Flight A of the Poker Dream 10 Vietnam Main Event was a light one with only 31 taking interest. A the clock neared 4am, the bubble burst and the remaining 4 players bagged up and are guaranteed a piece of the VN₫ 20,000,000,000 (~USD 789,110) prize pool. Racking up the largest pile was none other than the bubble executioner Korea’s with 221,000 (55 bb). Not too far behind is Australia’s Julian Warhurst with 206,000 (51 bb). The players have a few days break before returning for Day 2 on May 4, 2024.

On the downside, the day’s fallouts included notables Anton Lu, Yohwan Lim, Alex Lee, Jack Salter, and Hyun Sup Kim to name a few. Luckily there are still seven flights remaining to get a chance at this juicy pot.
