Originally from the UK’s Lake District, Callum Jury has carved out a niche as a premier live reporter across the Southeast Asian poker circuit. Since 2025, he has delivered high-level coverage for major brands like the APT, PokerStars, and the WSOP, blending a background in business with a deep-rooted passion for storytelling. As a key member of the Somuchpoker team, Callum uses his sharp eye for photography and media to bridge the gap between technical hand histories and the raw human drama of a high-stakes deep run.

Metro Card Club, established in 2007, is the first and largest brick-and-mortar card club in the Philippines located outside of a casino. Situated in the Metrowalk Commercial Complex in Pasig, it is a dedicated “Mind Sport” sanctuary known for professional floor management, a welcoming atmosphere for locals and foreigners alike, and its role as the proving ground for the country’s top poker talent.


The Heartland of Philippine Poker

  • 24/7 Action: The club operates around the clock, offering a continuous stream of cash games and daily tournaments regardless of the hour.
  • Major Tournament Hub: As of 2026, the Metro remains the home of the Philippine Poker Tournament (PPT) and the RVS Cup, frequently hosting massive festivals like the “Walk to a Million”.
  • Expansive Capacity: The venue features over 30 tables, including a dedicated VIP section and high-stakes private rooms for elite players.

The 2026 Player Experience

In 2026, the Metro Card Club remains the most accessible venue for players of all levels, offering the widest range of blinds in the city. From the legendary PHP 10/20 and 25/50 No Limit Hold’em games to high-stakes Pot Limit Omaha (up to 500/1000 in the private room), the action is diverse and constant.

For tournament enthusiasts, the 2026 calendar is anchored by major series such as the Metro Summer Event (April) and the Batang Metro Poker Challenge (August), often featuring multi-million peso guarantees. The club also provides a full-service experience with a bar, billiards table, and highly trained staff that maintain a “serious but hospitable” environment for the poker community.
