The tournament concluded on Monday, September 27, as the surviving players from all Day 1 flights returned for Day 2 action.

The event itself attracted 7,935 players who rebought 667 times for a total field of 8,602 entries.

Brazilian NaoInTendo Wins Top Honours

After Brazil’s “Dilerlol” bowed out in third place for $70,000, the title came down to fellow Brazilian Guilherme "NaoInTendo" Carvalho and 888poker regular “kiskutya23”.

After 7 hours and 11 minutes of play, the former came out on top to claim the prestigious title and $122,000 first-place prize.

• If you recognise Carvalho’s name, it may be because back in April, he final tabled the WPTDeepStacks London Event #4: $30,000 PKO on 888poker, ultimately finishing in eighth place.

A month before that, he also won a major online title for $112,960, which was the biggest score of his career. He has set a new mark by winning the Big Shot Special Edition.
