The two won bracelets positioned Brazil after only five countries in the absolute number of titles: United States (53), Israel (6), United Kingdom (4) and Canada and France (3). The green and yellow flag finished the series tied with Australia, South Korea and Russia. In the cash prizes ranking, the country ended in the 8th place of the list. Compared to the previous year, there was an increase of almost US$ 1 million.
Another number that draws attention is the number of ITMs in Brazil in 2019. There were 382 cashes won by Brazilians, a meteoric increase against the 205 awards of 2018. It was 7th in the list.
Just as it has done in online poker, where it already dominates the main festivals, Brazil is on the rise in the most important poker tournament in the world. The specialized press believes that Brazil, in a short time, can surpass the main world powers.
The great champion of the competition was Hossein Ensan, professional player born in Iran, but who has lived for 30 years in Germany. With the achievement, the world champion won the dreamy bracelet that symbolizes the great achievement and a prize of US$ 10 million. A total of 8,569 people participated in the most important tournament of the year, the second largest in history, with an US$ 10,000 entry.
