Seat 7: Fernando Araujo, Brazil (PokerStars Qualifier) – 860,000
Fernando Araujo is a 26-year-old professional poker player from Florianopolis, Brazil. Araujo grew up playing poker with a close group of friends and is now an online pro, and a six-year veteran of the game. This, his first LAPT event, Araujo says his greatest influence has been fellow Brazilian pro Thiago Pessotti, who goes by “GUITOSBR” on PokerStars. Should he reach the heads-up portion of Sunday’s final table, Araujo would most like to be sitting across from fellow Brazilian Felipe Pasini.
