Neil Arce is considered as one of the most popular Filipino poker players on the Asian tournament circuit. His biggest achievement to date was when he took down the Main Event title at APT Philippines in 2009 for USD $185,000.
His poker career was kicked off back in 2007 with a worthy ‘in the money’ finish in the World Series of Poker Main Event. Now Arce is a regular face in tournaments, as well as high roller events, across the Philippines and Macau. In addition, Arce is one of the personalities behind the largest poker room in the Philippines.
The APT looks forward to seeing Arce on the felt at the upcoming Asian Poker Tour Philippines 2012, which will be held from April 19-25 at Resorts World Manila’s Genting Club.
