For the past few days, the inaugural Poker Dream Vietnam MAIN EVENT has filled the Grand Hall of Hoiana Hotel & Suites to capacity, producing record numbers for the country. The 822 entry-field was the largest seen for a buy in of ₫25 Million (~$1,020), and the ₫17,940,150,000 (~$731,350) prize pool was the richest, surpassing the previous record by more the ₫100M.
As the Main Event enters its final day, excitement is at its peak with 19 players hunting down the title and the coveted top prize of ₫3,378,000,000 (~$137,700). At the helm are two players just 1 BB apart, Dinh Van Tien with 60 BB and Ngo Minh Tien with 59 BB. The larger of the two, Dinh Van Tien was the bane of Jack En Ching Wu and Huyen Kinh Nguyen, both players seeing their pocket pair losing to Ace-King.
Dinh Van Tien
A total of six players from Vietnam will be looking to rein it in, the most by any country. Also in multiple numbers are three players players from Hong Kong led by Dennis Ng, three from Korea with Day 2 entering chip leader Hojin Kim in the mix, and a couple of players from Malaysia, one of them is Wai Sim Kok who has already reached two final tables this series. Taiwan will also have two flag-bearers in the lineup, Megastack champion He Zong Chi and runner up Fu Bang Huang. The remaining two are India’s Dhaval Mudgal and Filipino David Erquiaga with the latter looking for redemption after finishing 2nd at the inaugural Poker Dream Main Event in Malaysia last July.
Action resumes at 1pm on Sunday, October 23, 2022. The final table will be livestreamed on Poker Dream social media channels. You can also follow the action via our Live Updates from start to finish.
