Congratulations to Antonio "Tonypet" Albano, who is the Filipino Poker Tour Metro Anniversary Special champion!
Tony overcame 530 other top-class poker players in the tournament to make it to the final nine.
He maintained a big stack throughout the final table and finally eliminated five players, including the feisty Jade Triste to take home the trophy and Php 3,000,000 in cash.
Tony Albano has just won the FPT Metro Anniversary Special!
Pre-flop, Jade shoved with her remaining chips and got a call from Tony.

Jade was slightly ahead pre-flop with her ace high.
However, disaster struck for her when a king immediately came on the flop.
The turn and river did her no good, giving Tony Albano all the chips on the table.
It was a valiant effort by Jade to overcome her chip deficit with a lot of aggressive play. She exits as the runner-up but still walks away with a hefty prize of Php 1,700,000.
