Will Hon Cheong Lee Keep His Lead?

Hong Kong’s Hon Cheong Lee was the chip lead at the end of Day 1. All eyes will be on Lee to see if he keeps the pressure on or succumbs to competition. 

This much awaited event generated a final prize pool of VND 16,947,840,000 (~$697,750). And top 23 players will be paid. The winner will receive a pay cheque of VND 3,940,430,000 (~$162,225) from the magnificent prize pool.

Japanese player Nozomu Shimizu had a good run on Day 1 and will look to continue the same on Day 2 as well. He had a runner-up finish at APT Incheon 2023 Super High Roller and will definitely hope to lock the trophy in his name in the current tournament.
