Tran Xuan Toan Claims Kick Off Victory In Lightning-Fast Finish

Level 35: 200,000 / 400,000 ante: 400,000

Toan Xuan Tran

It takes a special kind of run to rise above a 1,212-player field, and that’s exactly what Tran Xuan Toan achieved in the VND 8,000,000 Kick Off Event at the Grand Loyal Poker Championship (GLPC) inside Hanoi’s Grand Vista Hotel.

After five starting flights and a fast-paced Day 2, Toan secured the VND 1,352,000,000 (~$51,305) top prize from an impressive VND 8.4 billion (~$318,000) prize pool. But it was the finale that had everyone talking, as heads-up play against Vu Van Tiep ended in a single hand. One shove, one call, and Toan lifted the trophy before anyone had time to blink.

Tiep still walked away with a strong result, pocketing VND 945,344,000 (~$35,875) for his runner-up finish, while Toan celebrated his biggest victory yet.

A total of 150 players returned for Day 2, but the field was quickly trimmed down thanks to the brisk 35-minute levels. With just five minutes left in Level 30, the clock was paused after Nguyen Hien Trung saw his short stack go into the middle with seven-five but couldn’t overcome the ace-king of Tran Xuan Toan.

Once the final table was set, it was China’s Yupeng Xie who took command with a stack worth nearly 70 big blinds. Nguyen Quang Hieu sat at the opposite end of the counts, and the two wasted no time getting involved in the first big clash of the finale.

Yupeng Xie

Hieu looked set for a comeback when he picked up pocket jacks, but Xie woke up with aces. A clean board confirmed Hieu’s fate, sending him to the rail while Xie tightened his grip on the chip lead.

Duy Anh Nguyen and Jie Zheng were next to fall after the ever-rising blinds cut deep into their stacks, ending their runs in eighth and seventh place.

A dramatic three-way all-in soon followed that completely shifted the momentum. Haoran Sun got his short stack in with pocket aces against the ace-deuce of clubs held by Khoi Nguyen, while Toan came along with king-queen suited to put both opponents at risk. The flop came all clubs, giving Nguyen the flush and eliminating Sun in sixth place.

Nguyen Khoi

That hand opened the floodgates. Afu Wang was next to go after losing a flip with pocket eights against Toan’s ace-queen, finishing in fifth.

Moments later, another three-way all-in decided the rest. Toan’s pocket queens held strong against the ace-ten of Xie and the ace-jack of Nguyen. Being the shortest stack, Nguyen exited in fourth, while Xie followed in third.

Vu Van Tiep

When heads-up play began, it ended almost instantly. Toan moved all in on the button with queen-deuce, and Vu Van Tiep made the call with jack-five. The board ran clean for Toan, sealing his victory and wrapping up the Kick Off Event in the blink of an eye.

Vu Van Tiep

In the first hand of heads-up play, Vu Van Tiep shoved from the button for 28,000,000 and Toan Xuan Tran made the call, to determine whether Tiep would double or be eliminated in second:

Vu Van Tiep: : J♥ 5♦

Toan Xuan Tran: Q♥ 2♥

Tran paired his deuce on the 2♦ T♦ 6♣ flop, and stayed ahead as the 3♦ and 9♥ completed the board.

Level 35: 200,000 / 400,000 ante: 400,000

Khoi Nguyen and Yupeng Xie

Toan Xuan Tran raised to 1,000,000 from the button whilst both blinds Yupeng Xie and Khoi Nguyen got the remainder of their stacks in the middle. Covering both of them, Tran made the call:

Khoi Nguyen: A♥ J♥

Yupeng Xie: A♦ T♦

Toan Xuan Tran: Q♠ Q♦

Neither Nguyen or Xie could connect with their ace on the K♠ 4♦ 8♥ 6♠ 2♦ runout, meaning Tran scored a brutal double elimination, taking him into heads-up play with a commanding stack, and Nguyen was sent out in fourth, and Xie in third.

Afu Wang: 8♥ 8♠

Toan Xuan Tran: A♦ Q♥

The 9♣ 7♣ 3♥ flop looked promising for Wang, but the A♣ on the river gave Tran top pair, and the T♥ river confirmed Wang's exit in fifth.

Haoran Sun

Hijack Khoi Nguyen moved all in for 2,300,000, with small blind Haoran Sun calling to put himself at risk for around 2,000,000. Toan Xuan Tran also called from the big blind, which put two players at risk.

Haoran Sun: A♠ A♦

Khoi Nguyen: A♣ 2♣

Toan Xuan Tran: K♦ Q♦

Sun's bullets looked good for a triple-up, but the J♣ T♣ 8♣ flop gave Nguyen the nut flush, and the inconsequential 5♠ 7♦ runout completed the board, ultimately eliminating Sun in sixth place.

Sun Survives Thanks to Xie

Level 34: 150,000 / 300,000 ante: 300,000

Haoran Sun shoved 750,000 from under the gun and Yupeng Xie three-bet to 1,500,000 from middle position. Jie Zheng called on the button.

