Sunshine Samson Wins 2nd Metro 5K Saturday!

February 19, 2008

The second Metro 5K Saturday was full again, with 4 tables of the best poker players from the local scene vying for the title of 5K Saturday Champion and the P100,000 first place prize. Players also saw the new METRO 5K SATURDAY all-weather jacket that was custom made for the champions of this tournament, and it made them all the more focused on winning the game.

As usual, there was a lot of action and excellent poker play. After almost 5 hours of poker, it was down to the final table. Players like Philippine representative to the WSOP Alan Escano, Consistent Final Table finisher Jardine Gerodias, METRO75 winner Barb Galan, Sunshine Samson, and otherwell known faces in the poker community were ready to go for the title plus the P100,000 first prize.

Eventually, it was down to heads up with Alan Escano and Lesley Jean (Sunshine) Samson. Sunshine outlasted Alan after an intense heads up battle, and got her first (but for sure it won’t be her last) title in The Metro as the 2nd METRO 5K SATURDAY champion!
