Madness Kick Off (11,000,000 VND)

Hong Thao Dang shoved 72,000 all-in from the cut-off and was called by Huc Son Pham from the button. Pham had an advantage, but all cards were live pre-flop.

However, the flop of A♥ 2♣ 6♥ gave Pham the lead and the never looked back after the board completed 9♥ 7♦. Dang's run ended and Pham's stack almost doubled up.

Phuong Ngoc Nguyen shoved his last 38,000 all-in from UTG+2. Hong Thao Dang re-raised to 80,000 in order to isolate. However, the short-stacked Aayush Arya threw in her last 9,000 from the small blind and took a gamble.

The gamble paid when Arya turned a straight to triple up from the main pot. Dang's jacks held against Nguyen's Ace-Ten off to win the side pot that eliminated Nguyen from the event.
