Seat 3: Marcelo Fonseca, Brazil (1,245,000)
Marcelo Fonseca, 25, currently lives in Porto Alegre and has a degree in Administration, but turned poker pro shortly after leaving university two years ago. He started playing home games with his friends and decided to invest some time playing online. The switch to online poker paid off as he placed 22nd in the 2010 WCOOP #1 beating a field of more than 9,000 players. He has played LAPT events in the past, but this is first cash in the richest poker tour of Latin America.
