Go Bryan! Represent!

Six players.

More than P600,000 in the pot.

One chance to make history...


Let's all troop over to the ACF main theater today and watch the first ever WPT final table in the Philippines! The awesome main theater of the airport casino has been primed and set up with a world class WPT stage setup complete with hole cams and the works.

And what better reason to watch it than to cheer on our very own friendly neighborhood Tournament Director and good friend Bryan M. as he fights to win the P208,000 1st prize, a seat in the WPT championship, and a shot at poker immortality as the FIRST WPT Philippines champion!

See you there at 6pm when the first cards are dealt!

Go Bryan! Wear the BBC shirt proud! WOOOHOOOOO!

After all was said and done, Bryan emerged victorius!

As a 3-1 underdog going heads up with Kim the Korean, Bryan lifted the country's pride and honor on his shoulders and refused to let the foreign guy take the title of being the first WPT PHILIPPINES champion.

After about 2 and a half hours of intense heads-up action, bryan finally wore his opponent down and took the win, 200K, a seat for the 25K buy-in championship, 50K in NCC's from ACF, and the best thing, THE GLORY! wowhoo!

go BBC!

Go to Pokerbartour.blogspot.com for a blow by blow on the final table action.=)

Awesome job from Marco A. and the PBT guys for bringing this to our humble poker community and giving us the chance to live out our poker dreams. I remember watching all the WPT episodes and daydreaming about playing on that stage.

Now it's actually here! December is gonna be FUN!

Quote of the Day

  • The best poker I've ever played has always entailed peace. A relaxed comfort. Eyes open, ears open, radar up. Absorbing my opponent's every message. Taking them as they come. Not mixing what those messages are with what I want them to be. It's like an aerial view. A view from above the myriad luck-dependent reactions of those many people who never gain such a peace. And when you gain that view, that peace - when you'd rather have the truth, no matter how disappointing, over a false hope, no matter how desirable - then you're a player. The hand you're on slips into a stream of thousands of other hands, no one of which, because of your lofty view, seems unduly important, no false fearful emotions rise within you. When you gain the peace of lofty perspective, you're a player, and when you're a player, you're free.- from "King of a Small World" by Rick Benett
