HomeAfter twelve days of APT Vietnam 2019 that ran from November 6 to 17 at host venue Pro Poker Club, the awards table was wiped out and 24 players walked away as series champions. Congratulations to all the winners!
The biggest winners were Akshay Nasa for topping a Main Event field of 436 entries; Vincent Chauve at the Championships Event, besting a field of 179 entries. Chauve also finished 2nd at the Main Event making him the overall wealthiest player of the series. At the side games, Joakim Andersson and Vincent Li both won two High Rollers events.
