Mitsuki Sakimoto Clinches APL Manila Main Event for PHP 9,650,000 (~USD 166,695)

Level 33: 100,000 / 200,000 ante: 200,000

Mitsuki Sakimoto

"I’m very happy. I couldn’t believe it because this is the first time for me to win a tournament, and I don’t have much experience playing poker, especially in another country. I was very nervous, but on day two, three, and the final day, I became more relaxed, and I was able to play my own game from day two onwards.", commented Sakimoto in his post match interview.

Ace Poker League has closed another chapter in its books with this season's Manila Main Event seeing Japan's Mitsuki Sakimoto reigning in glory. A total of 739 entries turned up for its latest showing, sizing up a grand prize pool of PHP 55,000,000 (~USD 1,000,000). Stakes were high across the Final Day games with only 8 players returning on the hunt for the title. After just four hours of play, action capped with Sakimoto besting the field, earning him the largest series payout of PHP 9,650,000 (~USD 166,695).

"I prepared. I called and messaged my friends, and they all gave me the same advice: 'Don’t be afraid, just believe in yourself because if you’re afraid, you won’t win.' It was really good advice for me. It was the best advice I could have received."

Sakimoto entered the final rounds with an undeniable lead of 94 big blinds over his contenders and not once did he find himself at risk, nor did he relinquish the advantage. His biggest boost came right at four-handed play, when he eliminated Reiner Magbutay over an ace-high battle to ship 85% of the total chips on the table.

"I was a little bit scared when he went all-in, even though I had A♣ Q♣. His all-in was so quick, and I had such a strong hand. I was thinking, 'How did he go all-in so quickly?' I was thinking because there were two short stacks, too, so I couldn’t snap-call because I had him covered. I thought his hand wasn’t as strong as kings, so I called.", said Sakimoto when asked regarding his hand against Magbutay.

From there on, Sakimoto remained unstoppable, eventually reaching heads up play against South Korea's Jae Yi Chang with a nearly 5:1 lead. It took only four deals for Sakimoto to close out the victory, with the final hand seeing him win over Chang's last 21 big blinds for the trophy.

Congratulations to all the winners!
