The fourth and final Flight of the ₫30,000,000 + 3,000,000 APT Main Event saw 60 entrants (48 unique) battle it out for a place on Day 2. A total of 30 players made it through Flight D to join the 179 survivors from the first three Flights. This gives us a provisional total of 209 players that have progressed. This number can, and most probably will, still grow as players can register before Day 2 begins.
After ten 30-minute levels, it was Vietnam's own Duy Anh Nguyen who finished top of the Flight by bagging up a stack worth 252,000 chips. Nguyen had earlier knocked out Indian player Ritwik Khanna when his flopped straight was too good for the top pair of Khanna.
South Korean player Sungkyu Jeon takes through 233,300 chips into Day 2 and will join fellow South Koreans Wanghee Lee and Seok Hyeon Park in the top ten stacks. Jeon won a huge pot against Australia's Seyed Javad Sedigh when he got three streets of value with pocket queens against the pocket fives of Sedigh. That pot propelled him towards the top of the leaderboard where he would remain for the rest of the Flight.
Joshua Curtus Mccully, who won a huge pot at the end of the night, finished the Flight in third and brings through 231,400 chips into Day 2. In the last hand dealt to the players, Mccully flopped bottom set and got all the money in against Huynh Ngoc Cuong who couldn't fold pocket queens.
Dinh Tien Thanh
Dinh Tien Thanh also brings a healthy stack into Day 2 as he bagged 125,300. Thanh held an above-average stack throughout most of the Flight and will look to maintain that over the course of Day 2.
Russian player Viktor Zhuchkov had an eventful day with his stack yo-yoing up and down until he finally bagged 61,200. Zhuchkov doubled up late when he turned the nut flush against the top pair of Zou Zhi Guang.
Other notables to make it through were Motoyoshi Okamura with 110,400, Roman Hrabec with 88,400, and Australian professional Dylan Wayne Foster with 48,000.
