Vietnam<\/strong>‘s quick and aggressive response to the current Covid-19 crisis has been widely recognized for its success in keeping transmission rates under control especially in the Southeast Asi\ufeff\u7280\u5229\u58eb<\/a>\n<\/span>a region<\/strong> where a number of high risk countries are still in a losing battle against the spread of the virus. For more than a month, no local transmissions were recorded in the country allowing the economy including live poker to open back up. With live poker festivals in recent months meeting great turnouts, the Vietnam Series of Poker Championship II<\/a> held in Grand Loyal Poker Club<\/a> in Hanoi, Vietnam<\/strong> carried on to award over VND 6 billion (~USD 260,000) in guarantees last mid-November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Live poker in Vietnam<\/strong> shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon with the 9-day series which ran from November 14-22, 2020, having generated a new record biggest prize pool amounting to more than VND 15 billion (~USD 650,000). Main Event champion Hoang Ngoc Tai<\/strong> and Superstars Challenge champion Pham Quyet Tien<\/strong> were among the big winners of the series, taking home over a billion VND (~USD 43,300) each for their victories. A first in Vietnam<\/strong>, the VSOP Championship II\u2019s Heads up event<\/strong> was also a success, making this format a possible staple in local festivals. All in all, the series catered to more than 300 players from 21 nations despite the decreased tourism across the world with more live poker action likely to follow in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The multi-day Main Event<\/strong> attracted a whopping total of 449 entries from its four starting day flights, surpassing the initial guarantee of VND 3 billion (~USD 130,000). The generated prize pool of VND 4,355,300,000 (~USD 188,726) was awarded spread out to roughly 10% of the field with local Hoang Ngoc Tai<\/strong> taking the lion\u2019s share of VND 1,024,300,000 (~USD 44,385) for his impressive run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hoang Ngoc Tai<\/strong> is no stranger to running deep in these live events, having a record of close to a million USD in total live earnings and ranking 4th in Vietnam\u2019s All Time Money List<\/strong>. Just earlier this year, Tai finished 2nd in the 2020 Aussie Millions Poker Championship Main Event<\/strong> in Melbourne<\/strong>, bagging a score of USD 910,447 in winnings. With a record of only nine events based on Hendon Mob<\/strong>, Tai<\/strong> takes this VSOP Main Event<\/strong> win as his first champion title in his 7-year results history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Buy-in: VND 11,000,000 (~USD 477) VSOP Championship II Main Event Final Table Results<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The single day Superstars Challenge<\/strong> turned out to be a big surprise for the VSOP Championship participants<\/strong> as the first prize money rose to be larger than that of the Main Event champion\u2019s payout<\/strong>. Having outlasted only 28 players, Pham Quyet Tien<\/strong> shipped the win of VND 1,155,000,000 (~USD 50,050) after defeating the pro-heavy field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pham Quyet Tien<\/strong> is a regular of live poker festivals around the Asian region<\/strong> with a long list of achievements dating back to a decade under his name. This most recent win however, seems to be Tien\u2019s<\/strong> Best Live Cash, surpassing his previous record of $22,837 for coming in 4th for the Asian Poker Tour Championship Event<\/strong> in 2019. While many are tuning in to the online poker scene, these skilled Vietnamese players are definitely turning huge profits in recent live poker events, making 2020 an eventful year despite the circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Buy-in: VND 106,000,000 (~USD 4,593) VSOP Championship II Superstars Challenge Full Payouts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n2020 VSOP Championship II Main Event: Hoang Ngoc Tai \u2013 VND 1,024,300,000 (~USD 44,385)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
