Last week, the International Poker Open (IPO) Battle of the Nations took place at the Resorts World Manila. The event, which saw teams from countries in the Asia-Pacific region compete for points, saw Team Philippines, which was sponsored by Poker King Club at Solaire, emerge victorious to capture a $10,500 first-place prize.
It was an impressive win for the team, who swept all their heads-up matches in the opening round with John Tech, Lester Edoc and Andrew Gaw prevailing over opponents from Korea, China and Japan respectively.
