We caught up to the action on the river of a massive pot brewing between Mauro Tabarin and Leonardo Garcia. Tabarin was first to act from the small blind and he had moved all in for roughly 300,000 into the pot of almost 450,000. The board was and Garcia was in the tank as the decision was for his tournament life.
He thought about it for several minutes, then he finally decided to call, throwing in one chip. Tabarin turned up for a flopped set. Garcia showed his but it was no good. Tabarin scooped the big pot and Garcia hit the rail in 23rd place.
From under the gun, Lucas Menezes shoved all in for roughly 200,000. Action folded around to Ary Nogueira on the button and he called the shove. Everyone else folded so the two went heads-up to a showdown.
Menezes:
Nogueira:
The board ran out putting four to a flush on the board, but as neither player had a heart, Nogueira's hand was best and Menezes was eliminated in 24th place.
After a raise to 42,000 under the gun from Mario Borges, Eder Giglio moved all in over the top for 179,000. Next to act, Osvaldo Ruben Irrazabal reraised, making it 365,000 to go. Action folded around, and after Borges folded, the remaining two headed to a showdown.
Irrazabal:
Giglio:
The board ran out giving Irrazabal two pair and the knockout. Giglio was eliminated in 26th place as Marcelo Pereira was eliminated on a nearby alternate table in 27th place.
Only 27 remain in the 888Live S?o Paulo Main event. That means there is three tables standing between one player, and the winner of the R$200,000 first place prize, the $13,000 WSOPE Package, and the Breitling winner's watch as well. Action is kicking off at 2 p.m. local time at level 22, as there was one unscheduled level of play that took place late into last night.
Leading the way is Guilherme Cazula. The young poker phenom was all over the chip counts yesterday, hopping up and down from the top spot to the middle of the pack. And not only that, he was keeping tabs on Daniel Aziz too. While he wasn't focused solely on locking up the top spot, he was excited to be there at the end of the night. Aziz happened to finish just behind Cazula in the counts, and they were followed by Osvaldo Ruben Irrazabal who rounded out the top three counts.
One other player to keep an eye on today is Fernando "Grow" Garcia. While Garcia may not be a household poker name in the U.S.A. he is definitely one of Brazil's brightest poker stars. In 2013 he took down the Brazil Series of Poker High Roller for $123,000 USD as well as two other tournaments in that same series for roughly $20,000 USD more. Garcia is returning today as one of the shorter stacks, but he definitely should not be counted out yet.
Yesterday, multiple well-known players fell by the wayside before making it to the money. Bruno Politano, Leo Margets, Tiffany Michelle, Sofia L?vgren and Felipe Ramos all fell before the money. One of the only 888 Ambassadors to even cash was Kara Scott who made it past the bubble and beyond but ended up falling after the dinner break on the live streamed feature table.
Blinds for today will start at 10,000/20,000 with a 3,000 ante and today is set to be the final day of play and action will kick off right at 2 p.m. PokerNews will be here with all the live updates to make sure you stay tuned!
