HomeThe second day of the APT-RWM Poker Finale 2014 at the Resorts World Manila (RWM) in Pasay City, Philippines dragged on to the wee hours of Friday morning as a raucous crowd representing Vietnam celebrated the victory of their compatriot Hiue Le who bagged the RWM Poker Fiesta 2M GTD title. On the same day, Sam Razavi proved his worth as the front-runner for the APT Player of the Year race by winning the Ante Up for Charity Event even as Slade Fisher bagged the Pot Limit Omaha Hi event.
Three APT side events done and three APT titles won; who will follow Hiue, Razavi and Fisher as the next side event winners today?
On tap at 2:00 PM is the continuation of the High Rollers event with PHP 108,000 with eight players still in the running from the original 35 entries who joined the high-stakes tourney with a total prize pool of roughly PHP 3.3M. The High Rollers final eight aim for at least a spot inside the Top 5 in the money and the champion’s purse of PHP 1.32M.
