Local Player Takes Top Prize At Asian Poker Tour Manila
The Asian Poker Tour attracted players from all over the world. Some forty different nations were represented among the casino players so the turnout was strong and full of diversity. With 25-year-old player Neil Arce taking home the event’s biggest award, many fans of online casinos were following the event closely to see who among the 262 competitors would come out on top. Arce is actually a local player who has made quite a name for himself on the local level already. He is a familiar face in the Filipino poker scene. One of his most favored haunts is the Metro Card Club in Manila.
Arce was very pleased with his performance and can’t wait to continue playing more in hopes of extending his impressive winning streak. His performance is sure to earn him legions of fans from online casinos all over Asia if not the entire world. He said he had a feeling that the final two players for this event would end up being himself and Steve Yea of South Korea and his prediction was right on.
He said the essential detail that helped him win the tournament was the sitting positions of himself and his competitors. In online casino poker you can oftentimes choose where you wish to sit but at big tournaments like this, it is usually just luck of the draw so luck was on Arce’s side in this particular case. Yea was sitting on Arce’s right side and he said this was the best possible arrangement to help him get his win. He also mentioned that applying pressure throughout the day’s playing also was a strategy that paid off well in the end.
