VPT Championship II Bigger And More Explosive Feat. ₫50 Billion In Guarantees

Back in April, the Vietnam Poker Tour staged its first-ever solo festival, and it was nothing short of a smasher. Anchored by its core values of transparency, legality, and strict compliance with government regulations, the series revitalized the country’s live tournament scene with a safe, world-class playing field that drew 683 players from 35 countries for over 4,000 entries.

The resounding success not only crushed all guarantees but also firmly established VPT as a trusted brand in Asia’s competitive poker landscape. And as the dust settled, one question echoed: When is the next one?

The answer has finally arrived. Time to mark your calendars. The Vietnam Poker Tour makes its highly anticipated return this October 31 to November 10 with VPT Championship II taking place back at Corona Resort in the gorgeous island of Phu Quoc, Vietnam.
