The series’ Main Event which has a VND 5 Billion guarantee will be running from 14th to 19th July at the Vietnam Series of Poker (VSOP), Hanoi, Vietnam. The first three days will host the starting flights which will then be followed by Day 2, Day 3, and the final table with eight players.

Ritwik And Labroo Dominate 

Flight Day 1A wrapped up; seated on top spot with the two highest chip stacks are India’s Ritwik Khanna and Rubin Labroo! Khanna bagged and tagged his way to Day 2 with 166,700 chips (208 BB) while Labroo had the second highest chip stack of 161,700 (201 BB). Both the players have now made it to Day 2 of the event and will be in contention for the APT Summer Festival Main Event title. Incredibly both players were also active on the online felts and Labroo shipped the ITM Thursday Supersonic on Spartan Poker for ₹3,96,562 while Khanna was the runner-up in the same event for ₹2,67,000.

The day ended with 23 survivors moving on to Day 2 out of the total of 67 entries. While Khanna and Labroo from the Indian team made the cut, APT Vietnam Hanoi Loyal 2022 Main Event winner Shardul Parthasarathi did not get through.
