Several Brazilian players departed PokerStars on Wednesday with full bankrolls thanks to the ongoing success of the PokerStars Bounty Builder Series. Renan Meneguetti, a native of Santa Catarina, is a prime example.
With the handle “xrenanx182,” the star completely dominated Event #98-H ($530 Bounty Builder High Roller) against a field of 180 competitors. Renan received a monetary prize of $20,077. Gabriel Schroeder “gabsdrogba” took third place and $6,913 in the same competition.
Similarly, Brazil led the 3,357-entry field for Event #98-L ($55 Mini Bounty Builder HR) in the same season. The winner, “muriLLoo.mrL” of Murilo Machado, took home $19,508. The runner-up, “ENG.Brito” of Haroldo Brito, got $10,473.
Ultimately, Samba Poker Team ace Saymon Dias, “$aymon9,” won Event #103 ($109 Phenomenon Special). The pro eliminated 777 amateurs from the tournament and ended up with $12,616 in winnings.
