Flopped Destiny: Rivera is your APT Asian Series Manila 2013 Main Event Champion (PHP 4,270,000)

Congratulations Czardy Earldale Rivera for winning the APT Asian Series Manila 2013 Main Event title and the champ’s purse of PHP 4,270,000.

Rivera’s winning hand came via a preflop all-in showdown with compatriot Lester Edoc.

Edoc, with less than a million chips, shoved with his A♦ 10♠ and Rivera, with a dominating chip lead with over 6M in chips, called with K♦ 3♦.

But as destiny would have it, Rivera flopped the flush on the board 4♦ 8♦ Q♦. The turn A♥ and river A♠ arrived and formalized his entry into the APT record books as one of its champions.
