hey, Poker playas!

Hope you guys are safe. the world is slowly moving forward and Manila has lowered its restriction. although curfews are still being implemented. People are slowly going around more.

Here is this week rundown of the events and news.

Metrocard club re-opens

This time around, it is the Metrocard club that has re-open first. Safety measures are in place. But players are not that keen to jump aboard. 

Although we expect the game to pick up soon. it still a long way to go before the games are back to pre-covid days.

Pokerstars Live in Okada Manila remains close. 

Pokerstars was the first to re-open during the pandemic. However, there is still no news when will they re-open. 

Before the second lockdown, there have been plans to be more aggressive in terms of promoting the room but like the other poker rooms and houses. it now has remained close.

We will keep you posted if there are any new developments. 

Resort World Manila poker room remains close.

One of the last to re-open during the pandemic. this time it has remained close.

This is probably the poker room that a lot of poker players are waiting for as the bad-beat jackpot was already attractive.

before the lockdown. the average waiting time for a seat was more than 4 hours. However, being the last room to re-open due to safety concerns could also mean that they might still remain close to play safe. 

Once we receive new information we would definitely write about it here.

Online rooms are still moving forward.

Live tournaments make take a while longer. Hence online poker sites are getting active.

If you want to play safe and still play poker tournaments. we recommend players check out online poker sites.  But be careful, there are online poker sites that operate illegally and should be avoided.

Philippines heat index

Be careful stepping outside if you are in the Philippines. The heat index for the country is not so favorable for people who want to step outside.

Although today there have been brief rain showers. There is no forecast for rain until Friday.

Keep yourself hydrated and stay indoors as much as possible.

Just hang in there. the pandemic will be over soon.

#Upokerhappy winner will be announced soon.

Gaining now close to 30,000 views. UPoker Tiktok challenge is about to announce the winners.

You can still vote by visiting their Tiktok page by clicking here.

Who would be the winner? stay tuned.

That is all for this week’s poker playas! yes, time might have been tough for a lot of us. But remember there is always a rainbow after the rain. 

Stay safe poker playas!
