[APT DA NANG PLAYER GUIDE](https://apt-content.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/APT_Da_Nang_Vietnam_2022_Booklet_19191d6559.pdf) | [APT DA NANG SCHEDULE](https://www.theasianpokertour.com/series/apt-da-nang-vietnam-vsop-2022) | [OFFICIAL RESULTS](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1z7bLcukNIkhoDlLv9J8ncawiCqdPc3z-/edit#gid=248589156) | [IMAGES](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mMDGu87ZBTP1Lc_iJGUeKzODdfkH1t4u) | [PLAYER LISTS](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1T0xfdpycsAzpsTQHrwSMIb4dTTR397lC)

**DA NANG, VIETNAM, December 9, 2022** – The first of the **APT Da Nang Vietnam VSOP 2022**'s marquee events – the ₫9,000,000+900,000 (~$415) **Event #1 Mystery Bounty** – is in the books, with Singapore's **Benjamin Sai** defeating a 241-strong field to claim the crown.

Playing out in the ballroom of the five-star [Risemount Premier Resort](https://risemountresort.com/en) and partnered with the [Vietnam Series of Poker](https://vietnamseriesofpoker.com/) (VSOP), just 65 Mystery Bounty hunters remained in contention at the start of Day 2, all battling for a share of the **₫2,103,930,000 (~$88,365) prize pool**.

However, none came close to Sai, who defeated the Netherland's **Joris Michl** heads-up to take the **₫334,660,000** (~$14,055) top prize, in addition to claiming four scalps for a further ₫27,200,000 in bounties. That put's the Singaporean's total haul up to ₫361,860,000 (~$15,200).

Not a bad result for a man who admittedly prefers cash games to tournaments:

"I’m a cash game player and have converted to International tournaments this year – I’ve been playing a lot and I love the APT Series. But I’m feeling hungry!" said Sai immediately after his win.

Ironically, the 31-year-old online cash grinder was not even planning to play the event.

"Truth be told, I was not supposed to play this Mystery Bounty," Sai confided in his post-win interview.

"I max late-reg’d this thing [Mystery Bounty] and lucky I did…"

While that is certainly true, Sai did not hold the monopoly on luck, with the Lady also favouring his heads-up opponent Michl. Sai might have earned the glory – and his maiden APT title – it was Michl the man to earn the most cold, hard cash.

The Dutchman won two of the three largest bounties on offer for the tournament, padding out his ₫223,120,000 runner-up score with a further ₫265,300,000 in bounties, bringing his total haul up to ₫488,420,000 (~$20,510).

A total of 25 players made the money, with the official eight-handed final table paying out as follows:

**MYSTERY BOUNTY FINAL TABLE RESULTS**
- 1st: **Benjamin Sai** (Singapore) – ₫334,660,000
- 2nd: **Joris Michl** (Netherlands) – ₫223,120,000
- 3rd: **Truong Vu Tuan Khanh** (Vietnam) – ₫155,110,000
- 4th: **Janag Battulga** (Mongolia) – ₫112,030,000
- 5th: **Grant Gardner** (United Kingdom) – ₫83,780,000
- 6th: **Le Hoai Nam** (Vietnam) – ₫64,660,000
- 7th: **Nguyen Manh Trung** (Vietnam) – ₫51,350,000
- 8th: **Chun Kit Lee** (Hong Kong) – ₫41,840,000

Notables to make the money but come up short of the final table included Day 1A front runner **Dinh Van Tien** (11th for ₫24,210,000), and Malaysia's **Raiden Kan** (14th for ₫20,180,000).

India's **Aditya Sushant** was on the hunt for his first APT title but came up short of the cash, as did fellow countrymen **Akshay Kapoor** and Day 1B front-runner **Abishek Paul**.

## Vietnam's Phan Bao Leads Final Table of Event #4 Head Hunter

Playing out concurrently with the Mystery Bounty with a slightly later start time of 1pm, the ₫8,000,000+800,000 **Event #4: Head Hunter** drew a 132-strong field (87 unique) and generated a **₫1,024,320,000 (~$ 43,020)** total prize pool – including ₫264,000,000 in bounties.

Notables in contention included APT Philippines 2022, Manila Championships Event winner **Paul Kiem**, and all three of the previously mention Indian players in the form of **Aditya Sushant**, **Akshay Kapoor** and **Abishek Paul**.

Of these, only Sushant would make the money, coming up just short of a final table appearance after running the nut flush into an opponent's jacks full to hit the rail in 14th for ₫13,340,000.

However, it was **Phan Bao** the man to top the counts, and the Vietnamese player will be returning for the official eight-handed final table with a chip lead of 279,000.

With blinds recommencing at 2,500/5,000 with a 5,000 big blind ante, that gives Bao a stack of 55BB with which to make his run at the title.

