Csome Starts Lights Out
Level 26
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Leandro Csome started as the chip leader and with the button. He immediately went to work, winning the first four pots. For three of those hands, Csome's opening raise to 90,000 was enough to take down the blinds and the antes. The other hand, Bruno "Foster" Politano tried to three-bet Csome from 90,000 to 190,000. Csome responded by shoving all in, a move that induced Politano to fold.
The lights on the stage went out midway through the fourth hand. The tournament is paused while the tournament staff works to restore them.

Play to Begin Soon
Tournament officials recently announced that the power company has assured them that the problem of rolling power outages has been resolved. The final eight players are being made up for TV and are set to be individually introduced in a few moments. After the introductions are complete play will begin for the day with 17:53 left in Level 25.
Power Outages
For the last hour or so we've been suffering rolling power outages here in Sao Paulo. Every time the tournament site loses power, everything goes with it: lights, A/C and internet. As a result the start of the tournament has been delayed.
Seat 1: Santiago Nadal, Mexico (555,000)

Seat 2: Marcio Motta, Brazil (1,205,000)
At 41 years old, Marcio Motta is the oldest of the final table players. The business owner from Rio de Janerio is no stranger to poker. He has made five final tables in major Brazilian poker tournaments. Motta is known as "Kamikase" to his friends, but if you want to know why, you'll have to ask him yourself. The story is as crazy as the nickname.
