With three starting days in the books, that leaves just two more chances to try to qualify. Up next is Day 1D and Day 1E (Turbo) which take place on Saturday, November 18 at 2pm and 7pm. Based on past events, these heats will be the busiest, so make sure to get there early to avoid becoming an alternate.
Looking back, the RVS CUP has crowned both established poker pros and rising stars, transforming players from relative obscurity into poker notoriety. Among the past winners are Lester Edoc, Richard Marquez, Anacleto Quijano, Marco Almerez, Jeffrey Calma, and Christopher Chua.
Last year, hot running local Vamerdino Magsakay topped the 766 entry field for a ₱1.6 Million payout deal. To date, this is the largest prize money collected by any RVS CUP champion. Without a doubt, that figure will be exceeded with this year’s prize pool at a minimum ₱10 Million.
Are you ready to be the next RVS CUP champion? If yes, then make your way to the Metro!
