Arce takes small pot


Of course, one effective way of building a big stack is to start winning those small pots.

Neil Arce, the 2009 APT Philippines Main Event champion did just that in a recent hand when his pocket 7s won against an opponent’s A 9. The board was a dry one prompting checks all the way and Arce took down the small pot worth around 1,500.

The former APT champ has now around 23,000.
