Adauto Viana Junior Claims First Recorded Victory in $400 Daily Deepstack
Adauto Viana Junior topped a 50-entry field in May 27's $400 Daily Deepstack, earning $5,414 and his first recorded tournament victory. The Brazilian player’s win in Monday’s 4 p.m. event brings his live tournament earnings to just under $60,000, with this result marking his second-largest career cash.
The event generated a $17,550 prize pool, with the top eight players making the money and a $851 minimum payout.
Viana Junior’s win improves on his previous best finish at the WSOP, a fourth-place result in last year's $250 Seniors Deepstack (50+). He defeated Mark Lacoste (2nd – $3,369) and James Shibley (3rd – $2,232) to close out the final table.
