Jason-Pan39 show an early door, eliminated in 9th

Jason-Pan39 was one among two players entering the general table with not up to ten big blinds and he put them to make use of at the second hand after their return.

He moved all-in from the button after Pablos701 opened to 8.8 million and collected a choice after the blinds released their hands. Jason-Pan39 was more healthy to double with A♠K♦ against Q♣J♣ but Pablos701 hit immediately at the Q♠7♠3♠ flop. Jason-Pan39 still had two over cards plus his new flush draw but missed the trip-giving Q♦ turn. The river came 4♥ for his final miss to send Jason-Pan39 off the overall table in 9th place.

andreas1966 doubles through tnb1990

No slowing them down and there has been another big pot at the next hand after Jason-Pan39 was sent to the rail. andreas1966 was within the big blind when he called a min-raise from tnb1990 to the J♣T♣9♣ flop.

Both players checked and andreas1966 tossed out 12 million after the 6♥ turn. tnb1990 called before the 6♠ river and andreas1966 moveda all-in for his final 41 million. The shove was called but tnb1990 was second best with J♥5♣ against andreas1966's flopped set/rivered full house J♠J♦ for the massive double.

TimMoscow007 doubles through Pablos701

The final table went a whole orbit with out a major pot before two big hands created one. It started when TimMoscow007 opened for a min-raise from under the gun and Pablos701 three-bet to 21 million from the button.

TimMoscow007 responsed with a shove for 72 million and Pablos701 called with A♠K♠. Suited Slick is pretty nice until it runs into A♣A♦. Pablos701 never came as regards to a nasty beat because the board ran 6♦5♦5♠9♦Q♦ board to provide TimMoscow007 the double up flush.

Rose Gambit runs out of chips, eliminated in 8th

Rose Gambit was the shortest stack and watched as two opportunities to ladder up glided by with no knockout. It was finally time to take a shot and Rose Gambit min-raised with A♠K♣ after andreas1966 min-raised from under the gun.

andreas1966 raised enough to place Rose Gambit all-in and it was a snappy call. Rose Gambit had to catch her over cards against andreas1966 J♠J♣ and added a gutshot wheel draw at the 4♦3♦2♠ flop. The 2♥ turn was no help and Rose Gambit was gone in 8th place after the 6♦ river.

sebirizoR crowned by kings, eliminated in 7th

With the deep stacks, there has been no desperate reason behind players to place numerous chips in peril. Only big hands. All in major early action happened when two players caught top hands to construct those big pots, and it happened again to get them six-handed.

It began with another min-raise from under the gun, this time by TimMoscow007, and sebirizoR moved all-in for 46.7 million with A♦K♣. Big Slick was back in play again and earned a snappy call by TimMoscow007 with K♠K♥. sebirizoR couldn't find an ace because the all-low board ran 6♥4♦2♥8♦8♠ to get the tournament one spot shorter.

nillolok doubles through mmleandro

mmleandro opened to 14.63 million from under the gun and nillolok moved all-in for 77.5 million from the button. The blinds released their hands and mmleandro called with another premium hand.

nillolok needed help with A♠T♠ against K♠K♣ and smacked the A♥4♣3♠ flop right off the bat. No suckout at the 8♥ turn or 5♥ river to offer nillolok a double up in the course of the chip leader after the large pair didn't hold.

Pablos701 can't drive 55, eliminated in 6th

Pablos701 was the following in step with a brief stack and open shoved for his remaining 55.7 million and TimMoscow007 called from the button with A♠7♦.

It was a race with Pablos701's 5♠5♣ and the T♥8♥8♣ flop changed little. The bad card for Pablos701 came at the A♥ turn they usually each boated up at the 8♦ river, Pablos701 with the smallest to send him out in 6th place.

