: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
It was another smaller field that showed up for Day 1d of the $770 Main Event being held by the SiGMA Poker Tour at the Monte Carlo Poker Club in Sao Paulo, Brazil. A total of 50 entries were recorded on this flight with just seven players moving on to Day 2 tomorrow.
It was Erik Marasco who emerged at the top of the leaderboard when the dust settled, mostly thanks to the bubble pressure that was applied late in the evening. Marasco built one of the biggest stacks earlier on and then maneuvered his way through the short stacks that were hanging on as the bubble approached. On the last hand of the night, Danielle Antunes shoved her short stack into the middle and Marasco woke up with pocket jacks in the big blind to bring an end to Day 1d.

Day 1d Action
It was an early morning for poker players in Brazil with the cards going in the air just minutes after 11 a.m. local time and only a few players taking their seats from the start of the day. Among them was SiGMA Poker Tour ambassador John Arne Riise who was hoping to finally find a bag for Day 2. However, his luck ran out early on when he turned trip tens but his opponent had a full house. Riise was unable to improve on the river and was eliminated before the first break of the day.
A total of 50 entries were recorded for this flight, 42 unique entries and eight reentries, which meant that only seven players would advance to Day 2 and lock up a piece of the guaranteed prizepool. It appears that there will be a significant overlay to the $250,000 that was guaranteed as a total of 208 entries have been tallied throughout the first four flights. Currently, there is a turbo flight running and the staff have also added a hyper-turbo flight that will begin at 1 a.m. local time.
As of right now, there will be at least 26 players returning to the felt for Day 2 which will get underway at 2 p.m. local time. There will be a few more names added to the list when everything is completed later tonight. The blinds will be increased to 40 minutes in length tomorrow and will be rolled back to the 2,000/5,000 level (which is where Day 1c ended). Play will continue until the final table of nine players is reached.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be on-site to bring you all of the updates throughout the day until the final table is reached.

On the first hand of the new level, the action folded around to Danielle Antunes in the small blind who moved all in for her last 30,000 chips. Erick Marasco quickly called in the big blind and the cards were face up.
Danielle Antunes: A♥Q♦
Erick Marasco: J♥J♣
It turned out to be a coin flip and the flop of K♣K♦2♠ left Marasco in front with two pair. The 8♠ on the turn and the 9♣ on the river missed Antunes who was eliminated on the bubble. The final seven players will now bag their chips and return tomorrow for Day 2.

Marcelo Mesqueu raised to 16,000 in the cutoff and Vagner Outor jammed all in for his last 43,000 on the button. The blinds folded and Mesqueu asked for a count before flicking in a chip to call.
Vagner Outor: A♣K♣
Marcelo Mesqueu: 5♠3♣
The flop came A♠Q♠9♦ and Outor took a stranglehold on the hand with a pair of aces. The 8♥ on the turn left Mesqueu drawing dead to the 2♦ on the river.

Danielle Antunes opened to 16,000 in the cutoff and Erick Marasco called on the button. They went heads-up to a flop of A♣Q♣10♠ and Antunes started by checking. Marasco made a bet of 15,000 and Antunes snap-called.
The turn was the J♣ and both players checked to the 9♥ on the river. Antunes checked again and Marasco dropped in a stack of 25,000 chips. Antunes quickly folded and Marasco collected another pot.

There was an all-in and call at each table and the cards were held to run one at a time. First, it was Marcelo Mesqueu who was at risk for 108,000 with 7♠7♦ against the A♥K♠ of Yuri Rodrigues.
The board ran out Q♦8♦6♣2♦J♣ and Mesqueu's pocket sevens held on for a double up.
At the other table, William Pinheiro was at risk for around 60,000 and fighting an uphill battle with A♦2♥ against Marcelo Lopes' 10♠10♣. The flop of Q♠6♥2♦ gave Pinheiro a pair but not the one he was looking for. The Q♥ on the turn and the 5♦ on the river sealed his fate as the tournament is now down to a single table.
