The Metro Card Club saw a larger turnout at the ₱5 Million guaranteed Christmas Special with Day 1B seeing 86 runners head to the felt. Combined with Day 1A’s 49 entries, the event has now drawn a cumulative 135 entries. With buy in at ₱16,500 (~$295), it is looking like uber-great value for players as an overlay is possible with only one entry day remaining.

Bagging up a substantial lead at the end of Day 1B was Bonifacio “Jun” Mondalo with a 172 BB stack. This was 51 BB ahead of his closest challenger Crispin Eilif Rovere. Overall, Day 1A chip leader Christopher “bigtime” Mateo continues to hold the torch with a 185 BB stack. Other notable players making the cut via this heat were Metro’s multi-decorated Noel Araniel, WPT Prime Cambodia Main Event 3rd placer Junnie Pamplona, and Metro livestream commentator Jester Intia.
