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!

Hopefully you can start having weekend afternoon tournaments already. The Metro 24/7 yeah!

What’s the payout like for P75k guaranteed?

Agreed, a saturday 1PM deepstack tourney would be great… And maybe a low entry fee multi-rebuy tourney…

we will be posting the payout structures and also the blinds structures for our tournaments soon.
The Metro 75 winner usually gets 35-40K based on the previous 4 tournaments with an average of 50-60 players. The pot has exceeded 100K everytime

Please reserve a shirt for me. I guess I’m a Medium. I’m just waiting for my schedule to free up then I can win one of those shirts.

who’s the 1st winner of the METRO75? You should have a gallery of winners. So we would know who’s the best in the Metro. lol

we will be updating the site with a feature of the last 4 winners this week. So far we’ve had 4 winners: Eric Mendoza, Renan Morales, Thotee Alano(hope it’s right), and Barb Galan.
Eric Mendoza placed 2nd on the third tournament, almost winning his second metro75 in out of three times!
The Roster of players who join that tourny is something to be reckoned with, with titles and cashes amounting to millions of pesos

I won the Metro 75 tournament last June and qualified for the FPT that month but I did not get the exclusive T-shirt. Do you still have one and if yes, can you spare it?
Thanks,
