U Series of Poker (USOP) is all set to host its latest event of the year, USOP Hai Phong 2024. The event takes place from the 11th to the 23rd of September at Dream Dragon Resort in Hai Phong, Vietnam. These plans could have suffered due to Vietnam being hit by Typhoon Yagi, the latter causing all sorts of ruckus including floods, landslides, power outages across the country, and more.
However, the USOP team is working tirelessly to ensure the event is on track, while prioritising the safety and well-being of the players. The company today announced via a post on its social media that they’re continuously monitoring local conditions and the series will proceed as scheduled. While the typhoon itself has subsided, some locations around the country are still reeling from the devastation. The company revealed that while there was electricity at the Dream Dragon Resort, internet connectivity and air conditioning were still being worked on.
USOP Hai Phong 2024 has guaranteed prize pools of VND 60 Billion through the series. Some of the highlight events to look forward to include the Main Event, Championship Event, High Roller Championship Event, Super High Roller, and many others.
The USOP Danang Main Event happened from 19th March to 1st April 2024. It took place at the Pullman Danang Beach Resort in Vietnam and comprised 71 events. The Main Event saw Tse Ian Lee emerge as its winner, who took home a payout of VND 7,120,000,000, wherein a total of 213 players finished in the money. USOP Taiwan 2024’s Main Event saw Chenyu Hung take home TWD 5,383,700, leading a list of 139 players in the money.
With so many poker players cashing out commendable amounts, there’s every chance that USOP will become one of the most exciting prospects for Asian and even Indian poker players. The Asian poker scene has always had a number of exciting series, and this is another one that would add to the glitz and glamour of the poker scene.

Typhoon Yagi has been the most devastating natural calamity to hit Vietnam this year and has resulted in the death of at least 50 people. The destruction has also affected neighbouring countries like China and the Philippines. The Vietnamese government has revealed earlier that the typhoon has affected power supplies and telecommunications in various parts of the country, including Quang Ninh and Hai Phong.
The event managers have taken every possible step to ensure that there’s complete transparency about whatever is happening with the USOP Hai Phong series. Amidst all the destruction, the Vietnamese officials are working hard to restore some sense of normalcy. The government is sure to take ample precautions in the aftermath of the natural disaster.
