Beat the Field in Hanoi on Saturday. Phnom Penh Awaits Two Days Later.
HANOI, Vietnam — Win the RPT Championship II Main Event, and you don't go home. You go to Phnom Penh.
Through a partnership with Gods of Poker, the Main Event champion walks away with a USD 3,000 package to GOP Phnom Penh 2026: The Coiled Path — a USD 1,540 Main Event seat plus USD 1,460 in travel cash. The GOP field opens March 30, two days after RPT crowns its champion on March 28.
The Main Event itself runs March 24–28 at the Royal Poker Club, 2nd Floor, 195 Kham Thien Building, Hanoi. Buy-in is VND 22,000,000 (USD 845) with a VND 15,000,000,000 (USD 575,000) guarantee. Five Day 1 flights are spread across Tuesday through Thursday, with Day 2 consolidating the survivors on Friday and the final table playing out Saturday.
Last Year Proved the Model Works
RPT Championship I drew 1,118 entries and built a VND 16,000,000,000 prize pool. Champion Nguyen Van Dong An took the title, claimed the GOP package, and flew out to compete at Eden Awakens in Jeju, South Korea. The concept wasn't theoretical. It played out exactly as designed.
This year the stakes are higher across the board. RPT Championship II runs March 19–30, spans 65 events, and is backed by a VND 55,000,000,000 series guarantee at the same Royal Poker Club venue.
Fine Print Worth Reading
The GOP seat is locked to GOP Phnom Penh 2026 — no deferrals, no redirecting it to another stop. Transfers are allowed but need GOP's sign-off beforehand and are final once confirmed. The full package is handed over at check-in when the player officially registers in Cambodia.
For anyone already planning to play both stops, the two buy-ins alone run past USD 2,385. One deep run in Hanoi covers both.
Day 1A is Tuesday, March 24.
