Mini Main Event (20,000,000 VND)

The cut-off raised to 600,000. Ma Haohui re-raised to 2,000,000 from the small blind with Q♦ Q♣. Wang Chen re-raised to 2,700,000 on the big blind with J♦ J♣. The cut-off folded, but Haohui added the change for the call.

The board ran out A♠ 4♠ 6♣ 4♥ 4♣ , giving the check-mark to Haohui and eliminating Chen from the tournament in 6th place to take home a share of VND 682,000,000 (~USD 27,000).

Action folded to the blinds when small blind Ma Haohui raised all-in with 8♥ 7♣ to pressure the short-stacked big blind. Big blind Wang Chen peeked into A♦ 5♠ and made the call, risking his last 950,000.

The flop of A♠ 2♥ K♣ gave Chen top pair and held on to win after the board completed Q♥ J♥. Chen doubled-up and put a dent on Ma Haohui's stack.

Nguyen Than Minh raised to 40,000 from under the gun and Wang Chen defended the big blind for both to be offered a flop of Q♦ 3♦ 3♥. Chen check-raised to 90,000 from Minh's 25,000 bet. Minh completed to see a 8♣ turn. Chan announced "all-in" and Minh was quick to surrender.

85 players are still in contention with each earning at least VND 46,500,000 (~USD 1,800).

Wang Chen made the min-raise to 20,000 from under the gun. Vu Hoang Dat three-bet raised to 60,000 form the hi-jack. When action fell back to Chen, he four-bet to 130,000. Dat went into a bit of deep thought, spending one time-bank card and wondering if aliens live among us. Dat eventually surrendered the pot.
