Augusto Silva Eliminated in 39th Place ($4,790)
Silva has had a ton of bad luck ever since he left his home country of Portugal. The online qualifier from Gnuf Poker had to fly from Portugal to London. Then London to Hong Kong. Then Hong Kong to L.A. and then finally L.A. to Melbourne, Australia. Not only did his travel agent botch up his flights... he also lost his lugagge and the airline took three days to find it. That's not all. He forgot that last night was Daylight Savings time in Australia and he showed up to the tournament one hour late. He got blinded down to 1,200 in chips when he eventually arrived. But he managed to hang on and make the money. This was a memorable trip to Australia for sure for Augusto Silva.
