Deepankur Gupta Ships Vietnam Open

After a long and tough grind, we finally have a winner in Indian poker pro, Deepankur Gupta. The title holder entered the heads-up session with a 2:1 chip lead and dominated throughout the last leg of the tournament. Gupta ultimately took down the marquee title and made his fans and followers proud. The Indian pro is the first player from the country to register a victory in this maiden live poker series hosted by Royal Poker Club.  

Final Hand Of Heads-Up

In the deciding hand of the VIPT Hanoi 2024 Vietnam Open, both players were all-in. The Indian was still ahead in chip counts but credit must be given to the Vietnamese player who managed to close much of the chip stack gap. 

Preflop action had the Vietnam national 3-bet to 1.8 Million chips; Gupta thought for a few seconds and pushed all his chips in the middle. Sang made the call with 13 Million chips against his rival’s 15 Million. 

It was an AKo (Gupta) vs A9s (Sang) hand. The board presented 4s Kc Qc 7h Ad. It was game over for the Vietnamese player and the Indian emerged victorious after a rigorous day at work.
