CHAMPIONSHIPS EVENT ₫4 BN gtd up next from July 20 to 24; bubble protection in effect

Up next at the APT Summer Festival Hanoi – VSOP 2022 is the CHAMPIONSHIPS EVENT featuring a VN₫ 4 Billion guarantee! This is the second featured event of the series which runs from July 20 to 24. Similar to the main, it is a deep structured tournament with starting stack at 250x the opening big blind and level intervals at a generous 60-minute pace. Due to its higher buy in of VN₫ 38,500,000 (~US$ 1,640), the field is usually populated by high rollers and the deep pocketed. The event kicks off with two starting days followed by Day 2, Day 3, and the Final 8. For late comers, you can sign up as late as Day 2 with three levels of registration available. Awaiting the eventual champion is a large first prize payout, the APT Championships Event Trophy, and APT Championship Ring. 

The ongoing festival has already seen past champions in action such as reigning Nguyen Van Sang, first ever Championships Event winner Huu Dung Nguyen, and Ngoc Anh Cao. They will likely be in the field to try to secure a second title. 

For those hoping to enter for a cheap, there are a few satellites offered. Make sure to check the schedule for the details.
