Day 8 at the U Series of Poker Vietnam was nothing short of action packed as another Main Event flight filled the Crown Poker Club. While the Main Event was the highlight of the day, three players also distinguished themselves at the side events with Japan earning its first series victory. Here are the day’s highlights and results.
FESTIVAL RESULTS
Event 17: Main Event (In Progress)
The Main Event Day 1B was a hotbed of excitement, attracting 213 entries (134 unique, 79 re-entry) over ten rounds of registration. The field was buzzing with a mix of Day 1A fallouts and fresh faces. Among the newcomers was Kwan Do aka Hasagi who bagged the chip lead with a huge 144 BB stack.
Kwan Do (Hasagi)
To reach such heights, in a critical hand against another big stack, Michael Kim Falcon, Kwan landed a sick one-outer to propel him to the top of the counts which he held to the end of day. This was Hasagi’s biggest takedown. Decorated high roller Minh Quang Nguyen also fell to Hasagi.
