On a board 4♠ 9♠ 3♣ A♥ 10♠, Son Hoang laid out a 125k bet onto a pot of about 115k. This tanked Ankit Jajodia who eventually called. Hoang showed Q♥ J♦ cold stone bluff, Jajodia won it with A♠ 10♦ two pair. Hoang dropped to 470k, Jajodia chipped up to 712k.
Sumit Sapra and Tran Nam Trung went at it with two shoves nearly back to back. On the first bout, Sapra’s Q♣ Q♥ dominated Tran’s 5♠ 5♥ throughout for a double up. Following that hand, the next showdown saw a flop 5♥ 3♦ 2♥. Tran was all in with 6♣ 6♠, Sapra had him sweating with A♠ K♦, the turn 10♦ and river J♥ was good for a double up to Tran. He recovered the lost chips and zoomed to 1.1M. Sapra dropped to 439k.
Le Van Dien’s stack swung all day, paying out and shipping it but never increasing enough to be a major threat to the big stacks. His final hand arrived with K♥ Q♥ unable to crack Dinh Tien Thanh’s A♥ A♠. He finished 20th for VN₫ 76,340,000 (~US$ 3,285).
Hue Dang was all in for her last 81k and had to fade off two players to stay in the running for a second title. Not the case though as the three way showdown ended in a lucky win for Tran Huy Hoang who nearly joined the champion at the rail.

Catching the action on the river betting 3♥ 8♥ 9♣ 5♣ 8♣, Dang Duy Thanh snap called all Nguyen Van Sang’s shove then quickly showed his J♦ 9♦ two pair. Nguyen opened his big hand 8♦ 8♠ and shipped the double up to 380k. Dang dropped to 620k.

On a flop 5♣ 2♦ 10♠, and a raised pot built preflop, Le Anh Minh engaged in a betting war that resulted in Pham at risk. However, Pham had K♥ K♣ overpair against Le’s Q♠ 10♥, the turn A♠ and river J♠ were kind to Pham to ship the double up to 330k. Le dropped to 775k.
Action folded around to small blind Dinh Duc Linh who shoved his short stack with A♦ 8♦. Big blind Le Van Dien aka Kenny was also short and looked down at Q♠ J♠ and risked it. With the board running 5♦ 5♥ 6♥ A♥ 8♣, it was a double up for Dinh to 365k and down to 4 BB for Kenny.
Action folded around to the small blind Thomas Ward who raised it up three times to 36k, big blind Rijad Hasani wasted no time counting out a three-bet and just jammed his massive pile. This sent Ward tanking then opted to risk his over 30 BB stack.
