Pablo Silva wins partypoker MILLIONS South America Main Event!

partypoker MILLIONS South America saw Brazilian player Pablo Silva flip his fate overnight. Entering with a bankroll of $41,776, he turned into a millionaire after taking down the major attraction of the entire series $10,300 Main Event which also proved to be the biggest win of his career!

The Main Event commenced on 6 February and a field of 456 runners were registered across two starting flights at the Punta del Este in Uruguay, but the tournament failed to meet the $5 million guarantee. The money bubble burst on Day 2 when Brazil’s Yuri Dzivielevski fell in 66^th place, becoming the bubble boy and giving way for the rest of the survivors to lock up at least $20,000.

Other notable players earning a payout include Tatyana Barausova, Jack Sinclair, Ivan Luca, Mihai Manole, and Rainer Kempe. Team partypoker pros Day Kotoviezy, Roberto Romanello, and Richard Dubini also cashed in the event.

Day 4 began with Daniel Rezaei returning with the biggest stack of 138,800,000. The first player to leave the table was Rafael Caiaffa in 9^th position. Pedro Madeira followed. Next in line was Dzimtry Urbanovich who started his day with the shortest stack and fell out in 7^th position when his Ace King failed to dominate the pocket nines of Rezaei. After a few more eliminations and Rezaei’s dismissal, heads-up got underway which did not last too long.

Silva had a 6:1 chip lead over Fabio Colonese. The tournament ended with Silva holding Jh Jc and Colonese shoving for 60 million with 8c 6d. The former made a quick call and flopped a full house on the Jd 4h 4d board. 5h and Ks on turn and river, respectively, completed the board. Silva lifted the partypoker MILLIONS trophy along with $1 million while Colonese walked out with $640k.
