We were supposed to go hand-for-hand during the bubble round but it wasn’t needed. Immediately after Nguyen Trung Hieu eliminated a player with Q-Q over 9-9 to bring about the critical round, Iori Yogo moved all in with J♣ J♠ and was looked up by Frederic Bolliet with K♠ K♣. The board bricked and Yogo fell as the bubble boy while Boillet celebrated the win.
The remaining 84 players are all in the money!
Main Event Day 2 has been running since 1pm and currently there are 109 players remaining from the 203 that qualified. We will begin our live updates at the bubble round of 85 players so make sure to stand by for that.
For those just tuning in, the Main Event attracted a massive 499 entries with each one ponying up the VND 22,000,000 buy-in. This sent the pot soaring to VND 9,680,600,000 setting a new record for the largest-ever live tournament prize pool in Vietnam. As it stands, only 84 will earn a share with the eventual winner claiming VND 1,636,720,000.
