With the APPT Manilla Main Event<\/strong><\/a> now completed, we have seen Wilson Lim carry on to the top and defeating 1,364 competitors who were just as eager to grab $243,324<\/strong> of the total cash pool. Lim\u2019s success was not a mere begging of the fates. He managed to pull some stellar plays and transition from the short-stack to the undisputed leader, several times, reports have said.<\/p>\n

Lim Storms the Finals<\/h2>\n

With Day 3 of APPT Manila<\/a> having seen only 41 people make it to the later stages of the race, Lim kept his cool and kept playing with apparent consideration. His reward is much greater than the $243,324 he has just added, Lim managed to get himself a $30,000 PSPC Platinum Pass<\/strong>, allowing him to participate in more poker action based on merit alone!<\/p>\n

The Platinum Passes are a hallow token of appreciation in the world of competitive plays and most players try to get a free entry into the competitions in a bid to save on their bankroll, but also as a matter of pride. Skill alone should be enough to get them into a competition.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Lim had a fairly tough final table when he had to meet with his opponent from China, Yuan Chao Li<\/strong>. With unadulterated Eastern perfection, the pair battled it out until Lim finally took the upper hand and managed to clinch a victory, relegating Yuan Chao Li to second place for $149,334.<\/p>\n

The tournament itself wasn\u2019t ungenerous. Places 1 through 9 all got a varying chunk of the total prize money, which indicated the goodwill of the hosts to encourage the game, players, and ultimately greater interest in their own product. <\/p>\n

Looking at the finalists, the following picture revealed itself:<\/p>\n
