Poker Tournaments this Weekend

First off, congratulations to my Papa Franz Avelino (joke lang!) for winning the Heads Up Championship for June. He beat October Poker Face Champion and November Heads Up Champion Kirby Te. Franz slew me early in the tournament by checking his two pairs on the flop. I went all in with lower two pairs at the turn. It was the first hand in our first match. Played one hand on my first heads game. LOL!

I would also like to congratulate Team Expats that beat Teams Rugrats and Tilters to become the Team Metro Champions yesterday.

Moving on... I will be joining two very exciting tournaments this weekend.

On Saturday, I will be trying out my skills and my luck at the Red Dragon Poker Room in Tagum City. I have been invited to join their PokerMaster Tournament, and I will be covering the event as well. Looking forward to flexing my poker skills, and slaying some dragons. I heard the style and strategy of the players there are very much different from those here in Davao City, so I'm looking out to be challenged. Many thanks to Tyrone Uy for the invitation!


And on Sunday, I will be back at my homebase, the Metro Card Club Davao for the Poker Face Warm Up Tournament. It's structured like the monthly Poker Face Tournament but cheaper and with a smaller pot. It's a practice of sorts. Plus it's a good way to earn major point for the Metro Poker League (I'm ranked number 28 thus far). Buy-in is P1,000 plus registration of P250. Rebuy and add on are at P500 each. Players start with a stack of 10,000 and the guaranteed pot is P100,000.

It's gonna be another busy, busy but fun weekend! :-)

Shout out to my reader Danny, a poker dealer from London who has been playing with his friends at the MCCD the past few days. He learned about the MCCD through this blog. Hi Danny and James!!! :) Don't be such a fish boy. Hope more of my readers drop by the MCCD. Looking forward to meeting more of you guys. ;)
