The Championship Event continues its fast pace with shoves up the wazoo. Pham Tien Dung fell on a cooler in 14th place with Q♥ Q♠ running into Alex Lindop's K♥ K♦ .

Xin Tang - 12th place - VN₫ 122,600,000

Jongbea Jang was also all in with Q♦ Q♣ but unlike Pham, his ladies got lucky against Xin Tang's K♣ K♠ on a board running 3♥ 3♦ 4♦ Q♥ 5♣ to stick around. For Tang, he nosedived to 3 bb and managed to double up then still fell in 12th place with 8♠ 8♥ straight losing to Tianhao Zheng's K♣ 7♣ higher straight on a board 9♠ Q♣ T♦ 9♦ J♥ .

14 Players Left At The Championship Event

Pham Truong Giang - 15th place - VN₫101,000,000

It's a shove fest at the Championship Event and now it is down to 14 players. After Alex Lindop cracked Pham Truong Giang's aces, Pham plunged to 6 bb then lost it all to Lindop with A♥ 8♦ dominating J♦ 9♠ to finish in 15th place.

Before Pham's fall, Nguyen Trung Ha got chunked to 7 bb by Ledong Zhou when his 8♣ 8♦ dodged Nguyen's A♦ Q♥ overcards. Nguyen recovered some by doubling up through Tianhao Zheng with A♥ 9♦ besting Q♦ 5♥ .

Bui Van Nam - 16th place

Not so fortunate though for Bui Van Nam who three-bet his last 16 bb on A♣ T♠ then failed to improve against Jun Zhao's K♦ K♠ that even landed a set.

Bubble Bursts At Championship Event Day 1B

Bubble bursts!

Blinds: 5,000-10,000 ante 10,000

With two spots to bagging time / ITM, three tables still had action going. One player then busted. At another table Pham Tien Dung was exploiting the moment raising then four-bet shoving on top of Yuan Xu's three-bet. Xu folded after using up two time-banks. Pham happily showed his Q♦ T♥ bluff as he raked in the pot.

The last table running ended with short stacked Chu The Dan all in for his last 3 bb holding A♥ T♣ that fell to bigger stacked Hoang Le Anh Tuan's A♠ Q♠ on a board K♦ Q♦ 2♥ T♦ 6♠. While there was no hand-for-hand, Chu was the bubble boy.
