However, this was not the only expensive contest of the day in the series in Balneário Camboriú (SC). Without a doubt, the R$ 10 thousand buy-in of the High Roller PKO One Day was much more accessible than the Ultra High Roller – the field of 151 entries proves this. But the competition was also among the most lively, attracting high-level players and distributing nice payouts.

And this time, the dominance in the final stretch was foreign. The title was already guaranteed for some neighbor of Brazil in the 4-handed, since there were two Colombians and two Argentinians left. Better for Carlos Serrano, from Colombia, who won the tournament and earned R$ 141,750.
