Just as Brazil held its first PokerStars Latin American Poker Tour event earlier this month a Brazilian by the name of “ferpetrucci” took the spoils in last weekend’s WR2, ahead of a pack of Americans on the way to $287.60. And as this is the WR2 that all came for free. It was a situation reversed in the Sunday event where North America overcame South America this time when “RNDR4LYF” from the USA beat “fedecamper” of Argentina heads up to a $276 first prize.
