APT Hanoi Billions 2023 Feature Events

APT Main Event: The much-anticipated APT Main Event with a significant VND 25 Billion ($1 million) guarantee will headline the event, running between from 4th to 9th December 2023, featuring four opening flights taking place between 1st to 3rd December 2023. The previous APT Main Events in Taipei 2023 and Incheon 2023 greatly exceeded their prize pool guarantees, with 1,434 and 930 entries respectively, and expectations are high for the Hanoi Billions 2023 Main Event to follow suit.

All eyes would be on Vietnam’s Dinh Duc Linh who won the APT Summer Series Hanoi 2023 Main Event Title for VND 3,401,355,000 (~$145,500). Will he defend his title, or we will have a new champion to claim the esteemed 24K Golden Lion flagship trophy?!

Mystery Bounty Hunter: Natural8’s sponsored Mystery Bounty Hunter guarantees a VND 5 Billion prize pool, featuring two starting flights commencing on Saturday, 2nd December at 11 AM and 4:15 PM (Local Time). Players will begin with a starting stack of 30,000.

At the APT Summer Series Hanoi 2023, this same event set a precedent as a record-breaking tournament which saw Singapore’s Alex Lee triumph over a 320-player field, seizing the majority of the VND 1.8 Billion (~$78K) prize pool.

APT Super High Roller: Commanding the second largest buy-in (VND 120M / ~ $5K) of the schedule, the APT Super High Roller 8 Max features an impressive VND 4 Billion in guarantee and the prestigious Series flagship trophy, the sought-after pewter lion. Will Malaysia’s Shung Er Sua secure a repeat victory and add another lion to his collection, or will a new champion emerge to claim the coveted trophy?
