Level 10
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Martin Kabrhel was up to his usual antics on Day 1 of the Brazilian Series of Poker (BSOP) Super High Roller Series R$500,000 ($100,000 US) Super High Roller Main Event, and that included accumulating a lot of chips quickly.
The Czech superstar, already with one trophy this week, shot out to an early lead today and was the first to climb above 1,000,000. Cries of "Casino Royale" rang through the WTC Sheraton in Sao Paulo today, as Kabrhel ended up with 1,550,000 and the chip lead over the remaining 17 players.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Martin Kabrhel | Czechia | 1,550,000 | 155 |
| 2 | Daniel Rezaei | Austria | 1,373,000 | 137 |
| 3 | Gabriel Tavares | Brazil | 1,253,000 | 125 |
| 4 | Vladimir Minko | Russian Federation | 966,000 | 97 |
| 5 | Felipe Boianovsky | Brazil | 945,000 | 95 |
| 6 | Rodrigo Selouan | Brazil | 933,000 | 93 |
| 7 | Joao Simao | Brazil | 816,000 | 82 |
| 8 | Thiago Crema | Brazil | 723,000 | 72 |
| 9 | Kelvin Kerber | Brazil | 695,000 | 70 |
| 10 | Pedro Padilha | Brazil | 684,000 | 68 |
Daniel Rezaei was among the first to bust today, but his second bullet went much better after he flopped quads to virtually double up. He bagged up 1,373,00, putting him in second place behind Kabrhel. Gabriel Tavares survived a big flip against Thiago Crema late in the day and was the third member of the million-chip club with 1,253,000. Vladimir Minko (966,000) and $50,000 Super High Roller champion Felipe Boianovsky (945,000) round out the top five.
Further down the leaderboard are Joao Simao (816,000), Crema (723,000), Kelvin Kerber (695,000), Leonardo Rizzo (520,000), and Zdenek Zizka (432,000). Renan Bruschi, despite Kabrhel’s offer of a $2 million bet he wouldn’t survive the day, managed to do so thanks to a double up to 378,000 on the last hand of the night. Alisson Piekazewicz (266,000), Yuri Dzivielevski (137,000), and Mehdi Chaoui (85,000) are all coming back on short stacks for Day 2.
A total of 24 players entered on Day 1. Among those who busted during the day and didn’t reenter were Dietrich Fast, who was the first casualty when he ran his nines into Zizka’s jacks, as well as Ottomar Ladva and Fabiano Kovalski. They and other hopefuls still have until the end of Level 15 tomorrow to enter.
The action on Day 2 picks up on Level 11 with blinds of 5,000/10,000 and a 10,000 big blind ante. Levels remain 40 minutes until Level 16, when they will be extended to 60 minutes.
PokerNews will be back tomorrow at 2 p.m. following all the action as the prize pool is determined and the field plays on to a final table.

Day 1 has ended with 17 players remaining out of 24 entries.
Stay tuned for chip counts and a recap of the day's action.
Level 10
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Renan Bruschi raised to 20,000 in the hijack and was called by Kelvin Kerber and Pedro Padilha in the blinds.
The flop came A♣2♣6♦ and Bruschi bet 17,000. Kerber then raised to 35,000.
"We can still do the bet. $2 million. Put it on the table," Martin Kabrhel said to Mehdi Chaoui, repeating his offer from earlier on whether Bruschi would bust before the end of the day.
Padilha folded, but Bruschi moved all in for 134,000. Kerber took a few seconds before calling.
Renan Bruschi: A♦10♠ 
Kelvin Kerber: A♥9♥
Both players had flopped top pair, but Bruschi was ahead with his ten-kicker. The rest of the board ran out J♦Q♥ and he doubled up on the last hand of the night.

Rodrigo Selouan raised to 20,000 on the button and Thiago Crema called in the big blind.
Selouan bet 17,000 on the Q♥6♥7♣ flop and Crema called. The turn was the K♠ and Selouan bet another 80,000.
Crema called to the 7♦ river, where Selouan moved all in for 342,000.

He eventually called with A♥J♠ for ace-high, but Selouan had K♣8♦ for two pair to win the pot and double up.
