The festival opened with 37 event trophies on the mantle, and during the past three days several players have already snatched one up such as Quan Trung Nguyen (Vietnam), Nobuaki Sasaki (Japan), Min Ho Cho (Korea), and Worawat Kiatpnglap (Thailand).Ahmed Ibrahim (Morocco) emerged as the first player to claim two trophies.

Today marks the first day of the Main Event which features a ₫10 Billion (~US$ 425,350) guarantee. This is an ambitious offering seeing that last year, the event paid out just over ₫5.4 Billion. Good news to locals, with the festival now taking place at the Sapphire Conference Hall (and not inside the casino), everyone is welcome to attend. With a full room witnessed the past few days, a massive turnout is expected. Buy in is ₫33,000,000 (~US$ 1,400).
