The Grand Loyal Championship Experience

The poker action at Grand Loyal is characterized by its high-caliber fields and elite tournament standards. During major events like the Grand Loyal Poker Championship III (held in Jan 2026), the venue draws top professional players from over 40 countries, featuring formats such as No-Limit Hold’em, Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO-5), and Mystery Bounties. The club is particularly known for its “swish” atmosphere—brightly lit, spacious, and well-furnished rooms that rival the best permanent poker rooms in Asia.

Players at Grand Loyal benefit from a comprehensive amenity package. The 4th-floor all-day dining and the on-site bar provide high-quality culinary options, while the large-screen sports lounge allows players to relax between flights. While daily tournaments are available with buy-ins ranging from 240,000 VND to 2.4M VND, the club’s reputation rests on its multi-billion VND prize pool festivals that anchor the Hanoi poker calendar.