No deals to be found

The remaining players decided to pause the clock to talk about chopping up the rest prize pool with each holding the next counts:

mmleandro - 509,277,909andreas1966 - 217,358,392tnb1990 - 200,876,289nillolok - 159,934,850TimMoscow007 - 142,102,560

Both the ICM and chip chop numbers had everyone making greater than $100,000 but negotiations quickly fell through with each wanting greater than the following. After nearly 25 minutes of back-and-forth, the returned to play some more poker.

mmleandro drops, nillolok doubles

mmleandro had a pleasant lead during chop talk but he dropped a large pot once they returned. He was heads-up with andreas1966 to the J♦J♣7♥ flop and 2♣ turn with mmleandro firing 15 million and 35 million chip bets. They both checked the 5♠ river and andreas1966 pulled 13.7 million chips with K♣5♣.

nillolok was all-in five hands later with four bets against tnb1990 in another race, nillolok's J♦J♠ prior to tnb1990's A♦K♣. The board ran clean Q♠3♦3♣9♣Q♦ to send the large pot to nillolok and reset the stacks.

tnb1990 can't comeback, eliminated in 5th

tnb1990 was right in the course of the pack after they hit five-handed play but quickly dropped under ten big blinds after the talks broke down. He found an ace at the button and shoved with A♣2♥ but was unlucky to have TimMoscow007 move in excessive with what turned out to be K♥K♠ within the small blind.

tnb1990 picked up additional duck outs at the 8♠8♥2♣ flop but missed the 6♥ turn and 3♠ river to be the following gone from the overall table.

mmleandro moves back ahead with ace-high

It was neck-and-neck between mmleandro and andreas1966 after they played a 200K pot. andreas1966 called a 56.5 million chip three-bet from mmleandro to the T♥8♣3♣ flop. They both checked the flop and the 2♦ turn before andreas1966 fired 40 million after the 7♦ river.

After some serious thought, mmleandro called correctly to win the 213 million chip pot with ace-high A♦K♠ to overcome andreas1966's queen-high Q♥J♥.

Seat 5: mmleandro - 468,651,567Seat 8: TimMoscow007 - 278,733,554Seat 9: nillolok - 244,619,700

Blinds: 5M/10M with 1.25M Ante

TimMoscow007 makes a move, eliminated in 4th

One hand after mmleandro's big pot, while they were talking about talking about chopping, TimMoscow007 was in a three-bet hand to the J♠7♥6♣ flop. The chips went within the middle with nillolok's A♣J♣ far superior to TimMoscow007's 5♥4♥ and he pulled the massive double up after the A♠5♦ turn/river.

The hand left TimMoscow007 very short and he was gone soon after when his J♥5♥ couldn't come from behind against 6♣6♦ to move out in 4th place.

Now we now have a deal

The three remaining players paused the clock again with the next counts:

nillolok - 566,217,108mmleandro - 445,787,713andreas1966 - 217,545,170

This time, it was a miles quicker discussion they usually decided to cut up the rest prize pool with the next numbers, leaving $20,000 behind for the principle Event champion:

mmleandro - $176,058.77nillolok - $175,000.00andreas1966 - $135,000.00

That's not a typo, mmleandro negotiated a larger payout than chip leader nillolok.

andreas1966 falls short, eliminated in 3rd

andreas1966 was looking up on the other two players and was locked right into a $135,000 payout with only $20,000 left in play. So as to grab that extra money, andreas1966 had to move up the counts. His effort came when he called a chance from mmleandro to look the J♦J♥3♣ flop then check/raised all-in.

It was a very simple demand mmleandro with trip jacks J♣5♣ to dominate andreas1966's K♥7♥. As a 97% dog to double, andreas1966 was drawing dead after the 7♣ turn to head out in 3rd place and arrange the Brazilian Battle for the primary Event Championship.

mmleandro adds another Brazilian title with Main Event win

mmleandro hit heads-up play with a pleasing chip lead but nillolok was not willing to surrender. He managed to tug back a small lead but mmleandro quickly took it back. The chip gap continually increased until nillolok took a chance after 50 minutes of play.

It took four bets back-and-forth before nillolok was all-in and in trouble with K♦Q♦ against A♦K♥. mmleandro was dominating before the 9♦6♣4♠ flop then locked it up at the A♥ turn to win his first major online title.

nillolok did rather well to earn $175,000 for his runner-up finish, a bit better than his previous career high of $49. mmleandro began the overall table with the chip lead and carried it through to the primary Event title for just about $200,000 and the custom Movado watch. This was also the 21st title for a Brazilian this series, a pleasant little proof of talent within the South American country.
