It has only been two months since the Grand Loyal Poker Club and Korea Mind Game Members (KMGM) produced the biggest event ever seen in Hanoi, Vietnam, and coming tomorrow, the pair will light up the capital city once again with another lucrative festival.
Running from November 28 to December 4 is the first ever Hanoi Super Series (HSS) with ten trophies on the plate highlighted by the ₫5 Billion (~$201,200) guaranteed Main Event. With the year coming to a close, it is prime time to make it special by cementing yourself as one of the first champions of this inaugural series.
The seven day festival features a guarantee for every tier amounting to a combined total of ₫10 Billion. As added incentive, players will be glad to hear that there is no tax on winnings.
