Without these taxes such an event would have never been possible in the brazilian metropolis. Thus it became the biggest poker event ever in Brazil. Especially positive is the fact that 151 of the participants are locals.

Akkari and Humberto Brenes were celebrated by the crowd. Akkari, originating from Brazil, is literally a folk hero.
