Cza Yujuico is the Araw ng Dabaw Champion

Cza Yujuico aka The Queen, Araw ng Dabaw Poker  Face Champion

On March 2011, Czaria Yujuico aka "The Queen" pawned the asses of the big boys to take home the Championship of the Araw ng Dabaw Poker Face Tournament.  82 players played during the three day tournament get a spot on MCCD Wall of Fame but it was The Queen who proved best of them all.

With a P3,000 buy-in and a P300 registration fee, each player went into battle with a 20,000 chip stack to play with.  A P500,000 pot was on the line and nobody took it lightly.

Eagle Cup Day 1B Updates

It's Day 1B of the Metro Card Club Davao's 1st Eagle Cup.  With P10,000 buy in plus P1,000 registration fee, it's a freeze out tournament.  Starting stack is at 20,000 with blinds going up every 45 minutes.
