BSOP announces US$ 1.25m in prize money at Foz do Iguaçu event

The Foz do Iguaçu stage will mark a very important point in the history of Brazilian poker: in a country where there was no tradition of poker, the BSOP will have carried out, since 2006, 100 stages in all its trajectory. For all the community of poker competitors in Brazil, this is a moment that must be celebrated and, therefore, the direction of the event is preparing many news that will be announced over the next few days.

The BSOP Foz tournament grid, as well as the São Paulo stage, was completely redesigned to be able to accommodate the number of participants from a historical stage of the series and, obviously, to offer the competitors the different modalities and structures that BSOP is always proud to present.

The stage will start with the "Start-up" tournament with the guaranteed prize of US$ 94,000 with a registration of only US$ 190. The next competition with guaranteed prizes is the Heads-up tournament: a stronghold of the great names, The tournament that has a limit of 32 participants will have the guaranteed prize pool of US$ 9,500.

The High Rollers tournament, which starts on day 2 of the main event, will also have a special prize pool, with a guaranteed minimum prize of no less thanUS$ 190,000. In addition, the satellite for this tournament will also have a minimum prize, with 10 guaranteed seats for High Rollers. Loved by the more aggressive players, the 6-handed tournament, which has the registration of US$ 470, will bring the guaranteed prize pool of US$ 63,000.

The main event, of course, will not be left out of the party: US$ 785,000 guaranteed in prizes in this landmark event, which will crown the 100th champion in the entire history of the series.

According to the PokerStars Team Pro, André Akkari: "The BSOP number 100 represents an important milestone for anyone who is really passionate about poker. I was there in the beginning of 2006 and we had to overcome the prejudice of a society that thought that playing poker was not true and confused us with gamblers. So I think that being able to play in the 100th stage is a celebration, even a victory for all poker players, a victory for all those who live and work in this market. Such as dealers, supervisors, directors, journalists, and ultimately all those who make poker happen. "
