FPT Hi-5
We didn’t blog about the FPT Metro Perfect 10, but we did post quite a few images from that event on our Facebook page. In fact, we have albums for the final 18, the final 9, and heads up play. Since that took place a few months ago, we don’t think it’s quite timely to blog about it now. Instead, we’re blogging about another, more recent FPT event: the FPT Metro Hi-5.
We weren’t around for the first few days of the tournament, but we were there for the final day – and it was quite a day. Play began a bit later than the planned 2:00 p.m. start, and ran well into past the night and into the next day. We’ve decided to share a handful of images with you – don’t you feel so privileged? =)
Check them out after the jump, and click on any of them to see a larger image.
Sitting down with Noel, Alan, and Eugene
Vic looking tough for the cameras
The stray cat (pusang gala) can't help but smile
"Don't you dare touch my chips!"
The man gives final instructions
Maike takes a breather before the cameras roll
We're down to the last 18 players
I want a good, clean fight... wait... wrong sport...
Look at that stack of chips...
Pusang Gala loosely translated: stray cat
"Ok masahista ko! (My masseuse is pretty good!)"
Who has the best poker face?
"I want that one too!"
Ozzie (did I spell it right?) seems pretty happy
Uh, oh!
Everybody's happy
Everybody's still happy
We're in the final table!
We're in the final table!
Take cover!
1,384,625... 1,384,626... 1,384,627...
Willing the flop to go his way...
Watching the turn
PUSANG GALA!!!!
Somebody's happy
What's up?
Yeah!
"That's it for me."
Don, Freddy, & Vic
We gotta give props to the host, right?
Who wants the trophy?
"We're down to the final two players..."
"How bad do you want it?"
"Salamat sa inyong lahat (Thank you, everbody)"
One last time: PUSANG GALA!!!

We submitted quite a few more to PokerStars, but we didn’t think you’d want to see all of them here. Besides, it would’ve taken ages for all of that to load. Anyway, we hope you liked what we’ve shared with you here.
