Hamish Crawshaw Wins WPT Vietnam to Continue Fantastic Year

2 min read
Hamish Crawshaw continued his fantastic 2019.

The Asia-Pacific portion of the World Poker Tour got rolling with WPT Vietnam and Hamish Crawshaw continued his torrid 2019 by besting the field of 373 entries in the VN$55M (~$2,300) Main Event.

Crawshaw got VN$3,782,723,000 (~$162,600) for the win, and it's his third six-figure score this year. Previously, he made the final table of Aussie Millions and then won the Star Sydney Championship.

The strong turnout produced a prize pool of about $780,000. A few notables cashed, including Alan Lau, Jimmy Guerrero.

However, neither would make the official final table of six. Instead, the most notable names would be Crawshaw and PokerStars Pro Aditya Agarwal, making his first WPT final table despite having more than $1 million in recorded live earnings. The chip leader was Huynh Tan Dung with a little shy of 90 big blinds.

Final Table Action

Crawshaw's road to victory started with a very lucky hand as he got pocket tens in against the pocket queens of David Erquiaga early on. While the flop and turn came clean for Erquiaga, he would see a ten fall on the river to doom him in sixth place, according to the live updates.

Then, Crawshaw didn't need to get lucky as he found the ace-king when Agarwal shoved a little over 20 big blinds with ace-seven. The last two aces arrived on the flop to give Agarwal a shot at a chop in addition to seeking a seven, but Crawshaw just made aces full of kings on the river to ice it and take control of 40% of the chips.

Chen Da Jia made a short stack work for awhile then ran K?10? into the A?Q? of Crawshaw, who would follow by sending Michael Seymour packing a level later with Q?Q? over A?9?.

That set up a heads-up match with Huynh, who caught fire early on to move into a slight lead. However, the local hero got caught bluffing the turn and river with air on 2?J?5?10?J?, as Crawshaw called with 5?3? and Huynh had to show his 8?6?.

Huynh made a fight of it over the next two hours, but he'd ultimately get ground down to about seven big blinds. Forced to shove with A?3?, his run would end when Crawshaw paired up with Q?9? and then turned trips to seal it.
