Day 1
Hyunh Van Hung rises to the top
A cooler situation, Hyunh Van Hung’s Q♦ Q♣ was behind against Nguyen Tan Khoa’s A♠ A♣ for a 40BB pot. The window card unfortunately for Nguyen, instantly revealed a Q♠ followed by 6♣ 6♦ . No ace came on either turn or river, eliminating Nguyen from the qualifier in a terrible bad beat.
The following hand, button Hyunh delivered another elimination after calling off a 37,000 all-in from big blind Ngo Khoa Anh.
Ngo J♥ 3♥ Hyunh A♠ J♣
An easy win for Hyunh, the board 6♠ 7♣ 5♣ 9♣ K♥ missed to pair both players with Hyunh’s ace-high taking the cake.
