Thus, the one who cashed big in recent days was Gabriel Schroeder. The Brazilian played the US$ 1,100 NLH of the MSPT, held at the Venetian Casino, and finished in fifth place among 1,495 entries. With that, the online “gabsdrogba” took home a prize of US$ 63,411.

Ari Kunuk Shin called the bet despite being behind, holding K♠10♦. However, the board A♦9♥3♣K♣2♠ completely changed the scenario and ended the Brazilian’s run.
