Choi Hun Tae Ships USOP Grand Finale 2024 Main Event, Wins VND 9.2 Billion

South Korea’s Choi Hun Tae has etched his name in poker and U Series of Poker history by shipping the USOP Grand Finale 2024 Main event. He has now taken home the iconic golden trophy and the USOP Main Event first prize of VND 9.2 Billion from the record-breaking prize pool of the Main Event, which was an eye-watering VND ~57 Billion. 

He won the trophy after a heads-up battle with runner-up Zhou Ledong of China, who took home VND 6.175 Billion. Ledong was also runner-up in the Sunday Superstack event in the same series. Choi had a fantastic run all through, dominating the chip leadership almost throughout the event. At the Final Table, he was at the top spot of the chip count, and even the heads-up play ended after just one hand.

The event was engrossing. With a buy-in of VND 35,000,000, it saw a whopping field of 1,958 entries. The guaranteed prize pool was VND 40 Billion, and the final prize pool bubbled up to VND 57,976,380,000 because of these great participation numbers. A total of 240 entrants were in the money.

The win is another example of poker players hitting it big in one fell swoop. Prior to this win, there was little information about Hun Tae’s tournament poker results. In a matter of a few days, he is now in a name to reckon with in the world of poker and one that’s added to the record books as well.

With this, the USOP Grand Finale Hai Phong 2024 Main Event is behind us, and only the Championship Event is left to be played in this series. This was USOP’s last stop of 2024 and we expect them to come back with bigger events in the 2025 season. We at Gutshot Magazine will update our readers as soon as there’s an update about USOP and other tournaments.
