The second ever Poker Dream Vietnam festival in South East Asia and first edition in Vietnam will crown a winner in the most expensive tournament of the entire stop. So far, the VND 230,000,000 (approx. $9,900) Super High Roller has reeled in 79 entries of which 44 players survived Day 1 and the late registration will close when the cards go back in the air at 1pm local time.
It is already the joint biggest field for the high-stakes competition in the luxury five-star Hoiana Hotel complex near Hoi An as it equaled the 79 entries of the inaugural Super High Roller in Kuala Lumpur earlier in 2022. Back then, Chi Zhang came out on top to lift the trophy for the winner shot and the Brit will be back in action today with an above-average stack.
At least VND 16,916,270,000 (∼$692,000) in prize money will be awarded today and the final payout information will be confirmed once the late registration and re-entry period for the event has concluded. All those jumping in at the very last minute will receive 500,000 in chips, good enough for 20 big blinds in level 13 at blinds of 10,000-20,000 and a big blind ante of 20,000.
Triton Poker co-founder Paul Phua leads the way with 2,149,000 narrowly ahead of fellow countryman Eng Soon Ewe (2,073,000) while WSOP bracelet winner Abhinav Iyer (2,026,000) follows in third place. Other notables in the overnight top ten are Hamish Crawshaw and Danny Tang.

De facto defending champion Chi Zhang returns with 1,077,000 in chips and knows what it takes to navigate the minefields in high-stakes competitions all over the world. Also still in contention are Shardul Parthasarathi, Chi Wei Lim, Wai Leong Chan, Winfred Yu, Wayne Heung, Vincent Huang, and Kartik Ved.
The levels will continue with a duration of 40 minutes each and there will be a break every two levels. A shot clock is in play which gives players 20 seconds to act preflop, 25 seconds on the flop and 30 seconds on the turn and river. Each time bank extension is worth 30 seconds in case the players need more time to think.
It is expected that the money bubble takes place on the final two tables and the action throughout the day will be broadcasted on the Poker Dream Facebook page. You can also follow all the updates right here on PokerNews, as the live reporting team will be on the floor until the very last showdown.
One player had already registered last night and another 12 joined thus far, bringing the total up to 91 entries. The T-1,000 chips will be raced off prior to the start which is expected to happen in the next few minutes.

South Korea's Sung Joo Hyun was all-in with the 
and had the best of it against the of Wai Kiat Lee. The 
flop further cemented his lead and nothing changed with the 
turn. However, Lee pulled a rabbit out of the hat with the river and had Hyun covered.
"You are a very bad man," Hyun joked with a grin on the face. The always jovial Lee replied "there was a bounty on your head bro".
The seat next to the now departed Hyun was then filled by Ferdinand Putra, who had registered at the last minute but showed up a few minutes late.

Quang Nang Nguyen check-called the 
turn and checked again the 
on the river while in the cutoff. Wayne Heung then bet 320,000 on the button and that sent Nguyen into the tank before he eventually called.
Very confidently, he rolled over the with the words flush while his bluff was caught. Nguyen won the pot with the
