Resorts
World Manila (RWM), the premier one-stop, nonstop tourism and entertainment
destination in the country, is once again home to the richest poker tournament
– Manila Millions 2013.
For
the second year in a row, Resorts World Manila played host to some of the
biggest names in the poker world in an event set at its exclusive Genting Club
last April 18 and 19.
Manila Millions 2013 attracted the
most renowned names in poker, including 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event
winner Joe Hachem, World Series of Poker 2-bracelet winner J.C. Tran, 2006
World Poker Tour Bay 101 Shooting Star winner Nam Le, and last year’s Manila
Millions champion Allan Le. Currently, more than 40 big name players from around the world are expected to participate in
the said event.
This prestigious poker event promised to be
more thrilling this year as Resorts World Manila, together with co-presenter
Asian Poker Tour (APT), anticipates another record-setting high-stakes contest.
With a buy-in of HK$1,000,000 and a total pot prize similar to
last year’s at the HK$32 million mark (or over US$4 million), Manila Millions
2013 is undoubtedly the biggest poker tournament in the Philippines, and one of
the biggest in Asia.
And the winner is Joseph Cheong!
Manila
Millions 2013 is the highlight of APT Philippines 2013, which held in Resorts
World Manila from April 17-24. The integrated resort has been the official
venue of APT Philippines since 2010.
The
only tourism destination in the country capable of accommodating large-scale
and world-class poker events, Resorts World Manila also hosts the National
Poker League of Australia every November, drawing hundreds of tourists to the
country.
