Day 2 of 888Live Saão Paulo Main Event Set to Begin Soon!
Welcome back to 888Live São Paulo! It’s Day 2 of the Main Event and we’re just about ready to kick off our live coverage, moving away from our feature stories that we’ve been working on for the first few days and moving into live reporting and hand coverage that you are used to seeing. Yesterday, on Saturday, two flights kicked off; Day 1e and Day 1f.
The first flight, Day 1e brought in 188 new players. Leading the way after 10 levels of play was Leonardo Rizzo. Rizzo bagged up 291,400 chips heading into day two. But as mentioned before, Day 1e also brought in a list of notable players and pros including Bruno Foster Politano who bagged the 6th most chips in his flight with 126,800. Also making it through day 1e were Sofia Lövgren who bagged up 80,700, Kara Scott with 68,000, and Tiffany Michelle who bagged 22,900. All of them will be returning today to kick off Day 2 at 2 p.m. local time. With the addition of Day 1f, the turbo flight which began at 8 p.m. local time on Saturday, there were a total of 757 entrants for the event, creating a small overlay for the massive R$1,000,000 guaranteed prizepool.
