APT Asian Series Manila 2013 Main Event


Westmorland: Ha! You Didn’t Qualify for Day 2?

Level: 12 Blinds: 600-1200 Ante: 200

Jordan Westmorland from Australia is the only player to have qualified TWICE for Day 2.

As per the tournament rules, he has to play his higher stack (75,000 in Day 1B) over the lower one (8,800 in Day 1A).

Not bad, considering other players couldn’t even qualify once…
