U Series of Poker has grown to be a formidable brand in the live poker industry across Asia. By 2023, USOP had held several live poker events across the continent, including in Taiwan, Hanoi, and Danang. Its upcoming event is USOP Hai Phong 2024. The Main Event of this USOP series has etched a space in the minds of poker players because of its massive guaranteed prize pool.
The series’ host city, Hai Phong, was one of the many cities that bore the brunt of Typhoon Yagi. Still, the good news for poker players is that the organisers went ahead with the event, though some precautionary measures were brought into effect. The USOP team has been working round the clock to ensure that the live poker event takes place effortlessly and without any untoward incidents.
USOP Hai Phong 2024 has a total guaranteed prize pool of VND 60 Billion. Some highlight events include the Main Event, Championship Event, High Roller Championship Event, and Super High Roller. The series takes place at the Dream Dragon Resort in Vietnam. The series has a mix of satellite and live tournaments, including a charity event. On this page, we’ll cover all the winners of this series in Hai Phong.
