Philippine Poker Million

[Metro Card Club Ortigas] Day 1B (55,000 PHP)

Po Hsun Liao Tops Metro PPM Day 1B

Philippine circuit regular from Taiwan, Po Hsun Liao, collected an incredibly enormous amount of chips at Day 1B of the Metro PPM leg to set the bar very high at 972,000 (162 bb). Though rarely seen at Metro, Liao has had many successes at various PokerStars LIVE Manila events. He recently cashed at the APPT Manila 2025 in 24th place.

The flight drew 103 entries with Liao leading the 14 survivors. Other notables finding a bag were Maxwell Rosete, Edilberto Gopez, Henrik Tollefsen, and WSOP bracelet holder Mike Takayama.
