$770 Main Event
Day 2 Started
The stage is set and the players are ready to battle it out in the $770 Main Event on the SiGMA Poker Tour at the Monte Carlo Poker Club in Sao Pualo, Brazil. Over the course of six starting flights (one additional hyper-turbo added late last night), a total of 286 entries were recorded with just 36 players making it into the money and advancing to Day 2.
All the players have secured themselves a portion of the $250,000 guaranteed prizepool but it is Daria Krashennikova who has put herself in the best position, entering the day with 771,000 chips. The Russian poker pro is far and away ahead of the rest of her competitors after a stellar performance on Day 1b. Following in her footsteps is Erik Marasco who bagged up 532,000 chips on Day 1d.
Another couple of players to keep an eye on will be the SiGMA Poker Tour ambassadors Drea Karlsen (335,000) and Lukas Robinson (146,000). They will each be looking to put their stamp on the first SiGMA Poker Tour event and come away with the coveted trophy.
The cards are scheduled to go in the air at 2 p.m. local time with the blinds being rolled back to level 14 at 2,000/5,000 with a 5,000 big blind ante. The levels will also be increased to 40 minutes in length for the rest of the event with a 15-minute break after every three levels.
A full list of payouts will be posted when they become available. The action will continue throughout the day until the final table of nine players is reached, at which point they will return for the final day tomorrow. The PokerNews live reporting team will be here to bring you all of the updates throughout the day en route to the highly anticipated final table.

The cards are now in the air on Day 2 with the blinds being rolled back to 2,000/5,000 with a 5,000 big blind ante and 18 minutes remaining in that level.
Joao Leao raised to 10,000 in middle position and Samara Alexandre defended from the big blind. The flop came J♥6♥2♠ and Alexandre check-called a bet of 8,000 from Leao.
The 6♠ paired the board on the turn and both players checked to the 10♦ on the river. Alexandre led out with a bet of 15,000 and Leao quickly called. Alexandre turned over 6♦4♠ for trip sixes and was awarded the pot.

The action folded to Romulo Dorea in the small blind who made it 15,000 to go. Marcio Kayo called in the big blind and the dealer fanned the flop of K♦7♠4♦. Dorea continued with a bet of 19,000 and Kayo called.
The turn brought the 10♠ and Dorea put together a bet of 49,000. Kayo ripped all in for 127,000 which put Dorea in the tank for a minute before calling.
Marcio Kayo: 7♥5♥
Romulo Dorea: Q♣J♠
Kayo found himself ahead with just a pair of sevens but Dorea had plenty of outs. The river was the A♣ and Dorea completed a straight to send Kayo to the rail.

Carlos Torquato opened to 12,000 in early position and was called by Jacques Blit in the big blind. The flop came K♥9♥2♠ and it didn't take long for the players to get all of their chips in the middle with Torquato being at risk for 108,000.
Carlos Torquato: 2♥2♦
Jacques Blit: K♣J♣
Blit flopped top pair but it was no match for the set of deuces from Torquato. The 8♠ on the turn locked up the pot for Torquato, making the 8♥ on the river insignificant.

Drea Karlsen raised to 12,000 in middle position and Vagner Outor ripped all in for around 50,000 in the small blind. The action folded back to Karlsen who quickly called to put Outor at risk.
Vagner Outor: 2♠2♣
Drea Karlsen: 3♣3♦
Karlsen was already ahead but the flop of 9♣6♣3♥ cemented her lead in the hand. The 7♥ on the turn left Outor drawing dead to the A♦ on the river. Outor rose from his seat and wished his son, Hygor Outor, better luck who was sitting on an adjacent table.
