Brazilian Dante Goya is a well-known star of virtual tables, especially on GGPoker and in Omaha tournaments. It was in this environment that he won an absurd payout, which exceeded US$ 200 thousand this Sunday (31). In a GGWF (GGPoker World Festival) phase competition, he made it to the end.

In short, Dante Goya finished in second place in the Phase-S: US$ 1,500 Omaholic Championship. The tournament had 91 players in the final stage, coming from multiple qualifying rounds that totaled 1,075 entries. There was a deal at 3-handed, and in the end, the Brazilian took home US$ 219,652.
Without a doubt, the Sunday grind of Brazilians at the GGWF drew attention due to the number of huge prizes. In the 274-Super (US$ 1,500 Sunday Showdown Asia), for example, “8Valverde8” won, overcoming 161 entries to take no less than US$ 97,168, with US$ 80,512 coming from bounty envelopes.

Similarly, in the 285-Super (US$ 2,625 Sunday Heater), Alisson Piekazewicz was first out of 64 for US$ 53,815, with Rodrigo Selouan in second (US$ 23,971).
And the results extend much further. In the 282-High (US$ 525 Sunday Main Event), Lúcio Lima won the remarkable title, overcoming 1,216 entries to secure US$ 65,488. In the 279-High (US$ 525 Bounty Hunters Sunday Main Event), two Brazilians stood out: “provirs” in fifth out of 3,871 (US$ 53,910) and André Berlanda in ninth (US$ 31,297).
