Four Way Action

We just witnessed a four way all-in preflop with the following hands and players:

Geoff Rodriguez: {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Cynthia Carrion: {K-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Erik Mana: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Vince Hizon: {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}

The board fell an exciting {A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} to see a short-stacked Carrion stay alive as Mana and Rodriguez head to the rail.

Rodriguez Crippled

Geoff Rodriguez has just been crippled when his {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} were no match for his opponent's {A-Clubs}{8-Spades} when the board ran out {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}.

He still has chips and is still wearing some classic shades!

Rayban Bonanza

With Rayban being one of the sponsors and presenters of today's Celebrity Charity Poker Challenge, it is no surprise to see all the player's wearing a pair of Raybans.

With a Rayban stall just outside the entrance to the poker room, it won't be a surprise to see the tournament floor looking a little more protected, because moving all in, never looked cooler!

Charity Champion Amongst Us

Troy Montero is a Filipino soap opera and television star and is playing alongside his girlfriend Aubrey Miles in today's event.

He isn't new to these charity events, as he already won one in Manila last year.

Tessa Prieto Valdez Making Noise

Tessa Prieto Valdez has already been all in during this tournament, and after winning the pot has been extremely noisy.

The fashion icon, columnist and socialite seems to really be enjoying her time on the table playing for her charity. With a bright blue outfit and glamorous hat, this might just be her tournament!
