GT500+ Member Shares Experiences from the PPPoker World Championship in Manila
The PPPoker World Championship was held in Manila, Philippines, from February 19 to 25. The event was organized by the developers of the mobile application PPPoker, a major player in the Asian market. The series included 11 tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $113 to $2,080, and a unique team tournament with a $10,300 buy-in for teams of nine.
The main tournament had a guarantee of 20,000,000 Philippine pesos, approximately $380,000. The team tournament was a three-day event where teams of nine competed in various formats, including 6-max SNGs and head-to-head SNGs. The team from Thailand won the team tournament, with Malaysia taking second place.
The event was held at the Resorts World Manila casino, which is part of a complex that includes a shopping center and hotel. The author, a member of the GT500+ team, traveled from Thailand to Manila for the event. The author recommends using the Grab app for transportation in Manila, as it is more cost-effective than traditional taxis. The author suggests staying in hotels in the Newport City area, Makati City, or Fort Bonifacio for safety and convenience.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
