Tough Table?

Julio Diaz, Vincent Wan, Neil Arce
Julio Diaz, Vincent Wan, Neil Arce
On one of the outer tables on the tournament floor, we find Julio Diaz and Vincent 'Wonky' Wan seated with Filipino poker professional Neil Arce.

Arce is the first local Filipino player to cash in at the World Series of Poker; but won't be having an easy day on the felt. Tablemate Diaz has had some past success at the Asian Poker Tour when he placed 5th in the Macau main event, for close to US$70,000.

Australian Vincent 'Wonky' Wan is no 'newbie' to cardrooms either, having amassed a tournament record that includes winning an Aussie Millions preliminary event for over US$100,000, after dispatching of Michael 'Timex' McDonald. Spending most of his time playing online, Wan is currently touring the circuit, taking some time out to participate in today's main event.

Will our champion emerge from this tough table? Stay tuned to PokerNews as we provide every update from the tournament floor.
