Freerolling Arnel Trinidad Wins Inaugural Philippine Poker Millions
What a run for Arnel Trinidad to become the first-ever Philippine Poker Millions champion! Entering the event through an online freeroll path on GGPoker PH, he survived three stages before qualifying for Day 1 where he crushed it to carry the biggest stack into the live stage at Metro Card Club.
After two surviving another two elimination heats, Trinidad entered the final table in the middle of the pack then proceeded to crack two pocket aces to catapult to the top and eventually snatch the win. Trinidad claimed the first ever PPM Main Event trophy and pocketed a massive ₱7,200,000 top prize.
