A winner in Manila?
As I write events in Manila are reaching a conclusion after several days play at the City of Dreams. The final nine was led by Linh Tran and among an almost all-Asian final the English Pro Sam Razavi.
The unmistakable poker face of Sam RazaviOur team of Brad Kain and Marc Convey have been court side since the start with live updates, which you can read on the APPT Manila coverage page. And wait, yes… the result is just in from Manila. There is a winner after all, which you can read about here.
