"It feels great, I finally get a win! Last time, I lost a flip heads up. I got my revenge this time!”, commented Jia following his victory.

"That’s been a goal of mine for the past year. My goal was to hit $1M in live earnings. I finally achieved that!"

Australia's William Jia bested the Super High Roller 137 (83 unique) entry field and bagged the largest cut of the VN₫ 10,402,400,000 (~US$ 422,690) pot following two days of play. Reminiscent of the recently concluded USOP Hai Phong High Roller Championship, Jia again, battled Romania's Bogdan Munteanu for the title. This time around, Jia closed out the victory, taking with him VN₫ 2,101,014,000 (~US$ 85,440) in winnings and the third series USOP Elite trophy.

"I didn’t make any adjustments heads up because the player is a strong, competent player so I played as theoretically as sound as I imagined it to be. Just got lucky, I got a lot of cards."

Jia entered the final table middle of the pack and was two hours in before he finally picked up momentum. In a clash against Nguyen Ngoc Dai, Jia secured a full double up with K♥ K♣ against the Vietnamese runner's A♣ J♦ to rise up second in rank. Jia eventually overtook the lead, widening the gap even further having cracked Karrim Ahmed's A♦ A♠ with 8♣ 9♣ on board 9♥ 7♥ K♣ T♣ 9♦ . Jia went on to finish the South African runner in fourth place with a blind battle seeing his J♥ 9♠ outrun Ahmed's J♣ Q♥ having spiked a nine on board.

Stacking more than half the chips in play at this point, Jia relinquished the lead as Bogdan Munteanu chipped 25 big blinds off his stack with the latter's A♣ T♦ crushing his A♠ K♣ . Fortunately, Jia recovered right away after delivering Duong Chi Thanh's bust in third place to reach heads up play with the advantage. Unlike their previous battle, today's match saw an ICM deal in place with Munteanu guaranteed a lesser payout of VN₫ 1,948,985,000 (~US$ 79,260), and the trophy left for play. Action continued for less than half an hour before Jia finally booked the win, with the final hand seeing the Australian pro run two pair with K♠ 2♦ on board 5♣ 2♠ A♦ K♣ 5♥ against Munteanu's J♣ T♦ .
