The time has come! The inaugural M88PokerAsia Vietnam Poker Cup (VPC1) – Vietnam’s first truly homegrown poker festival – gets underway in the impressive Ho Tram Poker Room this weekend in what shapes as a historic moment for tournament poker in Asia.
The luxurious Ho Tram Poker Room will host the VPC’s opening Welcome to VPC event from 20:00 tonight before the highly anticipated US$550 VPC Main Event kicks off at 14:00 tomorrow.
The M88PokerAsia Vietnam Poker Cup represents a unique opportunity for one player to stamp their name in the history books as the very first winner of the event, which is set to become a regular and increasingly popular tournament on the Asian poker calendar.
Headlining VPC1 will be none other than seven-time WSOP bracelet winner and Vietnamese-born poker great Men “The Master” Nguyen, while Malaysia’s number one online tournament player and M88PokerAsia sponsored pro Sam Nee will also be gunning for a historic win.
Adding to the lure of VPC1 is its location at the 5 star Ho Tram Resort Casino which has quickly built a reputation for the incredible support it provides to the poker events it hosts as well as its luxurious surrounds. However, make sure you get in quick if you’re planning on heading down this weekend – we’re reliably told just seven hotel rooms remain!
Ho Tram Resort Casino’s five star hotel, The Grand, is offering a deeply discounted poker player rate of just US$119 per night (US$139 per night with international five star buffet breakfast) with both rates including free WiFi internet access throughout the entire Ho Tram Resort Casino complex.
