Chase Cokaliong - SOMUCHPOKER

While primarily known for his successful ventures as a businessman, entrepreneur, lifestyle connoisseur, avid collector, and philanthropist, Chase Cokaliong also thrives in the competitive world of poker. In mid-2023, Cokaliong made his debut at the highly competitive APPT Manila, where he placed an impressive 119th out of 1,354 players, earning PHP 139,000 (~USD 2,509).

After a near-yearlong break from the poker field, Cokaliong made a more-than-impressive comeback at the Metro Summer Event 2-24, where he ultimately placed 10th out of the 912 entry field, turning his PHP 11,000 (~USD 195) buy in into PHP 80,000 (~USD 1,400).

When he is not dominating at a table, Cokaliong patronizes significant poker-based events. Perhaps the most groundbreaking milestone of his poker career is the upcoming Chase Cup, an event at Poker8 Cebu with a guaranteed prize pool of PHP 5,000,000 which also awards an iconic Rolex Submariner timepiece to the grand champion.
