It's another massive pot for Daniel Aziz that vaults him back into the chip lead.
In the hand, Day 1 overall chip leader Rodrigo Navarro shoved all in from under the gun for 77,000. Next to act, Naresh Trivedi called the bet. On the button Daniel Aziz opted to raise, making it 200,000 total to play. The player in the big blind then moved all in for 124,000 total. Trivedi called the 200,000 raise from Aziz creating three pots. A main pot of 77,000 and four calls plus blinds and antes, a side pot with 47,000 more for the big blind's all in and a 150,000 side pot between Aziz and Trivedi with action still to go.
The flop came down and both players checked. On the turn, Trivedi checked. Aziz announced a bet, and Trevidi quickly folded awarding Aziz the side pot.

Both players were already drawing close to dead with Navarro only being able to chop with another queen on the river, but it was the that came and that awarded the monster pot to Aziz who once again holds the top chip leader spot.
Guilherme Cazula has been on a roller coaster ride of a day. He recently talked us over a couple hands that he played that had his chip stack bouncing up and down.
In the first hand, according to Cazula, Maria Aparecida De Alencar Oliveira, who goes by Cida, opened with a raise to 30,000 on the button. Cazula defended from the big blind. The flop came down and Cazula checked to Oliveira who bet 30,000 again. Cazul put in a three bet to 80,000 and Oliveira moved all in for right around 265,000. Cazula called and showed while Oliveira held on to . The turn was and and the river was a and that earned Oliveira the pot as she made a better two pair than Cazula.
He then mentioned that a few hands later he made a big call with on a nine-high board in a three-bet pot, and that got his chip stack back up to close to a million.
It's been a wild ride for Guilherme Cazula, but with 10 minutes to go, he just might make it to Day 3.
After a raise from Naresh Trivedi in late position, Daniel Aziz reraised from the blinds, making it 100,000. Action was back on Trivedi and he moved all in for roughly 450,000. Aziz called after some thought.

The board rolled out keeping Aziz in the lead the whole way. He took down the big pot with his pair of tens and that allowed him to retake the chip lead.
Only 27 players remain in the 888Live São Paulo Main Event and after 10 scheduled levels of play, as well as one unscheduled one, it’s 18-year-old Guilherme Cazula who leads the way. Cazula was able to bag up 1,706,000 chips to bring into the final day of play which begins tomorrow, Monday at 2 p.m. local time.
Many heroes fell today short of the money. It was a list of big name pros that were felted well before the money bubble as even popped. Bruno Politano went out flush over flush, Tiffany Michelle was two outered on the river, Leo Margets fell at the feature table and they weren’t the only ones. One of the biggest to fall was Felipe Ramos. Ramos four-bet shoved with ace-queen off and he was called by Gustavo Monteiro’s ace-king off. He couldn’t catch up and Monteiro made a straight to leave Ramos with less than one big blind. He was eliminated shortly after that.
Kara Scott was one of the only 888Ambasadors to make it into the money. She was eliminated at the feature table after dinner break and will not be making it on to Day 3. Unfortunately for Scott she was too late to join the Ladies Event which kicked off today and brought out 45 players. With a $13,000 WSOPE package offered for the winner the tournament saw big names such as Leo Margets, Tiffany Michelle, and Sofia Lövgren all hop in, although none of them made it to the final table. The ladies event is planned to finish tonight as well and we will post a full results list tomorrow along with the name of the winner who will be flying out to World Series of Poker Europe.
Of the players remaining, three men tangled back and forth with the chip lead. Guilherme Cazula, Daniel Aziz, and Osvaldo Ruben Irrazabal. Irazzabal was at the feature table for most of the day and we were unable to catch much of his action and stack building. Aziz, however, was very active throughout the day, and on multiple occasions took massive pots down to vault himself from the middle of the pack to the chip lead. Cazula also had a roller coaster of a day. On one of the last hands of the night, he was able to take a big pot from Leonardo Rizzo when he made a flush against Rizzo’s two pair. Cazula, Aziz, and Irazzabal finished 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in chips, in that order.
Day 3 action will begin in level 22 at 2 p.m. and the plan is to play down all the way to a winner. Currently, all the players remaining are guaranteed R$6,300 but of course they are all aiming for the R$200,000 first place prize. We’ll be back Monday to wrap up the coverage of the 888Live São Paulo Main Event.
