Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Poker King Club President and Asian high-stakes legend Winfred Yu is having quite the day.
He came in with less than 20,000 chips and a chair - One of the shortest stacks in the room. Now, after making a set to bust yet another player in a string of half a dozen or more over the past few levels, he's closing in on 600,000.
He fired two bullets on Day 1a before eventually earning that short stack. Then tried to take advantage of the best stack forward re-entry policy here at APPT Manila by firing again on Day 1b to no avail.
It turned out all he needed was the few chips he'd bagged Thursday and a little bit of a heater to earn a spot among the chip leaders now deep into Level 17 and well past the money bubble.
