With the gargantuan turn-out guaranteeing Brazilian and South American poker’s biggest-ever field, the prizes on the line for the winner were made so much bigger by the weight of the additional Platinum Pass on the line.

Sebastian Gaviño won approximately $31,757 by getting the better of Finetto, but the Platinum Pass was worth an additional $30,000, almost doubling the Peruvian’s winnings. As well as his €22,500 entry into the much talked about event in Barcelona, Gaviño  has also locked up  a six night stay for him and a guest as well as those all-important airport transfers, €1,250 expenses thrown in to boot.
