Main Event Details
The RPT Main Event runs December 7–11 with a VND 25 billion guarantee. The total entry is VND 33 million, comprising a VND 30 million buy-in and VND 3 million fee. Players start with 50,000 chips across five flights: three regular flights and two turbo flights, scheduled for December 7–9. Day 2 is December 10 and the final day is December 11.
The mechanics state that 4% of the prize pool is held for staff costs and that players must reach Day 2 to cash. Players who qualify from more than one starting flight may play their largest stack on Day 2; the other qualifying stack receives the minimum cash. A Tiger Quest promotion lists three VND 33 million credit tickets for players who reach eight times the starting stack: two on Day 1A and one on Day 1B.
