17:20: Nguyen Dac Long wins flip against Kyle Bao Diep
Level 24: 20,000/40,000 – ante 40,000

Checked to Ha, he sent out a 100K bet and was answered by a check-raise to 230K by Nguyen Van Trung. Ha made the call, and the turn revealed 10h. Nguyen checked, and Ha continued with an all-in for 600K. Nguyen used up all his time banks before making the fold and showing AhJc for top pair. Gutsy Ha returned the favor and showed 5d6d, winning the pot.


16:11: Ta Son Tung busts Nguyen Huu Thanh Tung with bottom pair
Level 22: 15,000/25,000 – ante 25,000

DAC 2652 scaled

Hyper agressive Ta Son Tung delivered a painful elimination for Nguyen Huu Thanh Tung right on Table 28. On a board of 8s9c4c3s, Ta moved all-in as to which Nguyen called off for the rest of his chips with Qs7s. Ta Son Tung showed bottom pair 3c5s as Nguyen only had a Queen-high flush draw.

Level 21: 10,000/20,000 – ante 20,000

15:00: Sandeep Kumar Sharma eliminated in 27th
Level 21: 10,000/20,000 – ante 20,000

With blinds increasing, India’s Sandeep Kumar Sharma was left to go with pocket Deuces  after the last three tables was formed. However, he found no escape as Tuan Tien Hai was sitting with AhJs on the big blind. Tuan made the less than 10BB call and instantly flopped a Jack to eliminate Sandeep.


14:50: Nhat Nguyen on a roll
Level 20: 10,000/15,000 – ante 15,000

DAC 2616 scaled

After doubling up with QsJh against pocket Sevens, Nhat’s stack continued its ascend for another double up following a cooler hand. Waking up to AhAc on the big blind against chip leader Ta Son Tung, the flop Ad5c3d couldn’t stop all the chips from going in the middle with Ta holding As3s. Turn came a 3c yet still did not change the hand’s results. Nhat claimed the pot and is now sitting with slightly over 900K.

Korea’s Cho Sun Il busted right before the day’s second break after slamming right into big stacked Ha’s KdKh. Il revealed QsJs after Ha quickly made the call. The board opened 9hKc3s6d8h and sent Il out in 41st place. Ha’s chip count rose to over 1M in chips making him the second chip leader as of writing.


13:16: Tran Huy Tien doubles up but quickly loses a cooler spot
Level 18: 5,000/10,000 – ante 10,000

Tran Huy Tien’s 4s4c might have survived a flip against current chip leader Ha Van Thien’s AcJh but quickly lost the chips to USA’s Trent Fechter. Having limped from the small blind, Fechter fired an all-in with Ac10d and left Tran making the call with 8s8c. The board however, showed 9d4d6sAh3h, giving Fechter the win.

DAC 2597 scaled

On a blind vs blind battle, Ha raised with Jh4c preflop following a limp from the small blind. Flop came 4dKsJd with Ha as the agressor continuing through two barrels as the turn came 6s. The river revealed Kh and Ha check-called his opponent’s 120K bet after using several time banks. Ha showed Jh4c, good enough to beat the player’s AsQs.


12:10: Tuan Tien Hai goes through massive swings
Level 17: 4,000/8,000 – ante 8,000

DAC 2587 scaled

Local runner Tuan Tien Hai appears to be always in the middle of the action, having taken a chunk off of Nguyen Ngoc Dai and busting him out shorty after. On a flop of 6h5c7c, Tuan check-jammed with 7h7s against Nguyen’s bet from the button. Nguyen called behind with 4d4s but was unable to catch a straight. With a short stack, Nguyen crashed again into Tuan a few hands later for a final exit.

With the recovery, Tuan again lost a 500K pot after getting it all-in pre flop with AdQd against Nguyen Huu Thanh Tung’s better AsKh.

11:32: Tran An Khang doubles off of Yu Je Nam
Level 16: 3,000/6,000 – ante 6,000

Crazy action on Table 24! A bloated 80k pot on the flop of 8cAcJd, Khang moved all-in for his remaining 142K in chips against Yu’s continuation bet. Yu snap-called with 8d5h up against Khang’s KcQc for a race. The runout 6hKh favored Khang for a full double, leaving Yu with less than 15 big blinds to continue.

A massive pot saw Kartik Ved with an open from the button and Korea’s Kim Beab Su answering with a three-bet to 320 on the big blind. Ved makes the call and the two head on to a flop of 5hJd5s. Kim fires a 320K bet, called by Ved. Turn came a Qd and Kim check-called a bet of 425K. The river drew a blank 3s and Kim check-called Ved’s 1.6M jam. Ved took down the humongous pot showing trip fives and Kim with only Ace-high.

Level 25: 30,000/60,000 – ante 60,000

With Kartik Ved opening to 120, both players defended the blinds to make it a three-way pot on the flop Js5c8d. Nguyen Vu Huy on the small blind, open shoved 1.3M with Abhinav Iyer on the big blind reshoving his entire stack. Nguyen showed 7h9h for a straight draw and Iyer with Jd5d for two pair.
