The contest in question was the US$ 55 World Festival Classic, with US$ 2.026 million guaranteed. The multiple phases totaled 52,614 entries, which raised the prize pool to US$ 2,662,268. In short, 5,069 players participated in Phase 2, and Vinícius Machado took his account “itsmagic[2]” to the top of this field, pocketing no less than US$ 301,850.
It goes without saying that this was the biggest Brazilian cash in the GGPoker session. However, there were several other notable results. Besides Rodrigo Selouan at the final table of the GGMillion$, Brazil also had success in the GGWF daily events, such as Pedro Padilha, champion of the 97-Super (US$ 5,250 Bounty Hunters Daily Main), beating 56 entries to take US$ 80,911.

Similarly, two players from the country stood out in the 97-Medium (US$ 55 Bounty Hunters Daily Main) of the GGWF. In a huge field of 9,849 entries, Diego Aranda won, earning US$ 37,936 for the title. In fourth place was “LillusTw0”, securing US$ 15,171.
