MANILA, Philippines - The Metro Card Club – the biggest card room in Asia – once again plays host to one of the much anticipated poker tournaments in the country, the Metro Independence Day Tournament June 14-19 at the Metrowalk Complex in Ortigas, Pasig.
The annual event offers a guaranteed prize pool of P2-million with a lion’s share – more than half a million – of it going to the last man standing after six days of grueling mind game.
The buy-in for this tournament is P5,000 but players can get in with a much cheaper investment by playing in Metro’s daily tournaments which offer seats to the MIDT.
Last year saw 708 players competing in the event with Julian Lagman emerging as the champion and pocketing P650,000.
