Final Table Recap
The field of 452 players was down to its final table of nine for the start of Day 3, with Argentina's Brian Ganon holding a lead from Helton Richard in second place. Rodrigo Bueno was the first elimination at the final table in ninth place, followed by Munior Berno.
Diego Coutinho had started the final table as the short stack and tripled up to stay alive early on. However, he fell in seventh place at the hands of Mathias Guimarães, who also eliminated Marcos Sketch in sixth place.
However, Ganon went on a tear, having elimianted Berno in eighth place, he racked up the eliminations of Julio Santista and Silvio Weyne. Guimarães fired back by eliminating Helton Richard to bring it to heads-up with the only non-Brazilian at the final table.
Guimarães picked up a key pot heads-up, after defending his big blind with J♥9♦ after Ganon opened with J♦5♣. Ganon bet the 9♠4♥3♥ flop and Guimarães called. The turn 10♥ was checked by both players, and the river was the J♠. Guimarães bet and was called, with his two pair enough to increase his lead heads-up.
In the final hand, Guimarães shoved with 10♣7♣ on a K♣9♠3♦4♣J♣ board having rivered his flush. Ganon called with 10♥9♣ for just a pair of nines, but saw the bad news and had to settle for second place and R$130,000.