The flop came A♥ 8♦ 5♦ and Xie immediately shoved, which got Zheng to fold his T♠ T♣ .

Haoran Sun: K♣ 6♠

Yupeng Xie: Q♦ T♦

Amazingly, Sun was in the lead, but needed to fade a lot of outs as Xie had a flush draw with two live cards. The 7♥ turn and 6♥ river were complete bricks for Xie, and Sun survived.

Sun has Xie to thank for his survival, as Zheng would have had the best hand with his pocket tens.

Level 33: 100,000 / 250,000 ante: 250,000

After a series of orbits of not much action, Jie Zheng raised to 750,000 from early position and received two calls from in Afu Wang in middle position and Nguyen Khoi defending from the big blind.

The dealer turned over K♦ K♣ 4♦ for the flop and Khoi checked; Zheng moved all in for his remaining 325,000 whilst Khoi and Wang continued after a call.

The remaining two streets of 3♥ 7♦ went check-check from Wang and Khoi, and on showdown Zheng proudly flipped over K♠ 3♠ for a boat, raking in the 3,600,000-chip pot.

Tran Xuan Toan limped in from the small blind with A♣ 6♦ and Yupeng Xie raised to 650,000 out of the big blind holding 8♦ 7♣ . Toan called.

They watched the dealer put out a flop of 6♠ K♠ 2♣ , where Toan check-called a bet of 450,000 from Xie to the 6♣ turn, giving him trips. Toan checked again, then Xie bet 1,500,000. With around 2,400,000 behind, Toan put on the Hollywood act and then just called.

A 5♣ hit the river and Toan checked, Xie shoved, and Toan snap-called for his last 940,000, earning the pot with trip sixes.

Nguyen Hong Quan Eliminated in 13th Place (83,600,000)

Level 30: 60,000 / 120,000 ante: 120,000

Nguyen Hong Quan

Button Nguyen Hong Quan got all 1,600,000 of his chips into the middle, with hijack Nguyen Hien Trung looking to eliminate him and boost his already hefty stack:

Nguyen Hong Quan: A♦ Q♦

Nguyen Hien Trung: 5♠ 5♣

Quan needed to survive the flip, and the J♦ K♠ 7♠ flop looked promising for a straight draw, but the remainder of the 8♣ 2♦ runout couldn't tip the scales Quan's way and sent him home in 13th.

Sun Given a Penalty as Chan Gets a Gift

Level 29: 50,000 / 100,000 ante: 100,000

A very strange situation just played out, which left Haoran Sun with a one-round penalty.

Sun had opened to 200,000 in the hijack and Chak Hei Chan made it 400,000 on the button, leaving 30,000 behind. When it got back to Sun, he called.

On the 3♠ 8♥ A♦ flop, Sun checked and Chan bet his last 30,000. Sun folded, but the floor were called to give a ruling as there were 1,000,000 already in the pot with the dead small blind.

After some deliberation, the tournament director decided to allow the fold as Sun's cards had made their way to the middle of the table, but gave him an orbit penalty as it could be construed as collusion.

No accusations made, but the message was clear.

Yupeng Xie opened to 200,000 from middle position and Haoran Sun three-bet to 525,000 in the cutoff. Jaehong Jung was in the big blind and shoved just shy of 2,000,000, and Xie shoved behind. Sun folded.

Jaejong Jung: Q♦ T♦

Yupeng Xie: J♠ J♥

Jung had taken the aggressive route, and it cost him his tournament life as the A♣ 8♣ 4♥ J♦ 2♣ runout left him on the sidelines as Xie improved to a set.

Level 29: 50,000 / 100,000 ante: 100,000

Tran Anh Dung

Shortly after securing a crucial double to stay afloat, Tran Anh Dung got his stack (~900,000) into the middle again, this time with Le Ngoc Minh looking to take him out:

Tran Anh Dung: 9♠ 9♣

Le Ngoc Minh: A♥ Q♦

The J♠ Q♠ Q♥ flop immediately spelled trouble for Dung, who's luck has seemed to have run out.

Three players had seen a flop of 4♥ Q♠ J♣ , and with around 900,000 in the pot, Junhao Zhang bet 250,000 on the button once it checked to him. Haoran Sun was the only player to call.

Both checked the T♥ turn to the J♥ river, where Zhang shoved just under 2,000,000 when the action was on him. Sun let out a sigh, but then tossed a chip high in the air and into the pot, which signified a call.

Zhang then sheepishly flipped over A♣ T♣ for a pair of tens, but Sun had that beat as he rivered trips holding A♦ J♦ to scoop the massive pot, which sent Zhang out.

On a board of 6♥ 9♠ K♣ 7♦ , Yupeng Xie had fired 350,000 into a pot of around 700,000 from the big blind. Junhao Zhang was under the gun and called.

The river brought a Q♦ and Xie wasted no time in moving all in for 1,325,000. Zhang went into the tank and burned through three time banks before he eventually flicked in the call.

Xie then revealed a set with 6♠ 6♦ , which was best against the pair of kings that Zhang held with K♠ J♦ .

