USOP HaLong Series II: Play Big, Stay Longer, Experience More

The USOP HaLong Series returns to the InterContinental HaLong Bay Resort from 27 August to 9 September 2026, bringing players a packed festival of more than 90 events, a VND 120 billion total guaranteed prize pool and a VND 30 billion guaranteed Main Event. Backed by USOP’s player hospitality, professional tournament operations and a five-star venue, the series is shaping up to be one of the standout poker destinations of the year.

Massive Guarantees Across the Board

Every poker series creates champions, but only the players who show up get the chance to become part of the story. With VND 120 billion in total guarantees, a VND 30 billion Main Event GTD, more than 90 events, exclusive player perks and the backdrop of HaLong Bay, the next USOP chapter is ready to be written.

Early Bird Packages Now Available

Players chasing extra value can lock in one of two Early Bird Packages (EBP) ahead of the series: the Main Event EBP or the High Roller EBP, both built to bundle tournament entries with hotel savings. Both packages are strictly limited to the first 30 purchases, so players are encouraged to secure their spot early before they sell out.

Main Event Early Bird Package

Every Main Event package comes with Main Event Bubble Protection, applicable across all Day 1 flights and limited to one claim per player.

High Roller Early Bird Package

All EBP holders receive free airport pick-up, complimentary breakfast for two and a dedicated VIP check-in line at the venue.

Unmissable Deals

USOP HaLong is also built to deliver more value away from the tables. Players can stay at A’La Carte HaLong Bay Hotel, located directly opposite the tournament venue and just a five-minute walk from the InterContinental, with rooms available from as little as USD 48. The Ballroom food menu has also had its prices reduced, making it easier and cheaper to eat well throughout the series.

There are further incentives to take a seat this year. Following Vietnam’s tax changes effective 1 July 2026, the tax-free threshold on prize winnings has doubled, rising from the first VND 10 million to VND 20 million, letting eligible players keep more of their winnings. Selected High Roller events will also offer an exclusive 50% Fee Back to the first 16 eligible players who complete their buy-in and have chips in play before the first hand is dealt.

Main Event Free Limited Edition Hoodie

Main Event players can also walk away with a piece of USOP history. The first 80 eligible players across each of Flights A, B, C and D who buy in and have their chips in play before the end of Level 1 will receive a free limited edition USOP hoodie.

The process is simple:

• Step 1: Buy in at Main Event Level 1
• Step 2: Take your seat before the end of Level 1
• Step 3: Claim your hoodie at the merchandise booth

The hoodie promotion applies to Main Event Flights A, B, C and D only, and is available strictly on a first-come, first-served basis.
