**HANOI, VIETNAM, February 5, 2023** – The **APT Hanoi Vietnam VSOP 2023** – partnered with the [Vietnam Series of Poker](https://vietnamseriesofpoker.com/) (VSOP) and sponsored by [Natural8](https://www.natural8.com/
) – has the second of its marquee event champions, with the Philippines' **Mike Takayama** going wire-to-wire to win the inaugural **Superstar Invitational**.

Takayama is no stranger to success at the tournament tables, with this victory granting the Filipino professional his 16th APT title. This impressive list of APT accolades include two main event titles and six high roller titles, and his career tournament winnings now sit at over $2.48 million.

Just eight of the initial 46-strong field returned to action for the second and final day. Takayama came in with a chip lead he would not relinquish to claim the **₫1,457,080,000 (~$62,654) top prize** after all eight finalists opted for a bubble saver deal, meaning seven of them made the money.

That left Vietnam's **Duc Anh Nguyen** the only remaining finalist to depart empty-handed, but he would not get lonely on the rail.

Takayama was an unstoppable force at the final table, gunning down six out of his seven remaining opponents in quick succession to give Nguyen some company, with the tournament wrapped up after four 40-minute levels.

While Takayama's heads-up opponent – Vietnam's **Julien Tran** – put up a valiant effort, the Filipino players' mountainous 3-to-1 chip lead proved too steep of an obstacle to surmount.

Tran took home ₫998,570,000 (~$42,938) for his runner-up finish, with seven players in total cashing for a share of the **₫4,462,000,000 (~$191,866) prize pool**, with the final table paying out as follows:

By the time the field was thinned down to the official eight-handed final table Vietnam's **Do Duc Hieu** had climbed into the chip lead, with Duc dropping down to fifth in the overall pecking order, coming in with a stack of 1.6 million – the equivalent of nine big blinds.

Russia's **Artem Utevskii** was the first of the final table casualties, his ace-queen offsuit outdrawn by Erquiaga's king-queen suited on the fifth hand played.

The short-stacked **Airidas Stazys** became the next of the paying casualties two hands later, falling in a battle of the blinds against Hieu after the latter hit a double gutshot draw on the river holding king-five to crack Stazys' eight-seven offsuit flopped pair of sevens.

Duc climbed up to fourth in the counts on the eleventh hand played; the Vietnamese player doubling up through Russia's **German Bukharov** in a blind-on-blind confrontation.

The two got all the chips in pre-flop holding ace-five offsuit and ace-deuce suited respectively, with Duc running out four to a straight to leave Bukharov on life support with a single big blind.

Despite earning a double-up through Duc three hands later, the Vietnamese player administered the coup de grace the following hand; Bukharov got his last five big blinds in with ace-four offsuit, and Duc woke up with aces to bring the field down to five.

#### Short-handed

The short-stacked **Evgenii Chernyi** departed the hand after, his pre-flop all-in with queen-ten offsuit falling afoul of Duc's ace-king offsuit. Chernyi hit the rail in fifth and Duc climbed into the chip lead.

**Do Duc Hieu** went from second in the counts to bottom the very next hand. Hieu opened the action with ace-ten offsuit and called Erquiaga's all-in shove, with the latter – holding pocket fives – flopping a full house to seize the chip lead.

Hieu called the last of his stack off from the big blind with seven-six offsuit the following hand after a Tumboli raise, with the latter's ace-ten enough to take play three-handed.

After the ICM deal and Erquiaga's departure, that left two, with Duc holding a lead he would not relinquish – 6.4 million in chips to Tomboli's 4.1 million.

#### Heads-up

The heads-up confrontation lasted five hands, with Duc winning all but one of them.

Tomboli won the first hand with a pre-flop three-bet all-in and Duc claimed the second with a pre-flop button raise.

The third hand played saw Tomboli drop to 1.3 million after getting a nine-high bluff picked off by Duc's bottom pair.

Duc won the fourth hand with a pre-flop raise, and the fifth hand of heads-up would be the last of the tournament.

Tomboli moved all-in pre-flop from the small blind with queen-jack offsuit for his last five big blinds, and Duc called with ten-eight offsuit.

The final board ran out 7♠–7♥–10♦–9♠–10♥ to grant the Vietnamese player the win.

## Japan's Satoshi Kuriga Goes Wire-to-Wire in Super High Roller

Wire-to-wire wins are a rare thing in sports, making **Satoshi Kuriga**'s victory in the ₫80,000,000+6,000,000 **Event #32 Super High Roller** all the more impressive.

Playing out in the ballroom of the five-star [Risemount Premier Resort](https://risemountresort.com/en), the second and final day saw the eight surviving Day 1 players joined by a further eight contenders to bring the total number of entries up to 16 (15 unique), bringing the **total prize pool up to ₫1,241,600,000 (~$52,147)**.

Kuriga returned as the start-of-day chip leader and did not take his foot off the gas, busting both of the field's other paying positions on his way to claiming his third APT title.

The key hand for the Japanese player came mid-way through the official final table, which had been reduced to six-handed. Kuriga won a monster three-way pre-flop all-in when his ace queen outflopped the UK's **Grant Gardner** and China's **Sung Keung Pang**, who were both holding ace king.

After that, Kuriga arguably had one hand on the trophy already.

After seeing off Australia's **Tu Thanh Le** in third place with the nut flush, Kuriga defeated fellow countryman **Keita Minami** heads-up to claim the title, with the tournament paying out as follows:

**SUPER HIGH ROLLER RESULTS**

Proving his deep runs in the [Mystery Bounty](https://www.theasianpokertour.com/news/singapore-s-benjamin-sai-crowned-mystery-bounty-champion-head-hunter-attracts-132-runners-vietnam-s-phan-bao-leads) and [Main Event](https://www.theasianpokertour.com/news/south-korea-s-doo-sik-nam-crowned-inaugural-apt-da-nang-main-event-champion-winning-2-59-bn-109-k-paul-kiem-tops-day-1-b-of-high-roller) were no fluke, Tien and Russia's **Aleksei Varashev** found themselves the last players standing.

The pair then cut a deal that saw the duo split the cash for first and second place, with both receiving payouts of **₫466,355,000 (~$19,586)**, with chip leader Tien awarded the trophy.
