The ₫25 million (∼$1,088) buy-in Main Event ran from the May 26 to the end of the festival. Overall, the Main Event attracted 777 entries over the course of its three Day 1s. That was enough to make it the biggest WPT poker tournament ever held in Vietnam.
Those 777 players were down to 96 players by the start of Day 2. Among them was the final winner Zarvan Tumboli of India. Tumboli went into the final 9 on Day 3 with a substantial chip lead which he was able to hold onto all day to become the very first WPT Prime champion.
