Championship Event (25,000,000 VND)

John Matsuda raised 500,000 from under the gun and small blind Hung Wan shoved his last 1,000,000 all-in. Matsuda added the spare change for the call.

Wan showed K♠ K♥ dominating Matsuda's K♦ T♦. The board ran 7♣ A♣ 8♦ 5♥ J♠. Wan's kings stayed ahead throughout to double his stack up and avoid elimination.

This is it! The final 9 players are set to play on the final table. Hopefully, a champion can be crowned by the 11:15 deadline set by the tournament director. ICM deal will be determined after the end of "regulation time"

Meanwhile, play continues as is.

Yuan Yilu went all-in for 750,000 on the cut-off and was called by Hung Wan on the small blind. Yilu opened K♣ Q♣ with Hung Wan showing A♥ 5♣.

The flop came K♥ T♣ 9♥ to give Yilu a pair of kings overtake Wan. The board finished J♥ 6♠, and gave Yilu the double-up pot.

Action folded to the blinds. Small blind Tran Minh Thang shoved 1,975,000 all-in and big blind Hung Wan challenged after some consideration worth one time-bank token.

Thang showed Q♥ 7♥

Wan showed K♠ J♣

Board ran 3♠ 8♦ 6♠ 8♥ 3♣

The king of Wan was the better kicker for the board's two pair and took down the double up

Tran Minh Thang raised all-in from under the gun for his last 765,000. Hung Wan three-bet raised all-in from the cut-off to isolate the play.

Thang fliped over 9♣ 9♠ against Hung Wan's A♠ K♥

The board completed 3♦ 8♥ T♠ 8♠ Q♠ with Thang's nines maintaining its lead to double-up.

Both players had their chips in the middle with Kim Chong Hwa at risk for his last 355,000.

Hung Wan and Pham Tung Khanh were staring at a board of 5♣ 5♥ J♠ 3♦ and a pot of 475,000. Wan bet 150,000 and Khanh called. A 3♣ came on the turn. Wan checked and Khanh bet 350,000. Wan gave up.

Hung Wan and Nguyen Thai Quang were looking at a board of 2♦ 4♦ 6♥ A♠ with 730,000 chips beside it. Wan Bet 200,000 and Quang called to open a 9♣ on the river. Wan shoved all-in.

Quang went into deep thought, studied the board, studied Wan, wondered how oysters make pearls, threw in three-time bank cards and threw in his last 630,000 for a call.

Wan showed A♦ 6♦ for two pair and Quang showed 3♣ 3♥ for a pair of threes, ending his tournament life.

After a raise-re-raise back-and-forth joust, Hung Wan shoved all-in and Rtis Pranarauskas called his last 507,000 at risk. Pranarauskas showed A♥ A♣ and Wan showed K♠ K♣.
