In 2023, the same high-stakes contest came with a price tag of VN₫ 250 Million and the field size was bumped up to 97 entries. Malaysia had three hopes among the final four including Wei Hsiang Yeu, Chin Wei “Webster” Lim and Victor Chong but they all came up short to a legend of the international poker circuit. None other than Indonesia’s John Juanda topped it all for VN₫ 6 Billion ~USD $245,807).

Whether or not three digits will be reached in the most expensive tournament of the stop remains to be seen.
