Final Table Takes Centre Stage at 2025 BSOP Championship
An action-packed day awaits at the WTC Sheraton, as the 2025 BSOP Championship sees nine players return to battle until a champion is crowned here in Sao Paulo.
The nine remaining players have outlasted a field of 714 entries, and are now one final hurdle away from collecting the title, trophy and $800,000 first-place prize. The action gets underway at 2 p.m. local time, where Diones Lopes returns out in front with 14,810,000.
This result already stands as Lopes’ largest tournament cash to date, adding a significant sum to his current live earnings of just over $40,000, according to The Hendon Mob.
Hot on his heels, Brazilian powerhouse Pedro Padilha looks to add to his already accomplished resume. Beginning the day with 12,755,000, a win today would propel Padilha into the top five on Brazil's all-time money list.
Giorgio Tonin rounds out the start-of-day podium with 9,880,000, knowing that a seventh-place finish or better would unlock a new career-best score.

Completing the top five, Bernardo Soares (9,430,000) and Alen Fillipi (7,155,000) begin the day well within striking distance of the leaders. While Ramiro Araujo (5,890,000) and Gregory Fabião (5,695,000) also carry comfortable stacks into the final day, each having over 30 big blinds to play with.
Rounding out the final table are Matheus Grazziotin (3,180,000) and Martin Kabrhel (2,560,000) — the latter a five-time WSOP bracelet winner, and the lone non-Brazilian still in the hunt. Despite both starting at the lower end of the counts, they remain very much in contention.
