Flight C of the APT Hanoi Billions Main Event has surpassed expectations with a record-breaking turnout. As the clock ticks down on late registrations, the event has already seen 481 entries, edging closer to an unprecedented milestone.

Before Flight C, the Main Event was tantalizingly close to breaking the record of 1,434 entries set at APT Taipei in April, having amassed 1,418 entries from the first two flights. As Flight C nears the 500-entry threshold and with Flight D still on the horizon, the event is on track to not only set a new APT record but also to mark a historic achievement for Vietnam’s poker scene.

Among the sea of competitors, Indian players are making their mark, with notables like Paawan Bansal, Pratibha Arya, Raju Jaruplavath, and Arun Sriram still in the fray.
