Event #11: High Roller Single Day with a buy-in of 33 million VND saw an impressive turnout of 132 registrations, quadrupling the initial projections by the organizing committee. The guaranteed prize pool was set at 1 billion VND. However, in reality, the champion took home 1 billion VND as the total prize pool far exceeded that figure.
In the final table featuring 9 competitors from various nations, including 2 representatives from Vietnam, Huu Dung and Bao An, alongside players from France, Taiwan, India, and China.
After nearly 2 hours of intense competition, the Vietnamese players struggled to amass chips for themselves. Eventually, Huu Dung found himself in an All-in situation alongside Anthony Cierco and Zhao Xin.
Board: Q95 Q J. VĐV Hữu Dùng finished in the top 5.
The remaining Vietnamese player, "Bao An the Nuts," couldn't hold on for much longer either. The critical situation that took Bao An by surprise was when Ta Wei Tou, a player with a rather modest chip stack, accurately seized an opportunity from the small blind against Bao An in the big blind. Bao An hesitated but eventually called the All-in move from Ta Wei Tou. Unfortunately, the flop revealed a 7 of clubs, leading to Bao An's elimination, finishing in the top 4.
In the end, the French player, Anthony Cierco, emerged victorious after a showdown against Ta Wei Tou, securing the 1 billion VND prize.
