Coming off an impressive opener in Taiwan, U Series of Poker (USOP) heads to the gorgeous coastal city of Danang, Vietnam, the scene of its richest festival in 2023. The ambitious young brand has set its goals higher than ever, guaranteeing VN₫ 60,000,000,000 (~USD 2.45 Million). All the action takes place from March 19 to April 1, 2024 at Pullman Danang Beach Resort.
Emerging into the Asian live scene last year, USOP quickly captured attention with its spirited vibe, cool merchandise, and juicy prize pools. By year’s end, its popularity was through the roof, amassing a brand record high VN₫ 163,438,680,00 (~USD 6.74 Million) in Danang, making it the third richest festival by an Asian regional brand.
For those that have yet to visit Danang, its stunning coastline, clear waters, and cool weather provides the perfect balance of outdoor relaxation and indoor poker rush. As one of the most popular local tourist destinations, players will not only experience the thrill of the USOP games but also the charm of this quaint coastal city. March is also one of the best times of year to visit. In terms of accommodations, there are a multitude of hotel choices from extremely affordable to high-end. Make sure to get the ocean view to catch the gorgeous sunrises.
In just one month’s time, Danang will be the place to be. Once again, USOP will light up the beach, offering an extensive 71-game lineup over two weeks of play. This is the brand’s largest festival to date. In partnership with Crown Poker Club Hanoi and Lucky Poker, players can expect all the USOP crowd favorites with buy ins covering a wide range from VN₫ 3,000,000 (~USD 123) to a jaw-dropping VN₫ 250,000,000 (~USD 10,288).
