Christopher Mateo Sets The Bar At Day 1A

Day 1A of the 2025 APPT Manila Main Event drew a storm of 270 entries with 40 players surviving the 15 rounds of regulation play. At the top of the heap was the 2024 APPT Cambodia Main Event champion, Christopher Mateo, with a commanding 690,000 (172 bb).

Gamble until I have a decent stack, after that just being patient, waiting for good hands and spots to play.
