Mini Main Event (20,000,000 VND)

Irvan Iliad raised to 600,000 from UTG+1 with 9♥ 9♦. Fan Yingkun re-raised all-in for 1,600,000 in the small blind, holding 8♦ 8♣.

The board ran 5♠ A♣ 6♥ 2♥ K♦ . The nines of Iliadi held on to book the win and eliminate Yingkun in 7th place to earn VND 546,820,000 (~USD 21,500).

Action folded to the blinds when small blind Fan Yingkun limped with A♦ A♣. Big blind Ha Van Thien raised all-in for 2,300,000 with 9♠ 8♦ and Yingkun snap called for his remaining 1,300,000.

The board ran K♥ 6♥ 2♥ 5♦ 8♥. Thien made a pair on the river, but it was not enough to overcome Yingkun's pair of aces.

Fan Yingkun raise to 400,000 from UTG +1 and then called the all-in re-raise to 2 million by Ha Van Thien, who held A♥ Q♠. Yingkun called with A♠ 9♠.

The board ran 8♣ 3♦ 7a 6♥ J♠ to give Ha Van Thien a double-up.

Li Xinze raised all-in from under the gun for his last 215,000 and it look rather dimming with two callers coming behind - hi-jack Yang Xudong and big blind Fan Yingkun.

The flop came 7♠ 4♥ 6♥. Yingkun bet all-in for 1,275,000 and Xudong snap called.

Xinze showed A♣ 8♦ with a gut-shot straight draw.

Yingkun showed 7♣ 7♥ for a set of sevens.

Xudong showed A♥ A♠ for a pair of aces.

There were four 5's in the deck for Xinze's straight. There was one ace left in the deck for Xudong's outs. Yingkun looked poised to win both the main and side pot.

A J♣ on the turn didn't change the situation, except that the odds changed when it all came down to that one card in the river.

The poker gods threw in a 5♦ to give Xinze the nut-straight and a triple up from the main pot.

Yingkun's set of sevens held on to double from the healthier side pot. Meanwhile, Xudong was left with cracked aces and a stack of crumbs devoured by two hyenas.
