On PokerStars, Andrey Lamego plays under the nickname “Lamego10”, and in this Mini Bounty Builder HR, he was able to overcome a field of 1,469 entries. For this performance, he pocketed US$ 8,122, combining regular prize and bounties. His last opponent was compatriot Anselmo Taveira “PIPOQUEER”, who took home US$ 6,676 in second place.
And besides Andrey Lamego and Anselmo Taveira, Brazil also stood out in the same tournament with “ViniciusJ94”. By a narrow margin, he did not complete the 100% green and yellow podium, as he finished in fourth place. For the “podium bubble,” the Brazilian pocketed US$ 3,395.

More Brazil in the spotlight
Just as Andrey Lamego did, another Brazilian won an equally important title. In the weekly US$ 109 Thursday Thrill, Túlio Dutra “tuliodutra96” was crowned the best among the 418 entries registered. For this title, he pocketed US$ 7,661.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that, in the more expensive version of the tournament won by Lamego, Brazil also performed well, finishing just one step away from the title. Dalton Hobold “daltonhb” was second out of 47 in the US$ 530 Bounty Builder High Roller, and for this near miss, secured a total payout of US$ 3,729.
