Congratulations to Neil Arce, Winner of the 2009 Asian Poker Tour Philippines Main Event ($185,000)

Earlier this week, Neil Arce guaranteed to Asian Poker Tour CEO Chris Parker that Arce would win this tournament. Parker reminded Arce of that fact in the trophy presentation ceremony after Arce's win, then asked him what he had to say. Arce was literally speechless.

"It's not often you'll find Neil Arce without words," quipped Parker.

This was one of the shortest final tables anyone in the media row could remember, clocking in at less than three hours. We don't think there was a single all-in hand that resulted in a double-up. Every time a player's all-in bet was called, that player was eliminated. It made for a mercifully short day.

Arce was the Day 1a chip leader and emerged victorious after a short heads-up battle with the Day 1b and Day 2 chip leader, Steve Yea. It was another case of "so close...!" for Yea, who finished second in Macau last year to Yevgeniy Timoshenko. For his impressive run through the field, Arce earns $185,000 and the winner's trophy.

That will do it for us from Manila. Later in the week PokerNews in conjunction with PokerNetwork will be traveling to Adelaide, Australia for the first ever installment of the Australia and New Zealand Poker Tour. We hope you can join us there in person, but if not feel free to follow along at home.

Good night!
