Main Event details
The first three days – April 20, 21, and 22 – are dedicated to entry flights. Four are scheduled with the last one a Turbo format. Players that sign up before Level 1 ends will receive a special USOP jacket. This applies to all Day 1 flights.
Once signed up, players begin with 40,000 in chips, equivalent to 400x the initial blinds. If you hadn’t noticed, this is much deeper than the brand’s inaugural live series Main Event in Taiwan last February.
Dates: April 20 to 24
Buy in: VN₫ 22,000,000 (~US$ 930)
Guarantee: VN₫ 10,000,000,000 (~US$ 425,350)