Tang Nhon Quang: A♠ 4♥

Jie Zheng: T♦ 7♠

The 8♣ 7♥ 6♥ flop put Zheng in decent contention with a pair and straight draw, then the T♣ on the turn gave him two pair. Quang failed to improve on the K♥ river, and was ultimately eliminated.

Both players checked through the 5♥ turn, onto the Q♠ river where Wang led out for 255,000. Hoang burned through a time bank before ultimately tossing in the call, to his frustration as Wang had turned a straight with his 8♣ 9♦ hole cards.

Hoang flashed the A♠ away from the table before mucking his hand.

Dismayed would be an understatement to describe Boldyrev as the dealer ran the 4♦ 4♥ 2♠ 5♣ 6♥ board out, sending him out in 26th position following the three table redraw.

Le Ngoc Minh raised to 100,000 from under the gun with only Junhao Zhang calling from the big blind.

Once the dealer fanned the 5♦ 3♣ Q♣ flop, Minh continued for 80,000, prompting a swift fold from Zhang.

In the next hand, blinds Zhang and Minh were joined by Nguyen Dang Truong, who limped from under the gun, with Zhang calling and Minh checking.

The 8♠ 2♦ 5♣ hit the felt, and Zhang got out of the way with a check-fold to Minh, who repeated his earlier action of an 80,000 post-flop bet. Truong, not so easily deterred, re-raised with a shove for the rest of his short stack. Minh instantly flicked his cards into the middle.

Sometimes, poker is a cruel, cruel game, as Himanshu Chhikara just found out.

The pot had already swollen to around 500,000 on a board of J♠ K♣ Q♦ 7♠ when Chhikara checked out of the big blind. Haoran Sun was on the button and fired 225,000, then Chhikara shovd for around 400,000. Sun had his opponent slightly covered and quickly called.

Himanshu Chhikara: A♠ A♦

Haoran Sun: Q♥ 6♦

Chhikara had the bullets and just needed to fade a queen or a six on the river to scoop a humongous pot. Sun was at risk of becoming a short stack, but instead he sprang up towards the top of the leaderboard when he made trips on the Q♠ river.

"Sorry, sorry," Sun kept repeating.

Nguyen Thi Tuyet Trinh: 4♠ 4♦

Tuan Thanh Nguyen: A♥ K♠

Trinh needed to a win a flip to stay alive, and the 8♠ 5♦ 3♣ flop got her off to a good start. A 6♥ turn added a straight draw, but it was still just an ace or a king that she needed to dodge.

That dodge was successful as the Q♥ rolled off on the river, earning Trinh some valuable chips.

Son Beomseok shoved for 155,000 from middle position and when it got to Aditya Sushant in the big blind, he took one peek at his cards and called.

Son Beomseok: A♥ 6♥

Aditya Sushant: Q♠ Q♦

Beomseok needed some help, but didn't find much to work with on the 3♠ T♠ T♣ flop. A K♠ on the turn removed one of his outs as Sushant picked up a flush draw, but that didn't matter as Beomseok drilled the A♣ on the river to earn himself a double-up.

Tu Eliminated after All-In Call Confusion

Level 20: 6,000 / 12,000 ante: 12,000

Nguyen Dang Tu got the majority of his 140,000 stack in (leaving around 20,000 behind) from under the gun and big blind Chen Hao re-raised all-in looking to take him out. However, the dealer informed both players that there had been a rule violation and that Hao could only call, leaving their hole cards face down as the flop was fanned out.

Once both players saw the 2♦ 8♠ 3♥ board, Hao stuck a 25,000 chip into the middle and Tu moved his remaining stack in, and cards went on their backs:

Nguyen Dang Tu: A♠ 9♠

Chen Hao: J♣ J♠

The remainder of the 9♦ T♣ runout did little to save Tu, who was sent out in the early stages of the final day.

Thuc Doubles with Jacks

Level 18: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Hijack Ravi Piyush opened to 16,000 when big blind Nguyen Duy Thuc three-bet to 50,000. Piyush responded by moving all of his ~240,000 stack into the middle, announcing his was all in. Thuc thought on it for a moment before committing the rest of his ~150,000 stack, and the cards were tabled:

Nguyen Duy Thuc: J♥ J♠

Ravi Piyush: T♥ T♣

Piyush was looking good for a double in the early stages of the Day 2 Kick Off event, and the Q♦ A♠ Q♣ A♥ flop and turn brought potential chop opportunities, but as the 7♦ completed the board Thuc counted out the chips, damaging his stack severely in the process.

Level 18: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Hijack Evgeny Boldyrev got his remaining 24,000 short-stack into the middle, and was called only by cutoff Le Van Hieu. The dealer instructed the players to reveal their hands:

Evgeny Boldyrev: A♦ Q♠

Le Van Hieu: 7♦ 7♣

Boldyrev simply needed to pair one of his overcards to secured the double-up and keep himself in the game, and the dealer provided just that on the 3♦ Q♣ K♦ flop.

The remainder of the T♠ 4♠ runout was inconsequential, and Van Hieu counted off the chips.
