15:45: Break time, 465 entries
Level 7: 400-800 ante 800

The Main Event is on the second break of the day. 465 entries so far with three rounds left of late registration. The magic number is 548 entries in order to surpass the brand’s Main Event record prize pool of VN₫ 34.8 Billion.

Additionally, in November 2023, the first USOP Danang drew 576 entries at Main Event Day 1C. Breaking that seems like a very high possibility.
