Opening day at the inaugural WPTDeepStacks Hanoi engaged the crowd with two events running at host venue Crown Poker Club. The Warm Up Event was the most sought after with 89 entries while the Deepstack Turbo closed with Tạ Khánh Linh locking up the win. 

Last night, two players joined the winners club, Nguyễn Quang Huy for his victory at the All Bankrolls and Nguyễn Chiến Hữu who bulldozed through the competition at the Bounty Event. Taking a look at the Player of the Series race, Warm Up Event champion Phạm Ngọc Quốc Bảo maintained the top spot. 

It was a marathon at the inaugural WPTDeepStacks Hanoi as 90 players thundered in to host venue Crown Poker Club for Day 2 of the Main Event. After ten and a half levels of intense competition, the race ended with the final 9 players determined. Vietnam’s Lý Đắc Dũng bagged 2,630,000 (65 bb) to earn the leader’s status.

Another packed house at the inaugural WPTDeepStacks Hanoi as everyone came out to take part in the last two starting heats of the highlighted Main Event. Well known local and international players were among the attendees such as Cao Ngoc Anh, Đinh Xuân Dinh, Nguyễn Hoàng Bách, William Kang, Andre Lettau, and Warm Up Event champion Pham Ngoc Quoc Bao. 

The sound of chips shuffling was heard all through the day as another set of games played out at the inaugural WPTDeepStacks Hanoi. Bringing everyone in was the featured VNđ 4 billion (~US$ 173,500) guaranteed Main Event with Day 1B up on deck. After nine rounds of late registration, 86 entered (67 uniques, 19 re-entries), and by bagging time, only 15 remained.

Three weeks ago, the World Poker Tour revealed its return to Vietnam for its first live event in the country since 2019. The much awaited event is the tour’s premier mid major WPTDeepStacks festival, slated to run in mid April 2021 at the capital city of Hanoi.

After a year and a half long wait, the World Poker Tour is finally back in Vietnam! Starting today, host venue Crown Poker Club will welcome in players to the tour’s premier mid-major WPTDeepStacks festival. While this is the brand’s fourth visit to the country, it will be its first festival in the capital city of Hanoi. 

On Day 2 three happy players were lifting trophies off the awards shelf. At the Warm Up Event, Phạm Ngọc Quốc Bảo was recognized as champion after a four way deal, Nguyễn Gia Trung took down the Single Day High Roller, and Trần Đức Toàn came out victorious at the Superstack. 

The first ever WPTDeepStacks Hanoi is officially in the books! The ten day series took place from April 16 to 25 at the Crown Poker Club. Given the challenges brought on by the global health crisis, it drew a substantial 1,410 entries across thirteen events and amassed an overall grand prize pool of VNđ 17,866,042,000 (~US$ 774,960). 

The return of World Poker Tour to Australia isn’t a surprise to many with its 2019 debut in the country well met with success. Held in The Star Gold Coast, the inaugural WPT Australia exceeded expectations having garnered more than 3,000 entries across its 10-day event schedule. 

The inaugural World Poker Tour event in Australia was a huge success back in September 2019 so there has been much anticipation about WPTDeepStacks Gold Coast, an 11 day poker festival which gets underway tomorrow at the Star Gold Coast.

WPTDeepStacks Gold Coast was big news in the mainstream media on Friday after a Media Event at The Star Gold Coast featured Shane Warne and his son Jackson, Rob Campbell and WPT’s own Lynn Gilmartin, to officially launch the event.

On Sunday Evening the AUD750 Opening Event found a Champion. Idris Hassan took it down for AUD65k plus the striking surfboard trophy. The Event was a great success with 492 total Entries. Parallel Ehsan Amiri took down the $2k One-Day-Event for AUD 68,988.

Players arrived in droves Monday at The Star Gold Coast to take a shot at the most affordable Holdem event of the DeepStacks Series, the $330 NLH Freezeout. A new venue record was set for a Single Day Freezeout and it was time for the Ladies to shine with Lily Sotsavanh triumphing over 300 other players!

The $1,500 WPTDeepStacks Gold Coast is only days away and one of Australia’s best-known athletes will be turning from the cricket oval to the poker felt. Legendary cricketer Shane Warne (pictured) will be jumping in the action, with the series running May 27-31 at Star Gold Coast.

Bounty Events are always popular but no-one expected The Star Gold Coast to set a new mark of 402 entries for a Single Start tournament in the WPTDeepStacks $440 Big Bounty Event and the hugely popular Surfboard Trophy will be heading back to Perth in the hands of Dave Beckhaus.

Day 6 at the inaugural WPTDeepStacks Hanoi was the start of the series headliner Main Event with VNđ 4 billion (~US$ 173,500) guaranteed in tow. 19 players found their way to the felt with 3 re-entering for a total of 22 entries. After 15 rounds of scheduled play, only five players remained. They will have a three day break before returning for Day 2.

The 2021 WPT DeepStacks Gold Coast is now the largest WPT main event field in Asia-Pacific history, bettering the 898 players that took their seats at WPT National China in 2014. It is also largest prize pool for a tournament at The Star Gold Coast at $1,502,550, beating the $1,480,500 prizepool from WPT Australia in 2019.

Twenty-four hours after 340 players hit the felt in Day 1A, another 330 tried their luck on Friday for Day 1B. Harry Basle (529,000) and Marcel Zapantzis (525,000) have build up the biggest stacks and are just a little behind 1A's chip leader Hussein Hassan (533,000). Event 7 results also in this article.

Day 1A of the inaugural WPTDeepstacks Gold Coast Main Event at The Star Gold Coast has come to a close with Hussein Hassan finishing top of the chip counts with a massive 533,000.
