The LAPT Grand Final Carnival Poker Festival's Main Event kicked off 17 February in the beautiful Brazilian city of Sao Paulo. A total of 367 players entered the R$4.000 tournament, so the prize pool became R$1.343.100. Many well-known pros appeared at the Sheraton WTC Sao Paulo's poker tables, like Daniel Negreanu, Nacho Barbero, Humberto Brenes, Caio Pimenta, Elio Fox, Matthias de Meulder, Eugene Katchalov, Angel Guillen, Bill Gazes and Leo Fernandez.
By the third day only 24 remained. The Brazilian favourite Caio Pimenta started out as chipleader with 607.000 chips, but Daniel Negreanu (398.000) and Humberto Brenes (51.000) were both competing, even though, the latter were quite short stacked. Brenes didn't last too long, he finished 23rd: he pusdhed the remainder of his chips, 34.000 in with
K 
J (17th blind level: 1.000/3.000/6.000), Martin Santos called with 
A 3 and the board was 
5 8 A 9 3.
