WPTC Series Opener: Day 1A

Light turnout at the WPTC Series Opener with only 51 taking to the felt. Although that’s a far cry from the 313 entries needed to breach the ₫2,500,000,000 (~$183,850) guaranteed prize pool, there are still two starters yet to play out. For those jumping in those heats, the player to catch is USA’s Trent Fechter who bagged the biggest stack at Day 1A.

Vietnam’s Truong Xuan Dinh became the first player to lift one of the custom designed Crown Poker Club trophies after besting the 25-entry field of the Deepstack NLH. Pretty good day for the champ who earned the lion’s share of the ₫72,000,000 (~$2,900) prize pool. Dinh turned his lowly ₫3,400,000 (~$137) buy in into a ₫36,000,000 (~~$1,450) payday. On the flip side, falling the hardest on the bubble was Vietnam’s Vinh Huu Nguyen whose AdQd was outdrawn by Jh10d with a Ten finding the river.
