Pedro Cavalieri gained strength in the race for the BSOP High Roller ranking. This is because the player was not sure if he would participate in the BSOP Floripa. After all, he was facing a knee problem and had surgery scheduled.

However, the surgery was postponed. Thus, Cavalieri was able to compete in the Florianópolis stage. And the player made very good use of the unexpected opportunity. Soon, he won the title of the 25K Super High Roller, the most expensive tournament on the schedule.
Therefore, the victory brought an important prize for the campaign. Pedro Cavalieri earned R$ 310,000 for first place. Since the competition counted as a Gold Tournament, the champion also received an exclusive and personalized card protector.
However, the result had a direct impact on the ranking battle. Before the stage, Cavalieri was behind Lucas Scafini. Now, the player has closed the gap with the leader and made the competition even more balanced.
