Metro Poker League First Quarter 2010

Today is the last day of the Metro Poker League First Quarter 2010. And I'm currently the lone female at #8. Can I say... WOOHOO!!! I rarely joined tournaments but did well in some major tournaments plus placed well in several megasatellites and sit and go tournaments. Thank you very much!

Among those with me in the Top 20 are Poker Face Champions Mike Gempesaw (#2, January), Rebel Madagasang (#13, February), and Bong Reyes (#4, March). Also in the top 20 are veterans JVA, Boy Arizola, and Henry Nucum. Tournament staples Mau Abella, Erwin Ranon, and Reggie Braceros are also at the top.

The final tournament tonight will determine if the MPL Q1 2010 cast is already final.

The Top 20 after tonight will play at a P50,000 free roll tournament on April 11, 2010.

GLHF to us all! ;-)
