Local man GM Quang Liem Le was the eventual winner on 7 points. Just a half-point behind were grandmasters Zurab Azmaiparashvili and Wesley So, followed by a bunch of others, including IM Rolando Nolte, on six points. So's performance, in particular, was impressive as he didn't drop a single game and thus ensuring that he gets ever closer to that magic 2650 mark.

Le Quang Long ('vutru' on ICC) also had a good tournament, starting with 2.5/3, all against players rated over 2500.
