The 60 billion VND guaranteed USOP Danang 2024 is running full steam in the Pullman Danang Beach Resort ballroom. More than 20 champions have been crowned over the last four days of its run. One of the key events to conclude was Event 11: Mid Week Special. Featuring a buy-in of VND 6,600,000 and an impressive VND 500,000,000 guarantee, the tournament drew in 187 (151 unique), generating a massive VND 1,088,300,000 in the final prize pool, which was finally distributed among the top 24 finishers.
The lion’s share of the prizepool eventually went to Korea’s Hwanho Choe as he emerged victorious to win the title and VND 270,000,000 (USD 10,900) in prize money. This was Choe’s second live title. He has been on fire since last December, nearly winning the APT Hanoi Billions Zodiac Classic and then earning a career first live victory at the PokerStars LIVE Manila Megastack Mystery Bounty in February.
The final table of the event hosted on March 1 had players from four nations, with a majority belonging to China. Representing India in this event was Prajit Ghambir who made it to the final table but sadly was the first player to exit the final table, finishing in 9th place for VND 28,900,000. Thereafter, eliminations were quick with four Chinese players and Piet Pape from Germany.
