“It’s amazing, what’s special for me is, Josh Mccully, my good friend won this event the last time. Him and me are good friends, we chopped WPT Main Event, so me winning this trophy now feels good and I can’t wait to see him in a few weeks.”, commented Held following his win.

Having started the day with the chip lead, Konstantin Held coursed through the last four tables with ease, not once relinquishing the advantage. Held wielded his massive stack across the final table rounds, and carried this momentum all the way through to victory. A bulldozing win, Held takes with him VN₫ 4 Billion (~US$ 162K) in prizes along with the last USOP Elite trophy across the Hai Phong series.

“I was obviously lucky, the first day I won two massive flips against a local legend for a lot of chips. You’ve gotta win those. Today was smooth sailing for the most part. When I needed to have it, I had it and when I was bluffing, people would fold. I won the all-ins on the final table and was just in an amazing position to always put pressure, no one could really do anything.”
