During the bubble round, Alok Birewar doubled up through Dang Van Hien with pocket Sixes holding against overcards however on his next shove his A♥ Q♠ were crushed by Huy Pham‘s 10♦ 10♣ that improved to quads. From there, the hunt for the title ran another five hours. Trung was already the backed by a massive stack at the start of the final table and held it to the end.
At three-handed, Trung was flanked by Pham and Nang Quang Nguyen, both players heads up at an earlier high rollers event. Trung’s stack was unshakeable, sending Nguyen out in 3rd place then denied Pham a second series trophy with K♦ J♣ over J♠ 10♣ on a board Q♣ K♥ 2♦ 5♦ 6♣.

Nguyen stayed alive with back to back double ups but on the third shove, it was a victory for Singhvi with K♥ J♥ top pair over K♠ 4♣ bottom pair on a board J♠ 6♣ 9♦ 4♦ 6♥.
