The Metro Seventy-Five Tournament
Tired of the multi-rebuy/addon epidemic sweeping the local poker scene? For most true Poker aficionados, the true skill of the game can be found in the purest kind of poker tournament that can be played: The Freezout.
Hence, The METRO presents the METRO SEVENTY-FIVE. This tournament is a 2000+200 buy-in, P75,000 guaranteed prize pool, Freezout format game. Expect a diverse field, from your average rounder to the poker elite of the country, to come and play every Wednesday night and test their skills against each other. The structure is a skill-based deep stack structure that really weeds out luck, evident in the two previously held tournaments, where both 1st place winners were part of the Philippine contingent to the 2007 World Series of Poker. The Prize pool usually exceeds P100,000, making the game fiercely competitive and a true test of poker skill. Besides the cash prize, the winner gets immortalized by having his name framed on the wall of winners, plus he or she also gets an exclusive t-shirt designed only for winners of the METRO Seventy-Five tournament.
So pre-register now and play every Wednesday night at The METRO!
