APPT Manila Main Event won by Wilson Lim for $243,324

There were 1,364 player entries that participated in the APPT Manila Main Event ₱20 Million Guaranteed located at the City of Dreams Manila Resort and Casino. On Day 3 of the event, there were 41 remaining, and it was Wilson Lim who defeated everyone to claim the coveted APPT Main Event trophy, whopping first place prize money worth ₱12,970,000, and a PSPC Platinum Pass worth US$30,000!

On the final day of the tourney, the player number went down quite swiftly, and when the final table began did the players only really began to tighten up their playing styles. The big stack Yuan Chao Li took advantage of his position, bullying everybody all the way until the heads-up match.

On the other hand, Wilson Lim played most of the final table as the short stack and there was a time that he was just over one big blind! His patient style of play and lucky run of cards enabled him to get out of the short stack position and straight into the top 2.

Lim said, "Before I came to the final table, there were two tables and I had less than one big blind, so I just went all-in blind. I doubled and doubled until I was a big stack."

In the final hand of the heads-up match between Yuan Chao Li and Wilson Lim, Lim's ace-five beat Li's when all the cards were shown and it was Lim's flush that determined him the winner of the pot.

When asked about his thoughts on winning the tournament and getting a PSPC Platinum Pass to the Bahamas, he said, "Awesome and overwhelming for me, I played very long hours for this one because the schedule is so tight and I got maybe less than six hours of sleep every night. I have been playing poker for about 10 years now, it was about one or two years in that I started to realize poker was more than just gambling and I can improve myself. After a few years I started improving and now I earn most of my money just from poker."
