Davao Poker Player: Ferdinand "Bong" Lu aka The Specialist

Bong Lu The Specialist
 Upon entering the Metro Card Club Davao, one of the people you are sure to notice is the chatty Bong Lu.  Whether it be during cash games or tournaments, Ferdinand "Bong" Lu, is ready to talk quite a storm with just about anybody who's willing to listen.

It's no wonder, this poker player slash businessman is known as "The Specialist."  Oftentimes quoting from his non-existent poker book, Bong Lu will give you reasons, tips, and strategies for most of the moves he made or didn't make.  And even those of other people.

People might think he is simply a know-it-all, but his wins tell you, Bong Lu knows his poker!  Having been in the Poker Face Tournament Final Table a handful of times, he won his first Poker Face Championship in October 2009 during the MCCD Poker Face Anniversary Special.

 During the July 2010 Poker Face Tournament, Bong Lu went heads up once again with Alex Chua whom he defeated in October 2009.  This time, however, the poker gods weren't with Bong.  Nonetheless, Bong was the runner-up.  Another admirable feat under his belt.

While he may come off as arrogant, there is a thinking poker player behind his "words of poker wisdom."  Let his game play and titles show you.

Watch more of Bong Lu aka The Specialist in action on Davao Poker TV, on the Southspot Channel very soon!
