Mid-month is a lucrative time for members of FullTilt, when the online poker room hosts its monthly $1,000,000 guarantee poker tournament. With the biggest smile of all plastered across his face, Leandro Brasa took down the $1m GTD for a soothing 1st place prize of $184,000.
A field of 1,943 forked over the $500+35 buy-in to participate in the tournament, nearly enough to cover the full million dollar prize pool, but not quite. Full Tilt Poker has become accustomed to overlays in recent months, but you won’t hear any complaints from the players.
The top 306 finishers would see a piece of the sizeable purse, but none more so than the final tablists. “HateItOrLoveIt” was one of them, falling to the rails in 4th place for $59,000. Next to exit was “DeMaci”, whose 3rd place finish earned $74,000, leaving it to “Leandro Brasa” and “I CaioPimenta I” to battle it out for the top spot.
31 year old Leandro “Brasa” Pimentel of Brazil would eventually emerge the victor, claiming the 1st place cash of $184,000. This is just one of many online poker accomplishments for Leandro, who seems to cash for at least a 5-digit profit each month, split between various online poker rooms – Full Tilt Poker, PokerStar.com and PartyPoker among the list.
Caio Caesar “I CaioPimenta I” Pimenta, also from Brazil but quite a bit younger at 20 years of age, has seen his own fair share of online poker tournament cashes, including 3 profitable cashes worth a combined total of more than $70,000 at Full Tilt Poker since August 20, 2008. Pimenta’s 2nd place finish earned him another $113,000 to bring that total near enough to $200k.
