HomeHO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam – In a power play that faltered, Song Jae Min of Korea becomes the latest casualty in the APT Vietnam Ho Chi Minh 2022 Main Event and his bust-out now brings the proceedings to the Final 8 to contest the record-breaking VND 2.7B (US$116,441.00) top prize at the Saigon Poker Club here.
Vietnam’s Nguyen Quoc Dinh opened from MP and was raised by Song at the D. Action folded back to Nguyen who three-bet. After using a Time Bank Chip, Song shoved. Nguyen asked for a count and decided to call.
Song tabled K8o while Nguyen dominated him with A8o. The flop did not help Song and he is now out of the competition, but still pockets VND281,960,000.00 (US$12,124.00).
