Now the bar has been raised as the guarantee is at US$600,000 and is expected to draw the best from the region and international grinders hoping to etch their name in the annals of the fledgling festival.

Over at (Event #3) the Deepstack tournament, another Korean in Wong Jungsun outlasted Quynh in their heads up battle for the crown when his 8♠ 7♠ outkicked his Vietnamese opponent’s 7♥ 5♥ holdings on a board of A♣ 7♦ 6♦ 9♠ 4♦ for the title and the US$1,310 top prize.
