Level 25
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
There was no shortage of action on Day 2 of the $770 Main Event at the SiGMA Poker Tour in Sao Paulo, Brazil as the field of 36 quickly became the final table of nine. The Monte Carlo Poker Club is playing host to the festival's first-ever stop with a guaranteed prizepool of $250,000 among many other side events which has brought poker players from all over to the world's fifth largest city.
There were two players who stood out from the field today and one of them was Deddi Orpaz who made his way through via the turbo flight last night which ended in the wee hours of the morning. Just six hours ago, Orpaz sat down with a stack of 267,000 and managed to spin that into a whopping 2,525,000 when the dust settled. Hailing from Israel, Orpaz is the father of the more famous poker player Tom Orpaz, and combined have over $1.2 million in career earnings.

Day 2 Action
There were 36 players who returned to their seats for Day 2 and each of them were guaranteed a piece of the prizepool with a min-cash being worth $1,800. It didn't take long for the chips to go in the middle as it was WPT Global ambassador Romulo Dorea who jumped into the lead in the early going. Unfortunately for him, things spiralled out of control and he was forced to settle for a 15th-place finish.
There were two SiGMA Poker Tour ambassadors who entered the day in hopes of putting their name on the first-ever SiGMA Poker Tour trophy but it was not meant to be. Lukas Robinson got coolered when he rivered trip eights but was sent to the rail by the full house from Samara Alexandre. The last remaining ambassador was Drea Karlsen who pushed her short stack in the middle with a pair of fours but was called by a pair of eights. Karlsen was unable to improve on the runout and bowed out in 22nd place.
With just two tables remaining, the eliminations came fast and furious with multiple short stacks unable to double up. That was when Alexandre caught a run of cards en route to eliminating three players in succession. Orpaz was keeping pace until hand-for-hand was introduced with just 10 players remaining.
On the last hand of the night, it was a faceoff between the start-of-day chipleader and the current leader. Daria Krashennikova looked down at pocket queens and faced some table banter from Orpaz who was daring her to put her last chips in the middle. Krashennikova obliged after the flop but Orpaz flopped trip jacks to hold a commanding lead. The Russian poker pro was unable to improve and she became the last elimination of the day.
The final nine players will return at 4 p.m. local time where the lion's share of the prizepool will be up for grabs. Each player has already secured themselves at least $4,800 but will be in search of the title and the first-place prize of $63,000. The final table will be live streamed on the Monte Carlo Poker Club YouTube channel with roughly a 45-minute delay. The blinds will resume with around five minutes remaining in level 25 at 15,000/30,000 and a 30,000 big blind ante.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be here to bring you all of the updates on a delay to remain in sync with the live stream. Stay tuned to find out who will become the first-ever SiGMA Poker Tour Main Event champion.

Daria Krashennikova raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and Deddi Orpaz three-bet to 160,000 from the small blind. As Krashennikova was thinking, Orpaz tried to engage in some table talk.
"Save your money," Orpaz started off. "I'm trying to help you."
Krashennikova used a time bank and then just called to see a flop of J♣J♦8♣. Orpaz flicked in a bet of 200,000 and Krashennikova called off her last 200,000 chips.
Daria Krashennikova: Q♠Q♦
Deddi Orpaz: A♥J♠
It was Krashennikova who was ahead preflop but that changed when Orpaz flopped trip jacks. The 6♠ landed on the turn and Krashennikova was down to just two outs. The 2♠ hit the river and Orpaz celebrated as the field was brought down to the final table.
The players will now bag up their chips and return for the final day tomorrow which will be live streamed.

The action folded to Daria Krashennikova in the small blind who moved all in for her last 165,000 chips. Joao Leao asked for a count in the big blind and then made the call.
Daria Krashennikova: Q♠2♣
Joao Leao: 4♠4♣
Things were looking promising to reach the final table but the flop of Q♦8♦5♣ gave Krashennikova a pair of queens and the lead. The 7♥ on the turn made things a little more sweaty but the 2♦ only improved Krashennikova to two pair for a double up.

Marcelo Lopes was the short stack in the room and pushed all in for 215,000 on the button. Daria Krashennikova asked for a count in the big blind and then threw in a chip to call.
Marcelo Lopes: K♦J♣
Daria Krashennikova: A♥8♠
A crowd gathered around the table as the dealer fanned the flop of K♣J♠6♥ to give Lopes two pair. The A♠ on the turn got a reaction from the crowd but the 4♠ on the river sent everyone back to their seats.

Jacques Blit limped in from the cutoff and Christian Rico completed from the small blind. Sebastian Realino was forced all in from the big blind and the dealer spread the flop of Q♠9♣5♣.
Rico checked and Blit threw in a bet of 25,000 which Rico called. The turn was the J♥ and Rico checked again. Blit sized up a bet of 80,000 this time and Rico let his hand go.
Blit turned over J♠J♦ for a set of jacks which had Realino drawing slim with K♣7♠. The river was the 2♥ and Realino joined the flurry heading to the payout desk.

Daniele Leao shipped all in for 180,000 in middle position and Deddi Orpaz asked for a count on the button. He eventually flicked in a call and the blinds got out of the way.
Daniele Leao: A♣9♥
Deddi Orpaz: A♥J♣
Orpaz started in a dominating position and the flop of K♥Q♥10♠ left little to be decided. The 4♣ on the turn meant Leao was drawing dead to the 2♣ on the river.
