Final Day
White Horse Cup Short Deck Super High Roller
The PH₱ 55,000,000 (~US$ 1M) guaranteed was under the spotlight on Day 5 especially with everyone wondering who was going to cough up the staggering PH₱ 1,380,000 (~US$ 25,300) buy in. This was to be the first of its kind in the Philippines since Triton several years back.
When the players streamed in, among them were Super High Roller gurus and enthusiasts such as triple crown Triton champion Wai Kin Yong, Triton founder Richard Yong, WSOP Online champion Paul Teoh, pros Nobuaki Sasaki and Wai Kiat Lee. At the close of registration, there were 41 entries, and by the end of Day 1 scheduled play, six remained led by Poker Dream founder Winfred Yu.
