RPT Championship II Main Event Champion Heads to GOP Phnom Penh 2026

The spotlight shines on the VND 22 Million buy-in Main Event at RPT Championship II, backed by a formidable VND 15 Billion guarantee — and once again, the reward extends far beyond the prize pool.

The road to the title begins on March 24, with five starting flights on schedule, giving players multiple opportunities to build a stack and secure their place in Day 2. Over several days of competitive play, the field will narrow toward a single champion — one who won’t just claim a trophy, but a ticket to the next stage.

GOP X RPT Championship II Main Event 

• Date/s: March 24–28, 2026
• Buy-in: VND 22,000,000 (~USD 845)
• Guarantee: VND 15,000,000,000 (~USD 575,000)
• Day 1A: Tuesday, March 24
• Day 1B: Wednesday, March 25
• Day 1C Turbo: Wednesday, March 25
• Day 1D: Thursday, March 26
• Day 1E Turbo: Thursday, March 26
• Day 2: Friday, March 27
• Final Day: Saturday, March 28

When the final hand is dealt on the 28th, the winner will lift two trophies, marking both prestige and progression, because this victory does not end in Hanoi.

Through its official partnership with Gods of Poker, the RPT Main Event champion will receive a GOP Main Event Package valued at USD 3,000 to GOP Phnom Penh 2026: The Coiled Path, creating a direct bridge between two major stops on the Asian poker calendar.

The timing is seamless. The GOP Phnom Penh Main Event begins on March 30, just two days after RPT concludes.

The champion’s package includes:

• 1 GOP Phnom Penh Main Event Seat valued at USD 1,540 
• USD 1,460 in cash to assist with travel and hotel expenses

It’s not simply an added prize. It’s a continuation of momentum, and a chance to carry a title run straight into another international field.

A Partnership That Continues

RPT Championship II returns on the back of a breakthrough first season. The RPT Championship I Main Event exceeded expectations and generated a VND 16 Billion prize pool from 1,118 entries, cementing the series as a rising force in the regional scene.

That inaugural showing also partnered with GOP, awarded the champion two trophies and a GOP package, laying the foundation for the collaboration that continues today.

Nguyen Van Dong An

Nguyen Van Dong An claimed that career-headlining title and soon after, boarded a flight to compete at GOP’s debut: Eden Awakens in Jeju, South Korea, extending his winning momentum onto a larger stage.

This year, the pathway returns — bigger, clearer, and more deliberate.

Win in Hanoi. Continue in Phnom Penh.
