I watched it live, he crushed his opponents in the FT, and did very well in the HU, reversing a situation where he was overtaken in chips, and returned to the lead and had a very good mindset, he also had a fold of AA trips where he made the fold, I think it was a magical day in his life. And he also missed his flight and played the FT inside a hotel room, I think that was a magical day in his career.

I don't think so, because Rafa is quite far from broadcasting and is working to hold a live BSOP tournament in brazil and when he broadcasts it is him playing and the winner was another player! MUNDOPOKER broadcasted it!

Wow, that’s incredible! Gabriel Tavares really made history with such an impressive win. $1.5 million is an amazing prize, and the fact that it’s the second highest online prize for a Brazilian makes it even more special. It must have been an intense tournament with over 3,000 players! Thanks for sharing this exciting update!

I'm glad when I hear stories like this one. I think it will get people more curious about poker and maybe some will be interested to pursue it as a hobby or as a career. That way the industry keeps on growing. And poker tournaments will be bigger and eventually be able to offer bigger guarantees. And that will catch the interest of more potential players.

Brazil has great players. Neymar is good at Poker. Now a days, better in poker than in soccer.
