We’ve now had time to catch up with the side events. On Day 6 of the inaugural Poker Dream Vietnam, Hong Kong’s Vincent Li and Korea’s Gi Young Jin lifted trophies just before the morning light. The following day, the two day Deepstack resumed with Vietnam’s Dang Thanh Luong overcoming a deficit at heads up to clinch it. Well past the midnight hour, Ryan Mingho Yum topped the third version of the Short Deck High Roller, and two hours later, at 4am, We’ve got those results for you down below.
VINCENT LI takes down the High Roller Single Day for ₫1,971,000,000 (~$80,350)
While the Super High Roller was busy hunting down its victor, another high tier event kept the pros busy. The High Roller Single Day with a buy in of ₫100,000,000 (~$4,050) kicked off at 3pm and by close of registration 77 signed up, which was four more than its earlier version. This added another hefty prize pool of ₫7,168,700,000 (~$292,240) to the festival’s overall numbers. 11 players got paid with Hong Kong’s Vincent Li seizing the biggest cut for his victory. Li also lifted the brand’s custom designed silver dragon trophy, making him the second champion from Hong Kong.
The win was Li’s largest in Asia and second best of his career following his 2018 victory at The Wynn Summer Classic in Las Vegas.
Vincent Li Kwun Ngai
The event ran a grueling fourteen hours before wrapping up at 5am. On the tenth hour, Le Huy Thanh delivered the bubble with rivered flush over Ace-high then race up to the final three with fellow countryman Tran Huy Hoang giving them an advantage in numbers to take it home for Vietnam. However, the massive stacked Li denied them that reality. With his massive stack, Li cleaned out Le with a straight then did the same to Tran with 
standing firm against 
on a final board 
.

DANG THANH LUONG takes down the Deepstack for ₫379,180,000
Dang Thanh Luong
Cheers heard around the room as Vietnam celebrated its newest champion, Dang Thanh Luong, at the Deepstack event. Dang bested a field of 206 entries to snatch the ₫379,180,000 (~$15,450) first prize and his first international title and trophy. Watch the Final 6 recorded action via the Poker Dream social media channels or read on for the brief recap.
The two day event reached the final table four hours into the day. Among them was Mystery Bounty champion Kunal Patni who was looking to be the first player win two titles. However it was not to be as Patni was the first to go in 9th place. As the rest raced to the top, it was Dang Thanh Luong and Changwon Lee commanding the table that it was no surprise to see them go head to head for the trophy.
Action opened with Luong ahead in the count but after just 30 minutes of play, the counts switched with Lee losing chips on a bluff and on a failed hero call with bottom pair. Down to his last 10 BB, Lee took a final stand with 
that was dominated by Dang’s 
. The board favored the better cards running 
for the flush.
