HomeAfter three successful starting days, the APT Vietnam Ho Chi Minh Championships resumes at Pro Poker Club with 203 players kicking off Main Event Day 2. Although the money is still at a distance with 84 places paid, players will be looking to inch closer to the enormous prize pool worth VND 9,680,600,000.
This is the largest-ever seen live poker prize pool in Vietnam history with the previous one also set by the Asian Poker Tour, the first international brand to bring high caliber events to Vietnam. Out of that massive pie, VND 1,636,720,000 awaits the eventual winner.
