USOP Is Bringing Excitement Back To Hanoi This October
Poker in Asia is entering a new golden era, and Vietnam is about to take center stage. USOP is proud to be the exclusive sponsor for the Grand Loyal Poker Championship, which will take place from October 10 to 22, 2025 at the luxurious Grand Vista Hotel in Hanoi, with a guaranteed Kick-Off Event prize pool of VND 7 billion and a chance to win the exclusive prestige trophies, a true symbol of achievement at USOP-powered events. This highly anticipated event will attract elite professionals, ambitious new players, and passionate enthusiasts not only from Vietnam but globally, all eager to battle for prestige, trophies, and massive payouts.
Hanoi is a city where tradition and modernity meet on every corner. The championship venue, Grand Vista Hanoi, sits at the heart of the city, giving players easy access to everything Hanoi has to offer. When players step away from the tables, they’ll discover iconic landmarks such as Hoàn Kiếm Lake, the peaceful heart of the city crowned by Ngọc Sơn Temple and the crimson Thê Húc Bridge; the bustling Old Quarter, where centuries-old streets overflow with cafés, boutique shops, and legendary street food; and the scholarly Temple of Literature, Vietnam’s first university.
The capital also offers serene escapes like West Lake and Trấn Quốc Pagoda, cultural gems like the Imperial Citadel of Thăng Long and Hanoi Opera House, and sobering history at sites like the Hòa Lò Prison Museum. Just beyond the city, players can explore Hạ Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where thousands of limestone peaks rise from emerald waters and a variety of activities centered around its beautiful marine landscape, or venture to Ninh Bình and Tam Cốc, often called “Hạ Long Bay on land.” Just as tournament structures are designed to give players room to think and strategize, Hanoi gives travelers room to breathe, explore, and truly savor their time away from the tables.
The Grand Loyal Poker Championship has been carefully designed to maximize both competition and cultural experience. The schedule features deep structures, high-stakes High Roller events, and a prestigious Main Event that anchors the series. Participants can expect a polished tournament environment worthy of the region’s growing reputation as a poker hub, giving both seasoned pros and ambitious newcomers a fair shot at major titles. The luxurious facilities at Grand Vista Hanoi ensure that every player will enjoy seamless USOP hospitality while experiencing Hanoi’s vibrant energy.
By bringing that vibrant energy to Vietnam, the Grand Loyal Poker Championship powered by USOP will bring high-level competition, cultural discovery, and first-class hospitality for all players. The Championship is not just an event — it’s an experience. With Hanoi now stepping into the spotlight, players have the rare chance to combine high-level competition with an unforgettable travel adventure. Whether cruising through Ha Long Bay, tasting world-famous phở in the Old Quarter, or battling for titles on the felt, the Grand Loyal Poker Championship promises twelve days of poker, culture, and excitement in one of Southeast Asia’s most captivating cities. From thrilling moments on the felt to unforgettable memories in Vietnam’s capital, this is one stop on the poker calendar that truly offers it all.
