The first-ever World Poker Tour Brasil was completed last night at Infinity Blue Resort & Spa in Balneário Camboriú, Brazil, where the event was hosted. Local player Raphael Francisquetti took down the R$1,500 Main Event to collect a first-place prize of R$781,546 and the tournament trophy.
The player emerged as the winner after entering the final day of play as the chip leader and maintaining his advantage for the greater part of the day.
The WPT Brasil Main Event, part of the schedule of the inaugural WPT Brasil presented by Brasil Poker Live, took place from August 23 through August 29. The tournament featured a guaranteed prize pool of R$2 million, which was later on swollen all the way up to R$4,269,746. Here it is important to note that the tournament attracted great interest among players from Brazil and the rest of South America. There were 3,386 entries to participate in the inaugural edition of the event.
The final hand for the evening and the tournament as a whole occurred when Fernando Konishi bet 2.4 million pre-flop and Francisquetti three-bet to 5.9 million. Konishi then shoved to see his opponent call.
Francisquetti tabled Jc Js against Konishi’s Jd 7s. A blank Ah Qc 4s 9s 2s board secured Francisquetti with the title and the first-place prize. Konishi hit the rail in second place, putting an end to excellent performance in the tournament. The player collected R$469,700 for his deep run.