Belgium's **Kristof Segers** (226,500) will be the only other player to return with a stack of over 200k, with Japan's **Masaya Nakagawa** (197,000) rounding out the top three, with the final table as follows:

**HEAD HUNTER FINAL TABLE**
- Seat 1: **Nguyen Manh Hao** (Vietnam) – 118,000 (23BB)
- Seat 2: **Kristof Segers** (Belgium) – 226,500 (45BB)
- Seat 3: **Nguyen Van Tung** – (Vietnam) – 148,500 (29BB)
- Seat 4: **Ngo Hoang Hieu** – (Vietnam) – 115,500 (23BB)
- Seat 5: **Masaya Nakagawa** (Japan) –197,000 (39BB)
- Seat 6: **Phan Bao** (Vietnam) – 279,000 (55BB)
- Seat 7: **Yuen Ho** (China) – 166,500 (33BB)
- Seat 8: **Shuchi Chamaria** (India) – 79,000 (15BB)

A total of 22 players will make the money by the time the tournament concludes, and all payouts so far can be viewed on the [Official Results](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1z7bLcukNIkhoDlLv9J8ncawiCqdPc3z-/edit#gid=248589156) page.

## Japan's Satoshi Kuriga Goes Wire-to-Wire in Super High Roller

Wire-to-wire wins are a rare thing in sports, making **Satoshi Kuriga**'s victory in the ₫80,000,000+6,000,000 **Event #32 Super High Roller** all the more impressive.

Playing out in the ballroom of the five-star [Risemount Premier Resort](https://risemountresort.com/en), the second and final day saw the eight surviving Day 1 players joined by a further eight contenders to bring the total number of entries up to 16 (15 unique), bringing the **total prize pool up to ₫1,241,600,000 (~$52,147)**.

Kuriga returned as the start-of-day chip leader and did not take his foot off the gas, busting both of the field's other paying positions on his way to claiming his third APT title.

The key hand for the Japanese player came mid-way through the official final table, which had been reduced to six-handed. Kuriga won a monster three-way pre-flop all-in when his ace queen outflopped the UK's **Grant Gardner** and China's **Sung Keung Pang**, who were both holding ace king.

After that, Kuriga arguably had one hand on the trophy already.

After seeing off Australia's **Tu Thanh Le** in third place with the nut flush, Kuriga defeated fellow countryman **Keita Minami** heads-up to claim the title, with the tournament paying out as follows:

**SUPER HIGH ROLLER RESULTS**

**DA NANG, VIETNAM, December 15, 2022** – The **APT Da Nang Vietnam VSOP 2022 Main Event** – partnered with the [Vietnam Series of Poker](https://vietnamseriesofpoker.com/) (VSOP) – has a champion, with South Korea's Doo Sik Nam putting on a dominating final table performance to make his first live title win a memorable one.

Playing out in the ballroom of the five-star [Risemount Premier Resort](https://risemountresort.com/en), just eight players out of the 417-strong Main Event field remained in contention at the start of the fourth and final day, all looking to win their slice of the **₫11,960,100,000 (~$502,235) total prize pool**.

All remaining eight finalists were guaranteed a payout of at least ₫324,800,000 (~$13,640), but it was the **₫2,598,290,000 (~$109,128) top prize** that all were gunning for.

However, none could come close to Nam who saw off all comers, busting four out of the seven other finalists on his way to victory.

This granted the South Korean player the prestigious honor of becoming the first player in APT history to lift the **APT Da Nang Main Event** trophy, seeing off challenges from 217 unique players from 32 different countries.

Nam defeated Vietnam's **Duc Trung Vu** heads-up, coming into the confrontation with over a 3-to-1 chip lead – 7.8M in chips to Vu's to 2.4M.

While Vu gave it his best shot, he was unable to overcome this chip deficit, although the Vietnamese player went out swinging. In the final hand, Vu moved all-in over the top of a Nam open raise for the last of his chips holding ace ten offsuit. Nam made the call with king jack suited and spiked a king on the flop to lock up the win.

**DA NANG, VIETNAM, December 17, 2022** – The **APT Da Nang Vietnam VSOP 2022** – partnered with the [Vietnam Series of Poker](https://vietnamseriesofpoker.com/) (VSOP) – has another newly minted champion, with Vietnam's **Huynh Ngoc Cuong** winning the ₫6BN guaranteed ₫60,000,000+5,000,000 **Event #21 High Roller**.

Playing out in the ballroom of the five-star [Risemount Premier Resort](https://risemountresort.com/en), the third and final day of the **High Roller** saw the 14 survivors of the 136-strong feild return to action, all looking to earn their slice of the **₫7,915,200,000 (~$332,438) prize pool**.

All of the remaining players were guaranteed a payday of at least ₫130,970,000 (~$5,500), but it was the **₫2,172,700,000 (~$91,253)** top prize all were aiming for.

Cuong returned tenth in the overall pecking order, and came to the official eight-handed final table as the shortest stack.

However, a stellar performance and that all-important little bit of luck saw the Vietnamese player eliminate five of the remaining field on his way to the top of the chip counts and, subsequently the title.

The Vietnamese player defeated the UK's **Oliver Biles** to claim his maiden APT title after a brief heads-up battle. In the final hand, Biles chose to limp with pocket kings and Cuong checked his option with queen seven offsuit.

The flop fell a favorable queen-seven-nine to give the Vietnamese player a lead he would not relinquish, check-raising the flop and betting every street to close out the win.

Biles collected ₫1,448,450,000 (~$60,834) for his runner-up finish, with the final table paying out as follows:

**HIGH ROLLER FINAL TABLE RESULTS**
- 1st: **Huynh Ngoc Cuong** (Vietnam) – ₫2,172,700,000
